Answer 3

Hi,

I really like my PINK Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80. I highly recommend it to you for many reasons. This is a great camera for its price. This might be the best choice for its class because it provides IS (image stabilization for shaky hands and moving objects: anti blur), 2.5 inch LCD, 7.2 megapixels and 3x optical zoom.

Moreover, this is very handy, tiny and light camera that you can carry in your pocket without feeling it.

Menus and settings are very easy and clear. Some tips appear on the screen when you are using different modes, it is very helpful.

The picture is PERFECT! I took some really amazing shots with this camera - they were awesome! I highly recommend if you are looking for a small, amazing camera that you purchase this one.

Good luck!

Go to the vendors that you'll find here and you can find more colors there:

Here is a pink Canon SD1100 with optical image stabilization, for $205, just $5 over your budget, but an EXCELLENT camera that you will be very happy with.

I highly recommend it.

Amazon is very reputable, and is offering free shipping if you can stand to wait a few days.  Otherwise pay a few bucks for 2 day delivery.  Or see if your local Target or Best Buy or Circuit City has it in stock.

-----------------------

The A590 (post below) is a great camera too.  But it has the larger body size.  Also, that kit is not sold by Amazon directly, but by Cameta.  Not sure what that means for returns or warranty...
