Based on your purchase or research what is the best digital camera for around 250.00$.?

I need one that has a pretty long zoom and one that takes good action shots..my son is into alot of sports.

I have the Casio EX-S500 and it is apprx. $250.00. The zoom is 3x and that is pretty standard around that price range. It's very small (apprx. 1/4 inch thick) and has a sports best shot option. To take a look at photos with the Casio EX-S500 go to my flickr account at http://www.flickr.com/photos/rksar

Based on my research, and someone that I know owning one, I would say that the Hewlett-Packard Photosmart R827 digital camera is a good camera for around $250.00 (Actual cost: $249.99). Its features include:

~7.2 megapixels
~Acts as a camcorder - can record VGA clips
~Connect it to a TV and share photos that way
~And More

Hope this helped in your desicion! : )

I got a Kodak easy share c875 for about $200. I wanted to spend around $250, but this camera has everything I really wanted. 8 mega pixels, 5x optical zoom, and 5x digital zoom. I got it to take pictures of my baby, and they are coming out awesome! I would really recommend this.
