There are acouple of threads on here that go over this that would be worth pulling up.

Personally, I like the Canon S110. A touch over your budget, but it takes great pictures, full manual control, relatively large image sensor, RAW capture, and still an easy fit in a jersey pocket.

Assuming you already have a smart phone with a camera, what I would not do is buy a very small basic camera. There just isn't enough advantage over the phone camera to justify buying cheap compact cameras any more.

Thus I'd use my phone, or look for something in the class of the S110 (i.e. larger sensor, manual controls, raw capture) from Canon, Sony, Lumix or Olympus.
