A friend asked me for a recommendation for a point and shoot around $300. Previously I would have said S120, but it seems like that line is dead for buying new units, but the replacements like the G9 X are $429. There seems to be a gap at around $300, there are models ~$200 and >$400 but it's hard finding quality options at around $300.

Are any of the regular Powershot lineup any good?

I'm also open to considering other brands if anybody has any recommendations.

Take a good look at a Casio p&s as they have a excellent reputation for excellent quality images. I had the Canon S120 and it's a great camera.

Bang for the buck, this Casio ZR800 is a sweet camera and this price is outstanding: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Casio-EXILIM-Digital-Camera-EX-ZR800RD-Red-BRAND-NEW-/112302698347?hash=item1a25c32f6b:g:vGEAAOSwNnRYgEAv

The Nikon 1 cams enjoy excellent IQ as does the Olympus XZ cams, but don't think they still make them, although still available on Amazon and eBay.

Forgot to add the Fuji Z900. While it's out of production, this camera really delivers the goods. It's one I always take for travel or hiking/biking. http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/fujifilm_finepix_z900exr_review/
