Many stores have the A540 for $170. Add a decent memory card and you're still under budget.

Answer 2

American Digital Cameras lag behind Japanese cameras in many ways and Japanese lag behind in American cameras in different ways. I still would recommond a Japanese camera over a American camera just because Japanese camera companies have a generally good history of quality unlike American companies. Kodak really lags behind in quality and style. Sony is a good choice but they are not the best cameras at that low of a price range. The Canon A630 is a great camera. I have its lil brother that takes excellent pictures in both day light and dark pictures. (The noise or grain on pictures are acutally pretty decent for a camera that cheap)

Answer 3

I've always had really good results with Canon cameras, even low MP ones. I think the sensors in them are better than a lot of cameras, so in auto mode your point and shoot pictures come out better than with some other brands. The number of pixels isn't everything!
