The Kodak EasyShare cameras are good, and at least one model is available for under $200.

$200 for the Camera itself, god, my memory cards cost more than that LOL. I would go with a Nikon Coolpix 5700 / 5 Megapixel / 8x Optical Zoom / 4x Digital Zoom but there about 2x the ammount your allowed to spend. Now a Fuji Finepix S3100 / 4 Megapixel / 6x Optical Zoom / 3.4x Digital Zoom would be a grate starter camera for $249.99. And maybee even a Kodak EasyShare DX6490 / 4 Megapixel / 10x Optical Zoom / 3x Digital Zoom for $279.99. I mean I started out with a Sony Cybershot back in the day, there nice cameras but cost about $800.00....
I would tell you to get the Camera I have laying next to me but its about 14x as much as you have to spend. I would go with the Fuji Finepix, they have nice warranties and have extremely nice lenses. As for the Kodak, it lacks in the lens department and does not really have that good of a body - and well it does have that fancy name. |

^ Agree. Cameras from the Nikon Coolpix series are pretty good. Or Canon Powershot.

Well, all of the good quality cameras are over 200. they're about 250-up. Well it depends on the megapixels (for pictures to come out good when blown up). I would recommend a nikon coolpix (i have that), sony cybershots, or canon.

QUOTE(JAMx33 @ May 25 2005, 3:18 PM) I like my Canon PowerShot S500. I think it's an 's'.  However it costs like 500 dollars.  i think you mean sd then. the one with the curved side.. but if it is the sd500, then the price i see it at locally is $400. |

^it's probably the z55, 57, or 50.. but none of those are $200, haha.
in the same order, prices. 350, 380, 300. i'm on the site. so calm down. i don't memorize these things. maybe. only on the cameras i'm really really interested in.  like this.  minemineminemine. edit, holy cow, the thumbing killed it.

Professional Cameras cost about $200, but you can stil get a high quality one under $200.

Decent cameras can definitely be found for $200 or less, but a professional one will cost into the thousands of dollars. |

i just compared the prices i wanted at bestbuy.com and with the camera brands i wanted and things, i suggest one of the Canon powershot SD hundreds. thats the one i have, and it works really well. for something in your price range id say SD200 but the latest, SD500 is GREAT.
