Needing a great camera on a budget

[Tuney]

Hey guys....

We currently use a cool pix camera that is four years old. I'm wanting to upgrade it before our trip in oct. I would like for it to have a good clean zoom, does good images at night and is less than $200.

Any suggestions?

For P&S cameras, we have had good luck with the Canon PowerShot and G series for years. The PowerShot SX130 IS is within your budget, but you would have to check the stats on the night images.
