    I think the price of my Sony Cyber-shot was about $250. I like it a lot, and outside I can take good pictures of Tiki or Jinx no matter how fast they're moving.

    I don't have my own yet, I just use my parents' camera. I will buy one soon, though, since travelling all over Asia without one would be pretty darn stupid.

    I have a Casio Exilim and I like its Best Shot features.

    Happy Birthday to Me

    If you're buying a compact camera, don't bother with more than 6 MP :p. It could actually be reducing image quality rather than increasing it, because the optics in compact cameras aren't good enough to give a decent amount of light to image sensors much bigger than 6 MP, thus causing more noise on your images.

    I HAS POWERSHOT.




    It's a really good camera for its price. If you want a more compact one, you could consider one of those models with lithium batteries, they are a lot thinner. I chose one with stylus batteries so I can always have spare batteries with me, though. I suggest you get either a Canon or a Nikon, I think they're the best in that price category.

    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.

    I use the Sony Cybershot DSC-T200. I purchased it on Black Friday for an obscenely low price, so...
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    I have the SD 1000. I got it over christmas and I like it. I don't know much about all this fancy camera what ever but I do know that it auto adjusts the ISO for me and I think I have a manual option available. Good enough for whatever I am gonna be taking a picture of. Here is a picture of my dog.

    Truth!

    I use one of these mostly:

    Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review

    But when I'm out and about for fun, I use a 6MP Casio thing that cost like £400.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!
