I've just had the sony cyber shot model number dsc-p200,its very easy to use it has 7.2 mega pixels and 3.0x zoom,it has a rechargeable battery which lasts ages when fully charged.Before i had an Olympus one which took 2 AAA batteries,i spent £5.99 on proper digital camera batteries from sainsburys and i took about 10 photos and they ran out,so i took the batteries back and got them changed and the same happened again,so i had the camera exchanged and it still happened,i then had my sony one and its fantastic,it even has a display on the LCD screen telling you how long the battery will last till it needs charging up.it also has a metal casing not plastic like a lot of cameras,It cost me £200.00 but I'm sure if you look on the Internet you'll get it cheaper.Ignore what anyone says go get one if you can afford to.you'll save a fortune on batteries in the long run,hope I've answered your question good enough

I recently bought a Panasonic DMCLZ5 (158.24 - Dixons online). Can't fault it ! 6MP with 6 x Optical zoom, average camera in this price range has only 3 x optical zoom. It also has movie feature with 30 frames per second and a Mega optical image stabilizer which is excellent if your a bit shaky when shooting photos or when using the full zoom. There are endless features on there if you need them but if not you can switch to easy mode and the menus / functions are reduced down to make things childs play.

It really depends on a couple of things:
1 - what are you going to use it for?
2 - what is your experience with cameras like?

Kodak Easy Share is a good one to learn with and not expensive either.
