In all honesty, I might try and save up a little more cash (maybe go up to $140) and get an entry level Canon like the A560. Out of the previous cameras mentioned, the Olympus would be the most "quality" camera out of all of them, but even then that might be pushing it a little bit. I think saving a little cash and getting the Canon might give you better quality, and the fact you would be getting a Canon (or the Olympus) means getting a cam from a company that has a specialty or dedicated interest to cameras...it seems like a secondary business for companies like HP or Samsung. However, it is up to you in the end, just my two cents. Hi the best way to see what u can buy for a price or another look at a buying page or a camrea info page or the best if ur not the good on tell what to buy go to a store that u can trust and ask when i but my new camrea about 3 month ago i went and looked one store owner said that if ur looking for this type or that type he said make sure that its not a fake which means that it came from the main suplier You're probably not going to find a really good camera in that price range. Save up a little bit cash and buy the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 for around $180. You will be able to find the best deal at Best Buy. |
