Bit too expensive for me too - I was fortunate enough to receive it as a
gift! ;-)
I bought a Canon Ixus 127 HS for Caroline and it is superb - she is a
bit of a technophobe and gets on really well with it, having had several
cameras that she grumbled about before. It cost around £150 with a case
and memory IIRC, and appears to be available for considerably less now:

A couple of friends have Fujifilm cameras that have served them well,
just to back up that recommendation from someone else.
I bought my daughter a cheap Nikon compact (having for many years myself
been a Nikon SLR man), and was pretty disappointed by that in terms of
picture quality and build.
