I don't know what you should prefer whether handycam or digicam. If the purpose is video, you can go for handycam...

If you prefer digicam and you stress more on "video", better go for Sony. Hmmm... in your budget WX150.

Ram,
SX150 or S2980 if you want manual exposure controls else,

IXUS 220 if you can find one

WX50, it's little over your budget

SZ1
S6200

IXUS 220 if you can find one,
SX150, if you are OK with it's slow performance and size
WX50, alternative to IXUS 220

or TZ18
