Canon or Nikon x100. I have two canon DSLRs, but for point and shoot, I went with Nikon. Stay away from ones that take regular batteries. Li-Ion batteries are a good thing.
A couple shots I took with the Nikon Coolpix P4. Just a pocket sized point and shoot cam that I bought for my wife on our honeymoon.

Both of the night shots were handheld. The vibration reduction feature works very well.

not too shabby, I used to have a Nikon Coolpix 5700 looked like a slr, had the reversable lcd screen 4.9mp overall not too shabby, packed it round Scotland/England 2 summers ago.
Before that was a Minolta Dimage S414 3.9mp, not bad camera for the time. And 1st digi cam I ever owned was a Olympus D-370 with a whopping 1.3mp. Before I had a Nikon D75 35mm slr, now that was nice camera till someone who thought so too stole it

I still like Fujis. I have a Rebel xti, and, while it's a big improvement, my Fuji large-format point-and-shoot took great pictures.......and it cost me $250 years ago.
Taking your time with composition and getting the right lighting is what makes good pictures after a certain point; if you want a super-small camera, the good ones are more expensive because all the components have to be better to perfom optimally in a small case with less lens depth.

Good point, the lighting and composition are the main factors in getting a good picture. Even if you have a $4000 DSLR, if your lighting sucks and you don't know how to compose a shot, it's going to look worse than a picture from a $20 throw-away camera.

I bought a cannon sd800is a few months back and it works great as a point and shoot camera. Image stabilizer works great. I rarely ever get a blury picture. I bought it for $400 a few months back when it first came out so you should be able to find it for around $300 now.
