I want to buy a Camera for home photography?

I'm looking for a Camera. My basic needs are for Home Photography. I don't wanna be a professional or something just need a camera which can deliver best pictures for Facebook or for home parties. I'm unable to get good photos with my Iphone so I want something better. My budget is less than 300$.It would be great if some professional photographer can help or someone who knows about this stuff. Thanks!

Added (1). It would be great if you can suggest few models. I don't know much about cameras.

Definitely go for a Canon. Best make out there.

If you just mean home photos then 5S has a great camera, if you mean real pro photography, a DSLR is what you need.

Your budget rules out DSLR's. Among compacts, the premium compacts, with a step up in optics and slightly larger 1/1.7"" sensor, will provide better image quality than the even smaller 1/2.3" sensor.
Sticking within your budget, there's the Nikon P330 for $264

Extending your budget a little is the Canon G15, currently marked down to $349 while it lasts.Th G15 is being replaced by the G16.

The heftier G15 allows you wider aperture at telephoto than the Nikon P330. The G15 has a hotshoe, which allows you to add an external flash. If you have a white or nearly white ceiling, pointing an external flash at it (bounce flash) can give more pleasing lighting than direct flash.

The Pentax MX-1 has now been marked down to $265. This camera lacks a hotshoe. It has less zoom range than the Nikon P330, but it has wider telephoto aperture.

Amazon has the Canon T3 with 18-55mm kit lens marked down to $360 at the moment.

A canon rebel is a great camera and I highly recommend it.
