I want a new digital camera. I want the best for my money. I want a point and shoot kind of camera. I want to spend around $100 to $150. I want to be able to take cute pictures like this one:
http://xce.xanga.com/f47d461531530124180... Look for a camera that uses SD memory cards, a 5mp sensor or better, has at least a 3x OPTICAL zoom and has a macro mode so you can take photos like the one you linked to your question.
You can search for such a camera using the website dpreview dot com. For some reason when we link to that site, we get a 999 error here.
This should get you to a few choices that will fit your criteria. Hey! I'll suggest you just go to diff. sites such as of sony or cannon or nixon and see it for urself, I mean they show u all the features and the price too, you can figure it out urself. Even though I personally own this ultra compact camera, I would still like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 for the following reasons:
1. Besides taking well-exposed hi-quality 5 megapixel pictures, it uses a standard set of rechargeable double AA batteries which last a very long time;
2. Has a 3x optical zoom;
3. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
4. It's very small and light;
5. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards;
6. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
7. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
8. Has tripod mount on bottom of camera;
9. And the price is a mere $99 [sold at Samy's Camera - www.samys.com, and Staples.com.]
