I'm looking for a new digital camera for around/under $150

I currently have a Nikon Coolpix L22, and while it served me well for about 5 years I think the lens is starting to break on me. I figure it's about time for a new camera, but I'm not a camera expert so I have no idea what to get. I mostly intend on using it while traveling so I'd like it to be fairly easy to carry around, and preferably with a good battery life. Any suggestions?

I have a connon ELPH530HS which i really like :)

It's only 10.1MP but it has 240fps slow motion and 12x zoom. It s also a 3" touch screen, I really like it.

It doesn't look like the Coolpix series has interchangeable lenses, so you will probably need to get a new camera. 

 

One with good reviews is the bigger brother, the Coolpix L830. It's got a 16MP sensor so if you need to crop just a little, you won't see any pixels. For reference, a 1080P screen is only 2MP.

 

Very few bad reviews, so it looks like it'd be a good buy.

I'd check out the Olympus XZ-10 iHS if you can swing the extra $50. They're currently on sale for $199 down from $399.
