Point and Shoot just means that it's a camera so simple to operate that you just point it and press the button. The camera's onboard chip does all the rest, including focusing, setting the exposure, and far, far more depending on its sophistication.
All of the major manufacturers build good point and shoot cameras. Choose a Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Sony or similar brand that has the features you need. Don't get carried away by MP count. In inexpensive cameras, believe it or not, lower counts tend to give better results, all else being equal. MP count is largely marketing.
