I haven't gone low-end camera-shopping for a good long while, but that price range is very much on the basic end of things. If you want a real fancy-pants camera, like one you can switch lenses and so forth, it'll run you on the order of $1000. OTOH, a basic point-and-shoot digital camera is already miles ahead of your basic point-and-shoot film camera, so unless you are looking to do art photography, you will probably do fine with something in the sub-$200 range, especially if you are willing to spend some time doing some image processing to spiff them up.
This is one of those things where the range of available products is so wide, it's hard to make a recommendation unless you have a clear idea what you want. I suggest going to a Best Buy and taking a look at what they have; that'll at least give you a better idea of where you land on the spiffiness-vs-cost curve.
