Really good digtial camera (samsung? sony? cannon?)

Question

which have you found to be the best for $250 or under :) thx

Answer 1

I've been happy with the Canon PowerShot A series cameras. The ones that I recommend are the A590IS and the A720IS. Very similar between the two except the 720 has a longer zoom and higher quality video mode.

Answer 2

I have Sony DSC H5 and bought Canon A720IS at Walmart.com for $199.00 both are good cameras.  If I was spending $250.00, I would get the Canon SX 100 with 12X optical zoom for $249.00.  I like the image stitch software that comes with Canon camera for making Panorama pictures.

Answer 3

The all time winner bargain compact digital camera is the Canon 7.1 megapixel PowerShot SD1000 [not the IS] 7.1 with an added 2- gig memory card which when set in the manual mode for "Vivid" colors and videos at 30 fps in 320 dpi format provides killer images and videos. It currently sells for $160 at Sears:
