What's the best digital camera for not a lot of money??

I've been looking for camera for quite a while now. I just can't decide which one i want to settle on. I want it to be something i can use for a while, and takes really good pictures. I am looking to get into photography so i want a good one, but don't have a lot of money to spend on it! Thanks for any advice!! :)

ummm below $100 - $150

Define 'not a lot of money'.
What you could do, is plug your requirements (including price) into this camera database for a list of potential cameras: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare....
You can then use that same site and http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare.... to read in-depth reviews for your short list.

Nikon D50

High quality pictures for a little money. Now priced below many Point&Shoots that just have the tiny sensors. And the D50 has a p&s mode...so it is as easy to use.

buy a used one off eBay, maybe like an Olympus C-2500L or something comperable depending on your preferences.
