Canon PowerShot SD600 6MP is a great camera. You can get it from Amazon.com right now for $209 which is an awesome deal! Here is the direct link

don't get less then a 3 mega pixel camera. Canon, Fiji, and Nikon are really good brands. go to target, talk to the person at the camera stand, and tell them what you are looking for, your budget, what you plan on using it for and the size that the average pictures are going to be. they will be able to help you out

Canon Powershot A530 - $180 A540 - $240

My local Sears has the A530 on sale fro $129.99 from 6PM to midnight on Saturday (12-9-06), so you'll have some money left over for a decent memory card, but the 540 is a nicer camera.
