A few months ago I bought a Canon Elph S400. The Elph series has always recieved very good ratings, both from consumers and groups like Consumer Reports. It takes terrific pics, is small, and even takes 2 minutes of movies with sound, which are not choppy.
I would recommend immediatly purchasing a large memory flashcard. I bought a 256 mb card and took almost 300 pictures plus some videos on a recent trip, and only used about half the card.
Shop around for prices, but check here . (Just be careful about when you order so that you don't get camera-flavoured cardboard)

Second the elph, although I have the older, less-MP S200, which has proven more than adequate for snapshots. Don't bother with Bilmore's suggestion of the top-end professional SLR unless you're a serious photographer, in which case you'd be using film.
Check amazon for memory card deals . . . and you'll support breasticle day.
Adorama has very good prices and reliable shipping. Their store is in NYC, so you could just drop in to buy. bhphoto.com is another place worth considering--also very good prices.
