I'm looking for a digital camera to buy for (hopefully) under $200. Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences close to this price range? Thanks

Great topic. I am interested in this too.

for under $200 I'd suggest either a Canon or a Kodak - both are quite good, and offer some cheap cameras that aren't too shabby. Maybe some of the HP ones too.

Under $500 I'd look at Sony or Olympus

The Fuji FinePix 2600 is a great 2.1 megapixel cam that can be had for about $200.

have a look at cnet.com digital camera directory... then you may want to check out such sites as camerareview.com and/or pricewatch.com to buy camera for a good price

Excellent resource: http://www.steves-digicams.com/

Also check out user rather than industry reviews at http://photo.net

Wow, I just looked at the specs on this camera and I like it a lot so far. Have you had any experiences with it? The optical and digital zoom seems like a really good feature. I'll start checking some of the review sites posted to see if it's worth getting and start looking at more cameras in that price range too.

l'espion, digital dream, nice matchbox size camera :)

i have sony dsc-p30 1.2 megapixel d-cam its really cool. check out my personal web site mahinder.com for my pics drawn by this cam. ;)

i got it for $170. check for bizrate.com for lowest prices for d-cam.

also this cam needs atleast NiMh battries.

steves-digicams.com is the best one for review and sample photos i guess now p31 model with 2.1 Mega Pixel have come and have same price as P 30.

Thumbs up for sony. :agree:

I second that as I own a Fuji. They even come with a battery charger. Nice, affordable, entry level camera.
