Looking for a new camera...

I am in the market for a new camera (regular) - it's a Xmas present to myself with some money from my parents. Anyway I am looking at Minolta Freedom lines both APS & 35mm, Canon Elph sure shot, and Olympus stylus line. Can anyone give me advice on these or other cameras that you like, comparisons, etc. I really want a point and shoot, good camera, preferably several modes of shooting (panorama, night) that takes good pics and is under 200 bucks. Thanks.

Look up the cameras on www.cnet.com and www.dpreview.com

Both sites have tons of info on digital cameras. They can compare the cameras sibe-by-side and there are product reviews.
