Canon has always been my favorite. A Powershot with IS (Image Stabilization) will give you knockout quality.

Yeah, keep it simple and get either a Canon A series (if you want to spend a little less) or a Canon SD series (if you want a smaller camera)

Like others have said, Canon with IS

canon powershot A590 was my backup camera for quite a while and I loved it.

I recently picked up a Canon SX100 for my mom, and played with it a bit before shipping it off to her. I absolutely loved it, and the zoom range was definitely worth it. Newegg currently carries them for $215, and if you wait for the right moment, you can pick them up in stores for a bit under $200, with the appropriate combinations of sales and coupons.

Plus, CHDK was recently ported to the SX100, so untold fun can be had with it.

In addition to Canon, Nikon & Fujifilm make some pretty good cameras in that price range.
