Ha ha you sound like me! I'm broke too and cuteness definitely played a major role in my camera decision. I got the Nikon S4000 in pink and I looove it. It's super cute and touchscreen. I got mine for $130 on Black Friday, but Best Buy has it for $118.99 right now with free shipping!

I read the reviews on the other colors before I bought mine bc the pink one doesn't have too many. Also, do you happen to know anyone that works in an electronic store at all? My brother is the manager of Best Buy here so I always have him buy my stuff when buying something that's kind of expensive so I can get his employee discount. You can always do that so you can get a good camera at a cheaper price
Good luck!
