camera recs?

Alas, our camera has gone to the Great Electronics Pile in the sky-- it did not survive its fateful fall to a freezing Philadephia sidewalk. :( And we definitely need to buy a new one before we go to New Zealand in six weeks!

So I thought I would ask you, dear flist, if anyone has any camera recommendations. We would really like something that can take good pics under convention conditions (most of our hall costume D*C pics turned out grainy and not-great quality). Bonus points for something that's small and not insanely expensive.

Basically, I'd recommend figuring out how much you want to spend first, then look at what's available in your price range. Canon is a good brand (my Canon A95 is still running great after four years of abuse). I'd recommend the A590, since it's been getting good reviews and is selling for around $110.
