I'm not sure there are good point and shoot cameras around $300 anymore. This category has been thorougly routed by the smartphones.

I agree. It's a sad situation really. The true point and shoot camera has disappeared - those cameras that really had only one setting and all one needed to do was, literally, point and shoot.

The advanced compacts that remain are more expensive. They have the potential to give much better results but you need to know what you are doing and take more control of the camera.
