What kind of digital camera is light weight, cheap & affordable, and takes great quality pixels/colors?

That gets all the great details, probably around $200 or $250 or less. That's easy to carry, light weight, and captures high quality photos that you can upload into the computer. Any suggestions? I've heard the Cannon brand was good.

I would go for the Canon A550

7.1 megapixels
4X optical zoom (most cameras have only a 3X zoom)
AA batteries (available worldwide.. in convenience stores)
Good Battery Life
Scene modes.. set the camera for the seashore, snow,
indoors.. foliage.
Automatic modes
Manual Modes so you can really play around learn photogrpahy

Plus the great Canon Name>

I have an HP that i bought bout ayear ago. It is great. Got it at office max

It depends on what type of digital you are looking for, if you are looking for an SLR, then yes go with a Cannon, they are really good. If you are looking for a point and shoot I recommend the Kodak Easyshare camera line. I have the 650 and I love it. It is lightweight and easy to use, and it takes great pictures!! It also comes with its own photo editing software for your computer. the range for the camera is around $200, but you can also find bundles that include the easyshare printer for around $300-350. Good luck, hope this helps

I have a Fujifilm Finepix and I think it's a great camera with a good price. I bought mine here:

I spent $175.00 on my Canon PowerShot A540 and it was one of the best buys I ever made. Canon leads the rest in digital cameras because they got into digital before anyone else, so the other companies are scrambling to keep up. It's very easy to carry and lightweight (it is a bit bulkier than some other digital cameras, but I'm used to carrying around a clunky old 35mm SLR). For picture quality, you can't beat it -- you should see some of the pictures I took last year in Hawaii. You'd think a pro took them...And yes, the photos upload to the computer VERY easily.
