Not sure what exactly you are looking for (point-and-shoot or something more advanced). I have a point-and-shoot Canon Powershot A570IS, and I am happy with it. It takes nice pictures, and officially weighs 7.2 oz with lithium batteries (takes 2 AAs). It's not waterproof, which was mentioned by others, but a camera being waterproof is not a requirement in my opinion. Just make sure to store it where it won't get wet, and wipe it down if you are taking picutres in the rain.
