Looking for a Point and Shoot Camera that is vertically appleasing?

I'm Looking for a Point and Shoot Camera that also has long focus or compressed focal length (normal to compressed distortion)? Is there a camera like that on the market? Perferribly Nikon or Canon. Most point and shoot cameras have really bad distorted wide range making everything wide and scary. I want pictures to be more vertically appleasing. I'm looking for an everyday camera that is slim and small to fit in a pocket. The most I want to spend is $225 (I know don't laugh)

Added (1). Vertically appealing, sorry for the confusion, meaning, people or things don't look wide (horizontally) or stretched out horizontally. For example, I own a sony, and everytime I take pictures with it, every single person looks heavy, and objects look stretched out. Is there a camera that takes pictures as true as our eye sees? When my friend uses her canon, people look their size, and the objects look normal, but her camera is discontinued. I'm looking for 35mm equalient with a compressed or a long focus feature. This explains the basics: http://en.wikipedia.org/...otography), scroll down to the pink waterbottles, notice that the 18mm camera lense captures a very distorted figure, as the 55 mm, even though zoomed in, looks very appealing compared to others.

Wide-angle lenses have distortion, this is a characteristic you can't avoid. The PowerShot ELPH 300 HS should be within your budget and it is quiet slim.

Appleasing? I'm not sureif you mean appealing or pleasing. I suppose either.

You do know that you can turn the camera on it's side and take vertical shots? And that you can fix some of the wide angle distortion with software?

All wide angle lenses have some distortion so there's no avoiding it entirely. But if it's too wide, just zoom in some. Problem solved.

Not knowing what "vertically appleasing" means, can't help you.

Distortion is the laws of physics at work in wide angle. You can't change physics.
What is appleasing? It's not a word.
You can fix distortion in photoshop or camera raw, but you can't have a wide angle without distortion. You can't change the laws of physics, So… I would say there isn't a camera out there for you. Sorry!

You could look for one that doesn't have an ultra wide lens. I think there are some that start at 38mm… Might be OK for the distortion. Not going to get super wide shots with it either.

ETA: there's nothing there to scroll down to on that link. I think this is the one you were using? Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion_%28photography%29
THe 35mm equivalent would be a full frame DSLR-you are talking $2500 and up body only.
A DSLR with a crop sensor (smaller than the 35mm) is available and they start at about $500. They are both also going to produce wide angle distortion if you are using 18mm as opposed to 55mm. 55MM on a 35mm or full frame DSLR is normal view-no distortion for the most part.
Every camera at roughly 50mm will have no perspective distortion. Every camera at 18mm will have perspective distortion.
The 18mm to 55mm comparison that you are talking about is what I was saying when I said look for a lens that doesn't have ultra wide angle. Or as some one else said zoom in. If you that 55mm shot was taken with a zoom and you used 18mm it would be distorted no matter what, you have now gone to a wide angle. You can't make an 18mm view perform like a 55mm view. It's physically impossible, even on a full frame DSLR.
Here is some information on lens distortion:
