Question Digital Camera Suggestions

Socki is going to buy a new camera tonight. I need suggestions. I'm not looking to spend over $200 but if it's a great deal I will go up to $250. Thanks for your help!

Where's Socki going to be shopping? All three of my digitals have been Nikon Cool Pix cameras and I loved them all. Easy to use and take nice pics. Should be able to get one in that range. Good luck!

I've had one and want something with better quality. I've gone thru a dozen $100 cameras. I see the pics in here and go nuts. I am finally ready to move up in the world.

Oh and Socki's going shopping in St. Mary's. I'll probably be going down the strip between Target, Wal*Fart, and Best Buy.

My newest Nikon was $400 and takes great pics. Just as an example, here is the listing of Nikons from Best Buy sorted by lowest to highest in price. I've also heard lots of folks who like the Canons too.

We bought a cheap ($100 - $120) Fuji 10 MP point and shoot over the summer @ Target. Takes Great pictures. Shutter speed not bad, not great, but not as bad as the Canon we had that died.

My point and shoot camera is Canon Powershot SD1200 IS, I think that is the model. Nice little camera, easy to use (Had to get something easy to use so my dad could use it on his hunting trips) I think I paid like $200 for it

I have a Fuji FinePix S1000fd available at BJ's for $180
Takes excellent pictures, nice zoom (12x) and the panorama feature is easy to use.
Uses "AA" batteries, so you can get an inexpensive charger and NiMH batteries.

Whatever you get, make sure it has a viewfinder and use it to compose your pictures
