What is a good digital camera that is not too expensive?

Right now I have a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S40 and when I first got it about 2 years ago it was wonderful. But the longer I have it the more things go wrong with it. First, the screen when blury, and now the screen goes white all the time! It still takes pictures ok though. I know it is not just my camera that does this because I know 2 people with the same model that are having the same problems! I would like to purchase a new camera, but being a college student I am broke A LOT... so does anyone have any recommendations on a cheap but good camera???

Peruse the list at this link to help with your decision.

I like the Canon A85 I have, but it's been discontinued in favour of higher resolution varieties.

User friendly, good handling weight, auto and manual options, and a reasonable price tag.

I have a FinePix F20 and it's great for just 199euro. It has high sensibility (up to 2000ISO), a good variety of shooting modes (about 19), and a customizable manual mode (photometry, exposure, shutter, white balance, etc). And the battery is said to last up to 600 shots (mine lasts about 480 most of them with flash, USB operations and the screen always lit). There's also the FinePix F30, which is the same as the F20 but with with higher sensibility (3200ISO), and the F31fd which is one of the first cameras on the market with face detection hardware, which improve quality in portraits. Good luck!

Go for either a Nikon or a Canon
