What is a good camera under $125

I'm looking for a good camera that I can use to take photos of computers/laptops I sell both locally and online. I currently have a Kodak Z812 IS and it sucks down batteries like Kool-Aid. I bought the clic battery and it stopped charging after about a month.

Oh, by under $125 I also mean a camera that sells for alot more than $125 but I could possibly find a good used one for $125.

Thanks
 
I choose the Canon A590is. Picture quality is really, really good, but the reason I picked it was that it has the eye-level viewfinder that is getting to be really rare these days.
 
Taking good product pictures has a lot less to do with the camera, and a lot more do to with good lighting.

Before getting a new camera, buy or build yourself a lightbox.

Then pick up a mini/table-top tripod; a knock-off Gorillapod will work fine, but there are tons of options on the market right now (all under $30).

Finally, get yourself a decent camera. Canon's A590IS, Sony's W120 (or W220), Panasonic's LZ8, will all work great, and are all $125 or less. But notice how the camera is the least important of the three items I mentioned. If all I had was your Kodak Z812 IS with a DIY lightbox and a small tripod, and all you had was a $400 Canon G10, I could still take better product photos than you.
