Consumer Reports list this as their highest rated P&S at $200 or less, 
ISO 400 claimed max usable ISO in their tests

Rated a couple points lower and a bit more than $200 but with 
"excellent" for delay time to first shot after power on + ISO 1600 
claimed as usable.  But at 12 MP I'm not sure how unless reduced 
resolution available.  Maybe you can download the user's manual.

DPreview doesn't test many of these low cost cameras
