Recommend me a good, cheap ($150-$200) digital camera

[Mr. Gundam]

My wife and I would like to get a new digital camera, but have no idea what to buy. We're not looking for a top of the line camera, just something between $150 and $200 that takes nice pictures.

The smaller the better, more than likely. We'll be using it for taking pictures on trips and just random daily life stuff. Something that's good with both indoor and outdoor lighting, I guess. My knowledge of cameras is "more megapixels are good, and you push a button and it takes the picture."

I'd recommend the one I have, a Fuji S700, but it's probably too large for your needs

I'm afraid I can't help you with recommendations for pocket-sized cameras

How is it? I wouldn't mind paying $225 for one if it's good.

If you guys are gonna suggest your cameras, why dont you take a picture of something to show the quality?

I've had it since last August and I still haven't tapped all the features

I love the black and white mode and the 10x zoom, and it does really decent night shots for a sub-$200 camera

Canon SD1000, I've seen it for around $170.

hell yeah.  From the reviews I've seen, it's the best bargain for the price.  It can really capture colors beautifully
