I'm all for the Canon's! - Anyone of them are good. The one I want rarely gets below $800 and then you have the buy the lenses too! Whew!

I have a CanonZR85 which is a video/still camera. I like it because it is small and I can be filming something and even snap a still shot while I am filming. We used it all the time when my daughter played sports and for her cheerleading/pom events. It doesn't have a flash though. It takes little tapes for the videos and a memory card for the pictures. You then, just use one cable and hook it straight into the computer to play your video, transfer to CD, view pictures, etc - super easy!

If you can get a good Canon for under $300 that is great! I am sure they have some good ones out there? I don't know though?

A friend gave my daughter a new Pentax Optio 50L camera last year. It is one that he uses (throws in a bag or in his back pocket) when he is travelling. It has a nice zoom and flash, a big view screen on the back and is easy to use. It is small too, so it fits in your pocket or purse, etc.

I had never used that brand before, but it takes some great pictures! --I use it too now. I believe it is 5 mega pixel. That might be something to look at?!
