For sub £200 market it's difficult to beat the image quality offered by Sony CyberShot and Panasonic Lumix. Sony CyberShot gives better low light images than the equivalent Panasonic Lumix. Whilst, the Lumix has better colour fidelity in daylight photos. However, the Lumix range is garnering a reputation for dust getting into the lens.
Not heard of a share button before, but on a quick Google it looks to be a Kodak EasyShare feature? Trying to find if there are equivalents for other camera manufacturers.
In the mean time, what is your budget?

Sony's picture management software, Picture Motion Browser, includes an upload to Facebook/flikr/Picasa option, but no 'on camera' feature as I can see.
Similarly Panansonic's PHOTOfunSTUDIO software can upload direct to Facebook. Again, no on camera feature.
The cameras with built in "share" features all seem to still require the camera to be connected to a computer (for some reason I had assumed it was done via wifi). So as well as the Kodak EasyShare C195, M531, Z915 etc have a look at the Fujifilm FinePix Z70.

If the feature "has" to be on camera have a look at the Fujifilm FinePix Z90. It's available for under £100 in a range of colours. Newer than the Z70 previously mentioned and looks to have reviewed slightly better on launch. Otherwise I'd go for something like the Sony Cybershot W580, W570, W560 or W530 due to their Carl Zeiss optics. Or perhaps the Panasonic Lumix FT10 is she's a bit clumsy
