Best Digital Camera for Affordable Price?

[AkumaX]

Alright, I'm in the market for a digital camera now, just wondering exactly what would be best bang for buck? Price range is about $400-$500, $600 maybe, but cheaper is better . Anyways, things that I've been looking at were cameras like the Nikon Coolpix 950 ($729.95 - $100(coupon) - $150(rebate)= $479.95), the Sony Cybershot DSC-S70 ($799.99 - $165(PM) - $40(coupon) = $595.95), and the Kodak DC4800 ($599.95 - $100(coupon) = $499.95)

BTW, thanx for the people in Hot Deals to make these deals possible!

What kind of resolution are you looking for?

I managed to pick up a 1.1 MPixel Epson PhotoPC650 for $200 last year from PCMall.com

Lowest price on Pricewatch for that one is 264 $US plus shipping

I would get the Nikon Coolpix 950, the most features and performance bang for your buck.

the nikons are nice. check out the canon s100 or s10 as well though. and maybe nikon 880 or 800.

Nikon CoolPix 990 if you have the money.

Otherwise, go with the Canon PowerShot S10. I have an S10, and it rocks. The Canon G1 is the best camera available for under $1000, but it might be out of your price range.

How about a Toshiba PDR-M70 ? It has the same lens and CCR control as the Canon G1 and the performance is neck to neck with the G1. I heard that it's the most popular digicam in Japan. You can get it for about $550.

My 2.1 megapixel 1600X1200 max resolution Sony DSC-S50 works great for me. Got it for $ 459 off a search on CNET.
