Default Camera Suggestion For Gift Would Be Most Appreciated

Hello,

I would like to buy as a present one of those really small and thin
digital cameras as a present for a couple with a new baby.

They are Totally non-technical, and would probably not use 90% of
the features that these cameras seem to come with now.Have no real
interest in anything Photographic, but would, of course, love to take
and have baby pix.

What I would like, I think, is:

Truly Auto-Focus.

Simple to use (Really Simple); without the need for going thru multiple
option screens, etc.

$ 125 approx. max. Is this adequate for something "decent" these days ?

Thin, small, and lightweight.
Good reputation and history for surviving some bumps and thumps, etc.

A decent physically small size memory card; Not one of those "micro SIM"
cards that cel phones use. Would want it to be easy for them to just
insert in the slot in their PC, and either view, or send to others, the pix

Some sort of zoom, I guess; perhaps 5X ?

A decent size and quality viewing screen.

Easy to transfer to the PC. Viewing on their TV would be nice, too, of
course if practical.

Not sure what else to ask for, as, frankly, I'm not all that into
photography myself.

Any thoughts on would be most appreciated.

Much thanks,
Bob
