Might be a little to pricy for you but I intend to get the Canon A650 IS before spring to use when riding my Motorcycle.  
 It is 344.00 at newegg with a coupld freebies with it,   I have friends who have the Canon A 720 and they like it very much. :)

 I have been using an Olympus P & S C-50 that has given me good service. :)
