I think you might need a bit more than 3Mpixels for high quality large prints.

The Fuji F30 seems to be getting a lot of good reviews for low light shots. That might be slightly over your budget, but the older models F10 & F11 are also fairly good for low light, and might be worth a look.

If you keep an eye out you can find the F30 cheap right now. I just ordered mine from buydig.com for $340 and until the 15th of july Fujifilm has a $50 mail in rebate on the F30 and V10 as long as it's bought from an authorized reseller. That puts it into your price range.

I've read good things about the Canon A620 as well... there is even a review on this site about it. I liked the style of it. The flip/swivel lcd is an awsome feature. It's 7.1 MP and shoots pretty decent shots. Runs about $200-220 right now.
