Not sure what your needs/intentions are, but I just got my wife a Nikon Coolpix L18 for Christmas for $99 at Walmart.

Has a fair amount of user control and seemed solidly built. Takes a nice picture.

i'm looking for an everyday camera to snap pics of family, friends and my collectibles. i have a budget of $200. i've seen some nice canon digitals for around that price. looking mostly for a name brand. canon, nikon, minolta within the budget. thanks again...but no opinions please. (hoping asking for no opinions will yield many.) :laugh:

i used an SD800IS before i went full DSLR. my wife uses that camera now. it's nice and compact. takes pretty good pics too.
