Ive had a Nicon Coolpix 775 for a long time and it finally died on me. Looking to spend around 250 for a new one. I found a Kodak Z740 in that price range that a buddy of mine has that looks like a great camera but I know nothing about it or whats out that might be better for the same price. Thanks for any input.
 
If you like compact cameras, I HIGHLY recommend the Canon PowerShot SD400 or 450 if you can find it cheap enough. Should be able to pick it up for around $250.
 
What about the olypus SP 350? I have found it for around 200 after mail in rebates.

Ditto - I have the SD400, smaller than a credit card, awesome pics, 640 x 480 videos. It's so small I wear it everyday on my belt along with my cell phone. My only wish is that it had a better optical zoom.
 
Im thinking of going with the Canon A700... its just a hair out of my price range but ive read many good reviews on it.
 
Ended up with the Canon A530.. 162$ shipped. My old camera was 2.14MP and this one is 5MP so im sure ill notice a difference.
 
i'm looking at the same camera, please post your thoughts on it when you mess with it a while
 
camera isnt bad for the price.. 162$ and of course the package I got was 203$ shipped with a case, 512memory, and a cleaning kit or the lense. Takes alright pics but dont expect a lot for the price. Some pics I take are very grainy if taken in low light. I should have gotten the A540 or A700. Its really small so I have a feeling id like the SLR style better.
