I posted this on the budget board, hoping maybe you fellow Dis Shutterbugs might help me out!

Hey fellow Dis folks! So my Disney trip is quickly approaching and suddenly, out of nowhere, tragedy has befallen my digital camera. My Kodak Easyshare v550 digital camera took an untimely fall and is no longer.

So here I am, less that 20 days from my trip to WDW and without a quality digital camera. Therefore I call on you Dis Photo Board to help me out, as you always have, and help me find an affordable photographic option for my trip. I am looking for a relatively inexpensive digital camera with an lcd screen (so I can see my pics after I take them) and preferably using SD cards as storage (seeing as I have 2 already).

My budget is very tight, would prefer to stya around or below the $100 mark if possible. Used is an option...I just want something reliable that I can take good pics with...nothing super duper. Also, I guess time is a factor too, how quickly I can get it!

Appreciate any and all advice!

Cheers,
Jungle Josh
 
All I can add is,

Take the time to read a few reviews for any camera you are considering. Many quality camera reviews are on the net. I know of www.dpreview.com another is steves digicams. Hopefuly others will add more review site links. You can even skip to the summary page and also read the pros and cons to quickly narrow the search.

The A410 is a LOT of camera for $99 - but the price does reflect a $15 rebate (make sure it is valid). The thing is 3.2MP with a 3x zoom. The flash is only rated to 10' and the max ISO is just 200... and the image sensor is a tiny 1/3" size <gasp>.... so this camera has some real limitations built into it. But - if the rebate is good - delivery is free and it fits in just under $100~!

I quick glance around revealed no reviews (no surprise there) but cnet had 4 user postings (LOL) http://dpr-cnet.com.com/Canon_PowerShot_A410/4014-6501_9-31475449.html?pbrpt=4580&tag=nav.rev&cip=1
