I have a Canon Powershot A520. Easy to use, bought extra memory card that holds tons of pics. Has many settings, from kids & pets, to videos. Very easy to use. I got it as a present but I believe it was around 200.00, memory card extra. I use rechargeable batteries in it and they last a long time...I always have 2 extra charged up. This is just my 2 cents, I am sure there are better ones out there, but this one works for me
