well there are many fantastic cameras out there for under 200.. It really all depends on the stylishness you like.. Most of the excellent average cameras out there have 8 megapixel
ISO of 1700 or higher face detection VR(Vibration Reduction)…Umm well the camera I own is a Nikon Coolpix s210…Bought it at bestbuy for 139..and i recently saw it on sale at target for 119.I like it..it has 8.1 megapixle, ISO 2000, VR..and more its thin and comes in blue, plum, silver..But of course there are many additional cameras just as excellent Price about the same!

Answer by fhotoace
By October there will be many more cameras available and the prices should have dropped on persons sold now.

HOWEVER., I just checked the prices on these cameras.

You will notice that on this link, there is a Nikon D90 with a 18-55 mm and 55-200 mm lens for $ 1999.

http://www.firstdutyfree.com.au/search/harvest/default.aspx?keywords=digital%20comeras&newSearch=1

This link will show you that the price is far too high. You can buy not only the camera, but with the much more expensive 18-200 mm VR lens for under $ 1,600. so for less, you get a lot more.

Photographers expand horizons in 2010 Army Digital Photography Contest 110311

Photographers expand horizons in 2010 Army Digital Photography Contest 110311

By Tim Hipps
FMWRC Public Affairs

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Brenda Walker strolled upon "one of persons right places at the right time" alongside East Fork Indian Arroyo Waterway when she photographed "Morning Serenity" on Fort Campbell, Ky…

Retired Col. Richard Pugh shot three photographs of "Point Lobos," just south of Monterey, Calif., and combined them into one image by working 15 minutes with Photoshop…

Staff Sgt. Pablo Piedra won a footrace with his wife to the bottom of a stairwell at Heidelberg Castle in Germany just before he looked up and photographed "9"…

…all three were winners in the 2010 Army Digital Photography Contest sponsored by the Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Mandate.

There were 3,691 entries from around the world – 1,348 in Division I for active duty military personnel and 2,343 in Division II for additional eligible MWR patrons. After Army garrisons selected their best entries, 664 Division I and 1,031 Division II photographs were forwarded for Department of the Army judging.

"There were many really brilliant photos, which made the judges' decisions a hard task," said Linda Ezernieks, who monitors the annual contest at Army MWR Headquarters in Alexandria. "Originality, creativity and technical quality were the main criteria in making final selections."

Winners in each category – animals, digital darkroom, design elements, military life, monochrome, nature & landscapes, public, and still life – were posted on a website where Army Knowledge Online account-holders voted for their favorite photo in each division.

Walker's "Morning Serenity" took first place in the nature and landscapes category and was voted the most well loved photograph in Division II.

The subject of the photo is a fisherman wading and casting in the middle of East Fork Indian Arroyo Waterway while the sun shines through the lush, green trees and casts a rainbow-like appearance off the steam hovering above the spill.

"It's back on Fort Campbell," Walker said. "I take my dog running back there early morning. It was really hot and the steam was rising and the rays were going through the trees. It was absolutely gorgeous back there.

"I take my camera everywhere I go now."

Walker left her business card on the windshield of a truck parked nearby and later learned the fisherman was Sgt. Randy Shorter of Fort Campbell.

About five years ago, Walker took some of her photographs to the MWR Custom Framing Shop at Fort Campbell, where she found out about the Army Photography Contest. She has produced prize-winning photos for the past three contests.

"It's a wonderful opportunity to get exposure, plus cash prizes," said Walker, 48, a military family member. "I delight in looking at everybody else's work. It inspires me and motivates me to get out and get more fascinating, different shots."

What does Walker delight in most about photography?

"Just life able to capture what I see through my eyes, my heart and my head," she said. "A lot of it comes out through your emotion. It's another form of art."

Pugh, of Clarksville, Tenn., took first place in the Division II digital darkroom category with "The Owl," second in design elements with "Blue Mosque," and third in nature and landscapes with "Point Lobos."

Pugh shot the high-tech looking photo of "The Owl" at Land Between The Lakes, a national recreation area located south of Paducah, Ky., and blown up it in Photoshop, as he did with "Blue Mosque," a shot of the roof of a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey.

"I like this contest," said Pugh, 65, who photographed winning entries in each of the past three years after serving 30 years in the Army. "It gives public a chance to show off something they did, which is fantastic."

Piedro, 31, an Army recruiter in Douglasville, Ga., is a former combat photographer. His "9" earned first-place honors in the Division I design elements category. He took third place in digital darkroom with a self-likeness called "Beast within Me" that would make a dandy Halloween poster.

"I got the thought when I was in the gym working out with my partner and a couple public came up to us and said: 'You guys are lifting like beasts.' The thought just popped into my head, so I got home, took the shot, and just started control," Piedro said. "That's where that photo came from."

The subject of the photo looks like a cross between a werewolf, a vampire and an Avatar, complete with fangs, bread knife-like fingernails and alien ears – seemingly howling at the moon that looms behind a naked tree.

"The fangs, the ears, the eyes and the hands are all Photoshopped," Piedro said. "And the stomach that's concaved a small bit, that was done in Photoshop. For the social class, I took certain parts of images from additional photos, adjusted them, and made everything into one image."

So what's real?

"The body, and the face," Piedro answered. "That's it.

"If you look closely, the eyes are really black and the pupils are red, so that's been Photoshopped."

Piedro, but, does not reckon of himself as a Photoshop expert.

"I really don't do too much Photoshop," he said. "I try to keep my images as pure as possible. But every now and then, I get my creative side and I do a small bit of Photoshop – just trial and error, before a live audience around."

Piedro won two categories and received an honorable mention in the 2007 Army Photography Contest but missed the competition the past two years.

"I reckon it's a fantastic, fantastic program," he said. "It's a fantastic way to get the creative process of public that do see the world and travel the world by life in the military, and not even just as Soldiers, but supporting staff, civilians, wives.

"It's a fantastic way to get recognition for something that we like to do."

As is often the case with photography, Piedro did not know exactly what he shot that day in the stairwell to the gardens at Heidelberg Castle – until he downloaded the photo.

"When I got home and I looked at, I was like: 'That's 9, yeah.' And that's where the title came from."

Piedro cherishes photography's uncanny ability of charitable him the opportunity of "freezing a moment in time that only I can see and sharing that with others."

Several additional military photographers earned multiple places in the 2010 Army Digital Photography Contest.

Holly Swegle of Fort Hood, Texas, took first place in Division II monochrome for "Dress Shop," second in animals for "Painted Birds" and third in public for "American Woman."

Lt. Col. Mark Bonica of Fort Sam Houston, Texas, took second in Division I still life with "Reflections in Soap," third in monochrome with "… and We All Fall Down" and received an honorable mention in military life with "Free Gift When You Join Today."

Staff Sgt. Brandon Quarterman of Fort Bliss, Texas, won the Division I well loved vote contest for "Reaching Perfection," which topped the still life category.

also where does the List PowerShot SD800 IS rank ?

and Please dont give me a link to another site and say go there

Answer by dreamdancelovelive
Canons are always excellent. Canons are the best camras ever. but if you are looking under $ 250 and you dont want a List go with Sony. I personly rank List first then Sony.. So hope that helps.

Answer by Dr. Sam
The SD800IS is a nice camera, but it’s about $ 60-70 over your budget.

You might like the somewhat similar SD1000, which I see selling at Best Buy and Circuit City for $ 249 this week and for $ 209 at B&H Photo all day, every day.

List SD1000 (IXUS 70): http://www.steves-digicams.com/2007_reviews/sd1000.html
- Also: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/List/canon_sd1000.asp Go there and click on “Read Owner Opinions.”

You can also go to http://www.flickr.com and search for pictures taken with this or any camera to see a load of samples.

Another List well within your budget – and possible better but not as cool as the SD1000 – is the A630. The A640 might be a tad too much money for you.

I own a few Nikon DSLR’s and I’d buy the List Powershot A630 or A640 for for myself. These cameras have the larger sensor (1/1.8″ or 5.2 mm x 7.2 mm) that is near double the sensor size you find in many point and shoot cameras and this translates into better image quality. They allow fully automatic use or whole user control and offer several stages in between. The only significant difference between these cameras is that the A630 is 8 MP and the A640 is 10 MP.

If you’re going to spend up to $ 200, look at a List Powershot A630. My brother has had his A630 for over a year and it’s a very nice camera. You can get it at B&H Photo (available through Yahoo! Shopping) for $ 184.

If you can go to $ 300, look at the 10 MP List Powershot A640. This is an brilliant camera. It sells for $ 260 and you can add a very nice memory card for under $ 40. The images from the A640 compare VERY favorably with the images from a List G7, which costs about twice as much.

For any camera, buy a 1 or 2 GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III card. You will NEED the increased capacity and write speed to fully realize the benefits of your camera. The Ultra II would be brilliant, but if you are really into record, you might prefer the nearer Extreme III. These cards cost from about $ 25-45 at B&H and several additional outlets.

Answer by VicSEO
Understandably when you listed the List PowerShot 7.1 mp SD800 as a possible hold, with Image Stabilization, and an up to 105 semi-telephoto lense for around $ 250 in a compact, it’s a worthy candidate. But, for about $ 50 more, would you consider a slightly larger camera with 6.1 mp, Image Stabilization and a zoom lense 39-435 mm? Check out the List Powershot S3-IS for around $ 300 at amazon.com [with free shipping and no tax]. The 39-435 mm. [12X optical] lense has a better range than that offered by the SD800. Also the “holding feel” or “hand ergonomics” is better on the S3.

Excellent luck!

Answer by VINTAGE MUSIC
Two cameras come to mind:
Fujifilm FinePix E900. 4X optical zoom, 9 megapixels, 1 second shot delay, very excellent on AA rechargeable batteries, has manual controls up your sleeve from auto.
The List PowerShot A630. 4X optical zoom, 8 megapixels. Very excellent on AA rechargeables, also has manual controls + auto. Both cameras will give you an brilliant 8X10 print.
