Does anyone have good recommendations for my first digital camera? I'm looking for something I can point-and-shoot, with a decent zoom capability and longlasting battery life with ease of downloading, all for a reasonable (preferably under $200) price.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I have had 3 Sony Cyber-shots that have met my point-and-shoot needs. I think they can be picked up for less than $200.

DH's Nikon Coolpix takes better pictures than my Sony Cybershot (better focus, much richer colors), but that may be because it's a newer camera and nothing to do with the model.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My iPod Touch says that there are no movies on it...but I just synced it, and my computer says the movie is there...
Anyone else have this issue?
ETA: There was an update, and it totally solved my issue.

I have always been very fond of Canon cameras and have owned quite a few with no problems over the years.

I did a little poking around Consumer Reports ratings for digital cameras, and the Canon PowerShot A720IS 8MP with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom looks rather promising, especially since it's only $195 at Amazon. CR gave it a score of 75, which is decent for that low of a price.

I am eventually going to buy myself a Sony Cybershot DSCW55. Yes, in pink. It's gotten good reviews, it's small (which is what I'm looking for, because I want to cart it around in my purse), and hey! Pink!

Canon cameras are quiet good. I have had several and have the XTi on my "list of things to get".

I currently have the XTi and it is a great camera. I also have an SD500 that is quite small and takes great pictures. I had the A40 before that and it never gave me any problems.
