I want to purchase a new digital camera and am wondering what is the best digital camera under 200.00 ?

take a look at the following sites and read some of their reviews. Lots of good cameras out there for that price.

I have a nikon and it is very good it has never gave me trouble!

It all depends on your particular requirements-
but from an image quality standpoint, it would be the Fuji F20 for $139.

I have an olympus D-540 and have had for several years as my take along always camera and it does a very good job ~ I have made many 8x10's and they are great and is an older fewer pixel camera 3 mega pixel's ~Allow that more than likely you will need to purchase a memory card seperatly and
if at all possible buy where you can go back and ask questions that help can be your best investment ~ Have Fun
