Copied from the Budget Board: Let's talk digital cameras

[4Seasons]

My digital camera that I loved died while in Hershey a couple weeks ago, officially 4 days after the warranty expired. Thank goodness for my AMEX because their buyers assurance reimbursed me, so now I'm on the hunt for another one.

I need recommendations. My 3 basic requirements are:
takes decent quality pics, especially in low light
has some type of "stabilization" (I have a knack for taking blurry pics)
$150 or under

So what do you have and how do you like it?

Nikon has good cameras under 150.00 dollars. Check out the coolpix cameras by Nikon. I know have Nikon coolpix 4 pixels still takes excellent pictures.

Last week I know seen Canon camera for under 150.00 dollars to.

I got the Nikon coolpix L18, 8 megapixel, anti-shake, 3" LCD screen at Sam's Club for around $135. I especially like the fact that it takes AA batteries, so I use the Energizer rechargeable ones which seem to last a long time!

One of the best cameras I got about 6 months ago is the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 Digital Camera. If you want to take great video this is the camera you want.
