I just got a Canon SD1000 Elph. The reviews are pretty good, and they’re on sale at BestBuy for only $149!!!!!!!!
Your absolute ceiling is $200.00? For a bit more, you could get a refurbished Nikon D70 or D70s, perhaps with a 28-80 lens or something similar.
Of course, if you can keep it out of the toddlers sticky little hands, it will last longer (c;
Replace the battery in your camera and send us some pix.
Pick this one up. It absolutely kicks all sorts of butt!

Less than 200 bucks. Does most everything.
Should be able to find it for $170 to $200.
Enjoy.
Holy crap! We just posted the exact same link.
How’s yours holding up?
8mp, 10x optical zoom, optical image stabilizer 239.00
Look at the Casio Exilim models on Amazon - I got one for about $200 and I like it a lot. It can’t match my Nikon D80, but it’s great to carry around in your pocket.
That’s also a great cam...the main difference between it and the Canon is the Canon has the much more desirable optical image stabilizer vs the digital.
The one thing I love about the Fujifilm S700 is the fact that the giant instruction manual is ALL IN ENGLISH!!
The thing does image stabilization, night shooting (Awesome!), text, natural, controls the intensity of the flash, has a timed delay, is VERY comfortable in the hand, and you can control all of the shutter speeds, aperture settings...
Here I am writing a book here. Sorry.
This camera just simply rocks.
Very small, but has a lot of custom features. It has good face recognition software for portraits. Get two batteries though as it uses them up quickly.
Also it takes the new SDHC cards which you can find up to 16 GB. The SDHC card I got for my SD1000 is 4 GB.
I liked my Kodak it had a rough life I banged it around all the time, it finely drown in apple juice. I donât know the current model numbers. The cradle that came with mine was really great for quick up loads. I found the Kodaks in general to be bigger and more durable. Last year I made decision to upgraded to a Pentax *ist DL. I find that most of my pictures could be taken with a camera 1/3 it’s price, the $200 range.

“So, I need a new camera. $200 top budget.”
I’m close to needing a camera in the same demographic.
I’ve not really researched yet, but I do think that Consumer Reports
had a review of best cameras (in differing categories) a few months back.
You might be able to access that at your local library.
