The Olympus PEN models and the TG-1 are great models for under $400. I have an Olympus eVolt e-420 DSLR (wayyyy more than $400) so I am kind of partial to the Olympus brand. I have been using their cameras for several years now and have yet to notice anything worth complaining about. Here is a link to what may well be my next knock-around camera.
Tough TG-1 iHS
Just my $0.02 worth. Hope it helps.

i would buy a used Nikon or Canon DSLR, entry level like D3100 or 5000 with lens. trust me you will be addicted and pictrues are not even comparable to regular point and shoot.

Ok, I'm a Canon guy, but I will say there are many brands that are good. First you need to decide what are you going to use it for. Do you need a high zoom factor? Are you planning on enlarging photos (more than 8x10), if so, then pixel rate is important. Are you going to shoot video, do you want 1080 or 720. Do you need low light? After you decide on what you need then look at what is available.
I use one site to purchase all my photo equipment.... Not sure if it's ok to say but will anyway... BHPhotovideo.... They are the best.
Hope that helps

Otherwise any nikon/canon/olympus p&s is generally pretty good.
