Could anyone recommend me a good digital camera?

Question

My previous camera, was similar to this one:

http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665309154

It broke, because the button got stuck and all the functions just.. stopped working :| So, I've (well, my parents) decided to get a new one. I'm 15, and I'm usually going to be the one using it (for school and such). I'd prefer for it to be under $300. One with good image quality, but doesn't need to be professional or anything. My parents prefer Sony, but any recommendations are fine. Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

Canon PowerShot A590 IS

4X optical zoom, 8 megapixels, has image stabilizer for shaky hands and settings can be set manually (shutter speed/aperture) in addition to auto. Amazon.com has it for $145- +shipping new.

Answer 2

I know what most casual people think, but I suggest staying away from Sony. They specialize in high def tv screens and audio equipment but not cameras. Instead, a good camera would be those from the Canon powershot line. Here's the link:http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonsd1... .  It retails for under $300 usd, which should fit your budget =D
