Most def. the Canon that Ash suggested. I have one as well, it is my second camera.

My older one was a FujiFilm finepix 1300 which is also goo, and probably at around $100 now. It took excellent pictures, but, I wanted a camera with the recording feature.

I've used all sort of camera -- Kodak, Sony, Fuji, Canon and tohers I forget the names.

Def. pick the Canon or Fuji over them all.
