Probably Rent-a-Center. They have a rent to buy option in which you pay weekly until you can pay it off. They have great stuff, including awesome digital cameras!

Avoid the Rent-to-own stores, as they charge full retail with very high interest rates. You'll end up paying about double the price for your camera.
Two points. Establishing credit is a long and difficult journey. If you've ever had a check cashing card, then getting a credit card is easier. Have you ever bought anything on credit? Do you have a steady job and how long have you been working there? If you have no credit and no steady job history, then getting a camera on a payment plan will be difficult. The smaller the payments, the longer the debt and the higher the total. That's the law of consumer credit.
Secondly, why are you asking about a 10mp camera? I shoot professionally with several 6mp cameras and don't do too badly. Several of my cameras were from Ebay or Craigslist, and were much less expensive than a new, top-of-the-line model.
Can they take good pictures? I'll let you be the judge here.

Post a "wanted" ad in your local Craigslist. You might be surprised at how many photographers out there have older, well maintained digital cameras looking for new homes. And, you can negotiate personally for a payment plan.
I hope this is helpful.

Do yourself a big favor and don't fool with stores like rent-a-center. You'll pay through the nose and then some. There's no such thing as you have to have a camera right a way. Put money aside each week preferably where it's hard to get at to spend.
You'll be much better off.
There are very decent cameras in the $150 to $180 range. Check out the Canons.
What's with the 10 megapixel camera. I have a Sony at 6 megapixels that gives me an excellent 8X10 print.
I don't know if stores like Best Buy, Circuit City or Target have lay-ways but that would be fine.

there is shutter speed (a million/5 hundredth of a 2nd, a million/a thousandth of a 2nd, and so on.) and there is shutter lag. you're speaking approximately shutter lag. All compact digital camera have shutter lag, some basically better than others. to sidestep it you may spend the money for a DSLR digital camera. link under and keep in mind you will additionally could purchase a lens.

Why don't you get a low interest credit card and then pay off the card slowly. Its gonna be a lot cheaper in total than some rent to buy deal you will get elsewhere.

My sister just bought a 10.1 megapixels camera like a month ago at circuit city. Its all black and very slim and nice. It has touchscreen buttons on the back. Takes extremely good pictures and she is paying it off in payments. It cost about 299.99.

this wont help you now, but, if you join your local credit union after a month of saving you can borrow upto 3x whats in your account. and they charge 1% a month interest.
i have to ask, as im a professional photographer and i only use an 8mp olympus e500, so why 10mp... if its got a lens made out of recycled jam jars, and a meter from a 1981 zenith,, then believev me, it just wont cut it, and it WILL break... save your cash and wait till after christmas wne everythng is cheap... and if you open a credit union account yu ll have plent of money...

Curry's offer a payment plan called simply 10. You pay 10% deposit followed by 10 monthly installments. For instance a camera that cost £100.00, you pay £10.00, take it home then pay £10.00 installments over 10 months

Maybe you could put one on layaway at a camera store or Circuit City or Best Buy. Something to think about.
