What is the best digital camera I can buy?

I'm only a teenager, and I need a good camera that I can take along with me on my vacations and that can help me keep memories of this summer! Remember, teens don't get paid that much so I'll have to use what I have saved up in babysitting money! I'm looking for a camera in the price range of $100-$200(or more[my parents could help a little ;D]). I don't like the big bulky proffesional kind. I want a thin light-weight one that will last me a while and has good quality! The problem is I just don't know which one is the best deal! Please help if you have any suggestion!

Please look at these cameras:

Canon Powershot A550 - $160
Canon Powershot A560 - $170
Fujifilm FinePix F20 - if you need a camera that does especially well in low light. The Fuji is the one that will fit into your pocket the easiest.

You will be pleased with the results from any of them.

Happy snapping! Report It

they are all over priced they should retail for no more than $100 for the top of the line

Anything Pentax makes is high quality. You should be able to accomplish this for around $200 to $250.

Even though I personally own this 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. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
4. It's very small and light;
5. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards;
6. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
7. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
8. And the price is a mere $120 [sold at Samy's Camera - www.samys.com, and Staples.com.]

Good luck!

listen to Dr.Sam he knows what hes talking about

what i suggest you is NIKON L5, as compare to price, it give you very good quality pics with 5x optical zoom.

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

Casio Z75 or Z1050 is a great choice, nice and thin, lightweight, shoots photos and video with sound. Easy to use controls and a 2.5" screen to view.

Recommend a Scandisk memory card, about 2GB.
