Any Photogs Here?

[MissMusic]

I'm looking for a new point & shoot camera, nothing too fancy, and preferably under $125 or even $150.  I figure Black Friday (online, eff the stores!) is a good place to get a deal, so I need to start looking.

Can anyone give me a recommendation, or even what NOT to buy?

I have a my nice camera but I have a point and shoot for days at baseball games or things like that.

I have a canon power shot A2500. DH got it for me one Christmas and said he got it around Black Friday. Says it was less than $150. Nice pictures and easy to use.

They probably have an updated version now.

Not a photographer and no nice camera, but we have an old canon powershot that still works great and takes nice pictures. I got it during Black Friday 7 or 8 years ago I think.

I used to have a Nikon Coolpix. It worked great for just taking along everywhere. I think they run about $150 or so.

And then cell phones had good cameras, so it was basically rendered useless.

+1 for canon powershot line. I have one from 4 years ago and it still works great.

You really can't go wrong with a Nikon on Canon.

I loved my canon power shot

we have a Nikon Coolpix too and it takes great pictures, very clear, and easy to use.

The one we have I think is a bit more expensive than $150, but they have the series that is less cost and still great pictures.  Many have video feature too.

I used to love Olympus but the last two we got have had issues. They worked great at first and then started taking fuzzy images or had lines across the screen. There were around the $150-200 range so not terribly expensive but I wanted them to last longer. I am looking to get a,new camera but will probably wait till next year.
