My sister, who just graduated, is ready to purchase her first digital camera. She wants to spend about $150 (no more than $200 max) on one and is looking for one that takes great quality pictures yet is a fairly easy-to-use camera for her first digital.
I have heard good things about the Canon Elf Digital as well as some of the Nikons so am wondering if one of these might be a good choice? And as far as Nikons, I don't know what exact model to go after. Any suggestions on a particular model in her price range (in any brand) would be much appreciated. Thanks!! my suggestion

the guide should answer your questions Nikon is a good rival for Canon, but in most camera tests Canon performs better. I would suggest get the Canon, but not an Elph. Just note that the Elph doesn't have a high megapixelsI count as some of their other camers do. I reccomend the Canon PowerShot A630 Digital Camera or the Canon PowerShot SD600 Digital Camera. Make sure you shop around to get the best deal. Try a tech site call newegg.
Hope this helps 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.
