$168.95 Canon Powershot A540, 6 megapixel, 4x Zoom. BUT it's bulky, takes 2 AA batteries and it probably smells like fish.

Canon Powershot A540, like ooohfishy mentioned. True it's slightly bulky (or marginally compact, if you prefer) - but it's 6MP and is now fairly cheap. Runs off 2xAA batteries and has an optical viewfinder in addition to the LCD screen.
This model has a variety of manual and auto settings for shutter/aperture, and fires a SINGLE flash (when in manual mode) which can be used to trigger slave flashes. And for those really wet caves, you can get the WP-DC2 housing to protect it.
Bought one about 8 months ago, and haven't noticed it smelling of fish yet.
