Does your friend have to buy new? You can find the original G9X used for around $350. Same for the Sony RX100, which is still highly regarded.

If your friend is willing to go a bit bigger for better image quality, you can find used/refurb G1X cameras for around that price. They have their limitations but I adore mine. There are also Fuji X30s for sale around that price, they don't quite have the IQ of the 1" or larger sensors but they feel great in the hand and make taking pictures fun.

I'll check if she's willing to go used.  I sorta wanted to avoid that since I didn't want to be on the hook if anything went wrong.

Personally, I went from the S100 to the RX100II for image quality reasons, but the RX100 series is above the price range and ha only gotten more expensive.
