Best digital camera for under 200 bucks?

[rockpile]

I hear a lot of people reccomend canon,but I really am clueless in this area.

Looking for the best quality and hopefully longest battery life but quality pics are more important than battery life.

Thanks again for any reccomendations.

Actually Canon has great reputation regarding Digital cam but with $200 you can't expect some important spec. like a 5.0 Megapixels that proportionally affect quality. Maybe you can add more $100 then you can find much better cam.

What about kodak I dont need the best just for posting stuff on ebay etc

I have a Kodak EasyShare DX7630 - great camera. It's a 6.1 Megapixel camera, but goes for about double over what you're looking at.

I would imagine their other cameras are quality as well.

Go to a Best Buy or something and try them out first. Take some shots with them, feel them, and then look on the Net for the best price.

That's an excellent camera for the money. If you can afford another $35 or so, get a 256mb CF card for it.

This card is going to be a bit faster than the regular speed ones, so you dont have to wait quite as long to save pictures. I have the 128mb version, BTW.

I have the Canon Powershot A75 and its awesome. Excellent excellent printouts with fantastic quality. Multiple shot modes and many other goodies for the novie to intermediate photo taker. 3.2 MP. I got mine for 250 from Best Buy and Im positive you can get it cheaper off the net (got a BB gift certificate so had to use it somehow )

Take a look at the budget Fujifilm Finepix lineup.

Stay away from Fuji. I had a FinePix 2650 and it's garbage. The pictures are only good if the flash if on. Pictures taken without the flash are as blurry as the world appears to me when I'm not wearing my glasses....

i have a 2650 sitting right in front of me.. pictures look fine to me. i love my camera but wish it had a faster response time (it has a delay like almost every other digital camera out there). mine is 2 Mpixel and 3x optical zoom with 20 sec vid only (no sound) movie clips
