Mr. Nobody
I want to buy a camera, but have trouble deciding which one to buy as there are so many to choose from. To start off this will be my first digital camera, even though i didnt have a camera before i still find photography to be one of the most interesting things in life and i see myself spending a lot of time taking pictures and carrying the camera almost everywhere, so the camera should be compact, i dont want to spend loads of money, so it should be around $400 better if less, but i guess i could spend more. As i am not a pro so i dont want all the special features. I consider myself good with technology, so it doesnt matter if the interface is difficult to get used to and i find taking extraordenary pictures more fun, eg Light Graffiti pictures etc.. I would also prefer the camera to be durable so i wouldnt have to worry everytime something unexpected happens, also waterproof feature would be uselful, but thats not nessecary. Thanks
As its an investment i guess i could spend more.. Even up to $600, but no more!

let me start by saying a couple years ago I got a Nikon Coolpix and it is the worst camera I have ever had the displeasure of using. Whatever you do dont go with the coolpixs.
if you want to get into photography as an art I would actually suggest an SLR camera, but they are not compact, they are rather large and will not fit in your pocket.
Here is a camera that has features like an SLR camera but is not accually a single lens reflex camera:
Canon G9.
It might set you back about 500 bucks BUT. . .
It gives you apiture and shutter speed priority. Those are easy concepts to understand if you want to learn the internet is loads of help. You can do a lot of pretty neet things just with knowing what the aperture size is before taking the shot. It also give you the option of using manual focus if you like that.
But if you dont want to mess with all that I would recommend a SONY. I would reccomend the DSC-T2. The T2 is cool because it has 4gigs of built in memory. I dont know about you but I would love to not need to deal with a separate memory card, I would love to just take shots and have them save into the built in camera hardware. If you dont care then I would say go with the:
SONY Cyber Shot DSC-W130.
Or if you want a little more power and a little bigger screen and are willing to spend some extra money on this the go with the DSC-W170. It just gives you a little more but it might take an extra 100 to get it.
So. . .
Canon G9
Sony cybershot DSC-W130
Sony cybershot DSC-W170
at bestbuy:
w170 is 300bucks
G9 is 500
at Ciruitcity:
W170 is 300 bucks
G9 is 500 minus another 30 or something.
At sonystyle.com:
w130 is 300bucks (i dont know why)
the W170 is 300bucks
the W300 is 350
and the T2 is 350
i hope that helps a little.
At least is gives you my opinion.
so yh thats about what you would pay.

A good, cheap and stylish digital camera?

I need a good compact camera for taking family pictures like on birthdays and occasions. I don't care about megapixels or optical zoom or waterproof as long as the camera quality is good. I want a good-looking camera and of a great brand. My budget is under $100. I would prefer a canon or Sony one but again it should be stylish and have good camera quality. If you have any suggestions please inform me, I'll be grateful.
I've considered to buy nikon coolpix L25. What do you think about that camera? It's good a low price and I wanted to know if it would give good images.
Answer
Actually there are no decent P&S cameras that cost $100 or less.
My guess is you will need to budget for $120 or better to get a camera that will do what you want.
Stylish is a whole different thing. Most people are either budget or performance driven when picking a camera. You have just added a new dimension.
