I need a good, cheap digital camera. Ideas?

I want to capture photos and video. I will be recording myself playing the guitar and want good sound. But I am pretty broke at the moment and can only spen about less than $150. Thanks for any help.

circuitcity.com has some sales going on now.

You can get the Kodak C643 for around $120, for the money it does a good job, the videos are 640 x 480 30fps

I suggest this one, you can buy it for around $115

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. Takes "continuous" 2 frames per second "action/sports" images;
4. Has macro feature for close-ups of small objects focused under 6 inches;
5. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
6. It's very small and light;
7. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards;
8. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
9. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
10. Has tripod mount on bottom of camera;
11. And the price is a mere $119 [sold at Samy's Camera - www.samys.com, and Staples.com.]

Good luck!

not much good quality choices under $150. but for about $100 more you can get a super one. Truly I have found the all around best camera for the Money is the Cannon SD600 or higher! it is only about 1/2 inch thick and is perfectly rectangular with no weird shapes (so it will fit in your pocket or wherever without allot of bulkiness鈥? which makes it easy to take around places. The zoom is pretty darn good! And it takes excellent Macro shots (close up magnified) it also has action so you can take pictures of someone running without waiting for the shutter and the digital camera to reset for the next picture. In addition it has real good video & has good battery life & upgradeable SD memory slot. yeah there are other cameras but I travel allot for work and it is great to just slip this baby in my front pocket take with me sightseeing or to work and I hardly know I have it on me which also works great cause what people don鈥檛 see they wont try to steal in public like those cameras you always have to hang from your wrist or shoulder like a purse! Check the camera out on the web or at Best Buy or Circuit City or something yourself. The SD model is the best and the 600 is 6.0 Mega pixels 3x zoom with 10X digital zoom. If you go with a model larger than 600 the camera remains the same but the pixel rating goes up! Now about the price I paid $260 for the camera 6 months ago at circuit city I bought a 2 year no questions asked warranty replacement for around $50 more. So the way I see it in the next 2 years I accidentally drop the camera I go back to Circuit city and they give me a gift card for $250 & I upgrade to the new model and pay the difference.....what a deal! That almost sells the camera itself! Well Good luck & let me know what you decide on! Hope that helped?
