P&S rec for a friend... <300, good for low light?

[vshah]

so my friend realized she's leaving for Guatemala in a week, and doesn't have a camera. Something <$300, pocketable, decent at low light, and well built so it doesn't break the first time she drops it (big klutz). any ideas? She doesn't want a slr, and I know nothing about the current P&S market

Thanks,
Vivan

Newegg had the Canon S90 for under $300 earlier this week. That's probably your best bet

QFT S90...even if you went to the $330 it goes for much of the time.
