I'm looking for an easy to use, quick shutter speed (is that what its called when you want to take 1 pic right after another with no lag?), and not too expensive camera. I'm looking in the $200-$300 range. Must take great pics! I'm sick of the quality with my fujifilm. Any suggestions?
Canon Powershot D10! It's awesome I'm saving for one now! It's a waterproof camera. I was on Youtube and a guy was taping going down a waterslide at a Disney hotel and that was the camera he had. Great image quality.
Stefanie, that's exactly the one I was looking at but I'm so scared! LOL The only thing I heard about it that I don't like is the zoom isn't so hot. Oh, and I hate that it runs on batteries.
The last few cameras I've had you can charge up which I've fallen in love with, less money spent on batteries and I don't need to worry about carrying extras around. I'm torn.
Yay for rechargeable battery! I'm wondering if the zoom is better then the camera I have. If it's better than what I'm currently use to then I don't care. I want to head to Walmart now! LOL

Thanks Stephanie!
I have 5x zoom and i never even go that far with it. The pics come out kinda grainy. I have been researching this for a while now. It is pretty comparable to other point & shoots for the zoom. Like I said just youtube it. It does pretty cool stuff. It even has color effects like the one in Princess Sharon's TR. I see you are also a Phillies/Eagles fan we live in DE so thats our team as well. (actually I'm a Stealer's girl just dont say that to DH)

LOL! Yep, my avatar is one of my tattoos I also have the red Phillies that is worn on their uniforms and I have the black & white HK (for Harry Kalas) that the guys wore when he died during the 2009 season. I'm a bit obsessive about baseball! I'll excuse the Stealers love in you!!
So I just got home from Walmart... guess what they DIDN'T have. I'm so PO because I was going to buy the D10 tonight!
Oh well, got a bunch of other stuff for our trip. Guess I'll have to try Target this week sometime.
I have this camera as well as a DSLR. There really is not comparison between a point and shoot and a DSLR. A DSLR is superior in every way. I keep this little Canon in my purse for those shots I would have missed otherwise as it's better than any photo a phone is going to take. The zoom is decent, the features are nice and 95% of the time I'm happy with it's results. It is a bit bulky compared to other point and shoots. While the Walmarts of the world do have better pricing, I always say before any purchase of a camera, go to a camera shop where the sales staff truly know the merchandise and play around with the camera. You can always go save the couple of bucks at Walmart or wherever later.

Isnt a DSLR much more expensive? She said she was looking between $200 & $300 I mean if you have $550 by all means get the Canon EOS Rebel XS Digital SLR Camera. Also if you arent as good with manual settings what do you do? Is there a point and shoot or automatic setting for a DSLR?
I have never been disappointed with my Canon. Had an older model (A400?) still worked perfectly fine, just outdated. Wanted to get a new one in March with more megapixels. I let the salesman talk me into a Sony Cybershot - BIG mistake. We took it on DD's Make A Wish trip and about half of the pics came out blurry. So I returned it and got a Canon instead. The one I got still runs on AA batteries but it had a 6x optical zoom which was better than anything else in that price range. Takes great pics - totally satisfied. I'd say you can't go wrong with a Canon.

What kind did you get? I was talked into the Cyber Shot and took it back as well they were blurry. I got a Nikon P60 but it takes forever to take pics I hate it! The quality is good when I can get it to work!

It's the A2000 IS. I got it right before the new models came out so I got a great deal on it. The only problem is that there is a long lag time between photos when you are using the flash. I'd rather that than blurry photos though
