Good, cheap digital camera

[Mamba]

Looking to pick up something by Black Friday. The Lady and I are going to NYC in January to visit my family, but also she's only been to NYC once and that was only for a day. I've never really been one to use anything other than a cellphone to take pictures, but I'd like to get a nice, cheap ($100-$150) camera for this trip. Any suggestions?

I've always found the Panasonic Lumix line good value for the money.

I have a lumix too (waterproof). its nice but the connector is proprietary while Canon uses Mini-USB. i'd maybe look for something with 1080 video.

This. We have 3 of them in the family.

What was your question? All I see is Kate Upton!

Out of your price range, but worth the extra $$ IMO. I have the S95 and love it. It takes amazing pics and video. By far the best pocket camera I've ever owned.
Good price - Used:
