OK, i am looking for help in deciding on a digital camera to buy. Heres what im looking for, i want at least 3x optical zoom, no less than 5 megapixels, i want it SLIM, good battery life (and preferably a charger that plugs directly in wall and you place battery into, or you just plug charger directly into the camera, **This detail isnt that big of a deal**) good photo quality, this isnt for professional photographs, i want a camera to take to college. Ones ive been looking at so far are the Canon Powershot SD450 and Casio Exilim Z60. With canon, ive heard a lot about a E18 error, and the casio doesnt have a viewfinder which i heard is hard outside cuz screen is hard to see. any opinions or new cameras to suggest?

I love my camera. It is a Kodak Easyshare and you can buy the rechargable battery unit to go with it for $30 i think. The model is c530. It is pretty slim, has zoom and the functions are improved from the Easyshare's earlier versions. I loved my first one, but it was 3 years old, so this new, easier to use and smaller camera is great. It is 5 megapixles too. Takes good pictures inside and outside and takes 30 second videos.Easyshare software is easy to use and you can send your prints to their website where they print them and mail them to you, you dont even need to go to the store!
here's manufacturer's page:

Of those, I would choose none.
Here is the best consumer grade camera on the market for less than $400. SONY DSC-P200.
I have had several digital cameras and finally bit the bullet to get a SONY even though it was more expensive. I got 512MB Memory with it. The camera is fantastic. It has a rechargable Lithium Battery, so you don't have to buy batteries every couple of days. It can take hundreds of pictures at 3-5 MB. It takes video.
Super.
Hope this helps.

Casio Exilim is based on great quality good battery and sleek design without breaking your bank. Its affordable and recommend you take a look at them. Some start at $250 and up. I would go for that or for quality with a little more weight the Panasonic Lz3

Try a Cybershot T camera from Sony. It's slim, has a rechargeble battery, has 3x zoom, and I think it has 5 megapixels (On one Cybershot T model at least)

I personally have a Kodak easy share camera with printer dock. It is easy to use, has GREAT picture quality, and you can print your own pictures in 10 seconds!! So look into it -see what you think. I bought mine off of eBay for $200!!

Look at Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01-S, because of the Leica lenses it is a very good camera.
