Canon makes great ones from 300-400 and best buy sells them. I cant remember which one my sister got but it takes great pics plus has alot of features. Pic a Canon from the best buys site and start looking for reviews to see what its short comings are. To me the olnly cameras worth getting are the SLRs.

I agree. Go with anything from Canon. They make great stuff.

Dont forget to get a tripod if you dont already have one! A good camera needs a good and steady base!

i have a sony dsc-w7...cost me about 250 bucks off ebay. works great for what it is...but you cant go wrong with canon either.

i would look for either a nikon D50 or canon digital rebel on ebay ... not sure what they go for these days but those are the cheapest, but best quality of the cheapest, SLR's
