Digital camera advice(i want to buy a new one)?

i want to replace my camera which i gues is a peice of crap (DXG-538)no i dont guess i know its a peice of crap any way i want to find a good camera that easily portable to events like plays but still is a good quality camera i want one that has zoom can take videos and pictures mostly of moving things i want it to not have a long shudder delay must be able to hold a memory card if needed in other words if it doesnt hold at least 40 pictures its self i dont care if its a bit bulky as long as it takes a good picture hopefully i can get it from a common store i hope wal mart its the closest one for like 1 1/2 hours away it needs little to none shudder delay and shortest distance between the time it takes from one picture to another it cant break the budget about 150 dollarsmaybe a little more if its a good enough camera to spend the money on

o yea i forgot their a staples near by to if that helps if you have a model number or something where i could go in and say do you have this and theyd be able to tell me

I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice.
The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras and learn as much as they can from the internet.
Go to the store and hold them and try them to see what they feel like and how they take pictures.
I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera.
Good Luck

my suggestion

digital camera GUIDE
be sure to check titles on the left side
the guide should answer your questions

Check out ebay Luv and get something with more than 5 megapixls. I prefer sony the offer memory cards up to 5 gigs.

try canon. i love their cameras. they have all the features you want plus they have stylish and slim cameras

As per ur requirement, better u go for a Video camera which can also take good quality still pics stored in a memory card.

almost all brands have this kind of models.. SONY is most popular.

Any video camera as per your required features also, having provision for memory stick slot costs more than ur budget 150 dolars.

With your specs, you should check out the Fuji 31fd. Great pics, video, etc.

I have had the PENTAX Optio W10 (a slighty older version) for a few years now and I absolutely LOVE it!
