I am looking for a semi-cheap (less than $150) digital camera that takes really crisp/clear pictures, has a nice size LCD screen, and is just a reliable camera. Any suggestions?

I just got a Samsung S730 from my local Circuit City for 130 bucks. 7.1 megapixels, big screen. Tons of features. Have fun!

Even though I personally own this ultra compact camera, I would still like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 for the following reasons:
1. Besides taking well-exposed hi-quality 5 megapixel pictures, it uses a standard set of rechargeable double AA batteries which last a very long time;
2. Has a 3x optical zoom;
3. Takes "continuous" 2 frames per second "action/sports" images;
4. Has macro feature for close-ups of small objects focused under 6 inches;
5. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
6. It's very small and light;
7. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards - a 2 gig card sells for $19 at samys.com;
8. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
9. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
10. Has tripod mount on bottom of camera;
11. And the price is a mere $119 [sold at Samy's Camera - samys.com, and Staples.com.]

Good luck!

I loved it for my new camera purchase. I got a better deal than at the local stores AND was able to buy a bundle of goodies (at a discount) and it came to my door in 3 business days!

I like the Kodak Easy Share because like the name says: It's easy to take pics and edit and share! My husband bought a Sony, which is nice, but confusing to me (I am NOT a photographer).
