Basically, I'm getting a digital camera for my birthday and am trying to decide which one to tell my mommy to get me.

Priorities:
1) Decent optical zoom
2) Fast shutter
3) Small
4) Less than $500

Go!
A Sony Cybershot is probably the best one to get. The one I got when I was 15 (about 3 years ago then, and it's still working, though it's on it's last legs even after being dropped and mutilated often), and it's very easy to use, small, and light. And $200 dollars! It'd be very good for a beginner!
My parents have the Sony Cybershot and it's pretty epic. This is a picture of my cat I took with that camera.
