I'm not really a camera guru but i've just bought the Panasonic DMX-FZ28 which is is smaller than a dslr but still has a lot of the features as well as taking video in 720 HD.

Only costs 239.99 if you buy online at Comet, bonus.

Panasonic DMC-TZ7 is around your price point...there are plenty of threads here on it.
