What is the best digital camera for the least amt of money?

Please look at these cameras:

Canon Powershot A550 - $160
Canon Powershot A560 - $170
Fujifilm FinePix F20 - if you need a camera that does especially well in low light

Any CASIO is GREAT! I promise you they are great quality, pictures and everything. I am in love with the cameras. any are good. And wonderfully priced. =]

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.] Samy's currently has this model in stock at their Fairfax store.
