One more vote for Canon A120IS.. if you want the manual options..!
If you just want a no-frills simple P & S cam, an IXUS 80 too would suffice. Both have good image qualities..

^^ That depends on what you need.
For a simple compact p & s - mainly for indoor or party/portrait photography - ixus 80
For more controls on photography - wanna try a little more - a720. Both have IS .. but A720 has 6x zoom and manual, Av, Tv modes also..
