Whats the best digital camera for 150 bucks or under? Are Canons good?

I'm on a budget and need a digital camera; and so I"m asking for great cameras for around 150 bucks. I hear Canons are really good value for the price, but what do you think? Are Nikons and Fugis good? I hear that they are but what do you think?!? I don't need a superb camera;just something that will take good pictures(5 megapixels or more), that is relitively small, has optical zoom, and is a fair price. Not asking too much, am I? I really hope you can help me! If you bought a crappy digital camera, you can let me know what that is too! Anything will help!
