* Very good photo quality, noise levels low through ISO 400 (in good light)
* Well built for the price

Buy a brand name camera that has background in photography, like Canon, Fuji, Nikon or Kodak. I would NOT recommend Panasonic, Casio, Samsung and Sony because they are not in the business of making photographic equipment, someone else makes the product for them and they just put their own label on it. They may have a nice sleek design but in addition to the design of the camera, your camera needs to be able to take high quality photos and camera needs to last a long time. The concept is that, buy a camera from the makers who understand photography and been doing it for the past several decades.

I am HIGHLY recommending you to buy Canon. These days they are the most popular and extremely reliable. Canon SD1000 sells about $220 and its an excellent camera. It has 7.1mega pixels and trust me thats more than you need. You can easily put it in your purse or shirt pocket. Its very solid and you can even record short movies, depending on the size of your memory card. I highly recommended this camera.
