I'm looking for a good digital camera:?

That can store lots of pictures, rechargable battery, maybe shoot videos, and less tham $500. What's a good brand and model?

I recommend Kodak or Cannon. Number of phots also depends on how may pixels you are shooting at...Most of the time u hardly need more than 3 or 4. Also the size of the memory card u are using.
Most, except the cheaper ones will shoot video.
U can get a pretty good camera that'll do all this for a little more than $200, and a real nice one with large zoom and more for right at $400.

How many pictures it's able to store depends on the memory card
I have Canon Powershot, I don't remember which one of the models exactly, looks like A530
You can shoot videos with it and it has different functions
I like to (amateur) photographe nature, and it's been good enough for me

I don't no about $, but it cost 200 euros

Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists. It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular. The A640 appears quite similar and shares the "600" series numbering, so I guess it's just another upgraded version of the now-classic A620. It looks pretty much the same except for being a 10 MP camera. The continuous drive is a little slower, but the files are larger, so that's no surprise. I own a few Nikon DSLR's and I'd buy the Canon A630 or A640 for myself.

With this camera, you will find the memory card is a cute little token of thanks from Canon, but not much more. Buy a 1 GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III card. You will NEED the increased capacity and write speed to fully realize the benefits of your camera. If you want LOTS of pictures, buy a 2 GB card, and/or use a slightly lower resolution or file size.

If you want to trim the budget a little, the Canon Powershot A430, A530 or A540, are all great choices. You will need a decent memory card, though. I'd say get at least 512 MB.
