went through this in the last year.
starting with a $ 700 budget, i would look at a camera of around $ 450. the reason I say this is that you will need to get a decent tripod to make full use of the camera, and then extra bits such as additional batteries, bag etc.
I got a Panasonic Lumix FZ80 when it was on sale, and so far I am extremely happy with it. it is not without some limitations, but that is par for the course with anything under several thousand $
P.S. tripod I got was a Slik Sprint Mini 2
