recommend me a digital camera

[xluben 10+ year member]

i'm looking for a cheap-ish camera. right now it's a 4 megapixel olympus from a few years back. i think it was a couple hundred back then.

i'd like 6+ megapixels, pictures that look at least as good as the current camera, reasonable ease of use, battery, charger, some kind of memory card included (but expandable for the future), and if possible i'd really love for it to have video w/sound.

and all of this for under $200. less if possible //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

let me know what's out there.

this is what i was looking at:

it was only $150 during black friday sales, but i didn't get it (or even go shopping).

i like that it's thin and has a nice big lcd, but it doesn't come with an sd card (not a huge issue if the price was right). and it does have video w/sound //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

it would actually be a gift for the girlfriend and she wants the wow factor of 6megapixels. i'm the one that actually wants the video w/sound //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

if it's not worth it to get a new camera for ~$150 i might not get a new camera....

i work at best buy get the SD600 nice camera.... and for the noob that was talkin about the MP, the more MP the larger you can make your print, even though i have seen a 24x36 canvas print off a 4.8 MP camera //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I would recomend you look into an Olympus C-7000. This is a $700 camera, but because the flash on the originals got stuck in the up position they were recalled, fixed and now many vendors sell them on E-Bay for around $200. I paid $220 shipped for one with a 1GB card, and all accesories. I love it!

some sample pics using it...

A Macro shot..

These are not real cars. They are 1/18th scale Models.

Keep in mind these pics were taken the first day I took the camera, so they are not the best this camera could do.

i got this a year ago, but is a great camera for a low cost. the Vivitar vivicam 4100. a few different modes, a good flash, takes good movies, weak sound, and heres a pic that is my favorite i took with it.

I vote for SD600 too. Amazon has it for 217.93 with free shipping, but I think newegg has a better price. I have a SD400 and I think the pictures come out great, the video is above average.
