Camera help please!

[caseysmom]

My daugher has asked for a camera for Christmas. She would like a small put in your purse size camera. I have been looking at the canon's on costco.com and they range from 100 to 300. I don't really understand the differences. Mostly it looks like image stabilization.

I would like to spend under 300. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Good reviews, and I've used one of these cameras before.

Thank you that is available at costco also. I can earn my rewards.

Hey mom, what am I getting?

Just kidding, but anyway - I have a Nikon Coolpix ...something forgot the dang number. But anyway - I've dropped it so many times but it's still in pretty good shape and it still takes great pix So, I like how Nikon lasts. My Canon lasted really good too and my Pentax was a GREAT camera but broke less then a year after I got it through no fault of my own.

Canon or Nikon definitely would be my first choice of brands.

You have enough cameras! I will get you something else!

I have a Cannon Power shot and I LOVE it! Small enough to go in a purse or pocket, takes great pictures and video and wasn't $200!
