    Question Please tell me What and Why?

    Several months ago, I dropped and broke my digital camera. Which I never 'really' liked anyway. But it was my only way of photographing the kids, as we just never take professional photos. So, now I am in the market for a new one, but I want to make a good and informed decision. Here's what I want in a camera:
    *No Shutter Delay or minimal at best. (my last one took several seconds)
    *Quick Next Shot
    *Good quality photos
    *Priced $150ish and under

    Recommend to me, OR tell me what you have and if you like/dislike and why.
    Thank you for your time!

    For one that is easy I would say a photosmart. If your looking for something that is durable It would be a GE they have 2 or 3 models that have less than a second delay. If you want any advice on certian models just ask. I work in an electronics department of our store.

    I have a GE and love it! I previously had a Sony Cybershot (loved that one too) and a HP (HATED that one!). I like the GE the best though. It takes great pics and is so easy to use.

    I think I got my 8.1 GE for under $70 with rebates about 8 months ago

    You will pay a premium for shutter speed, I think.
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    I've been researching digital cameras since before Christmas as mine is on it's last leg!

    This is the one I have finally decided on. It looks great and I found alot of great reviews on it. Can't give you my personal opinion yet, as I haven't ordered it yet. The price has been jumping around, and I've seen it go as low as $159. So I am waiting for the price to go down again, then I will order it!
