Now we don’t need fumbling around in the thrill of the moment because you need to reload your camera. It became from the past working with rolls of film loading and reloading.

I've been very happy with it, good pictures easily in all kinds of conditions. Some low-res samples can be seen on the link from my name above. I paid $230, but it seems to have gone up since then. second the Canon Powershot A630, this is the Consumer Reports Best Buy in point-and-shoot digital cameras.

It provides decent automatic functions and a lot of control, has 8x zoom (which I absolutely love - I photograph for our yearbook, and zoom is awesome for crowds.) I liked my Powershot A400 but this is way better. Cost about $200. Grandparents have a higher-end Lumix, with nearly perfect focus and pretty accurate color. In the $400 range, but an awesome non-SLR camera_. Fujifilm S700/S5700, is way better for the beginning of the professional end.

Very nice, compact, 7.1 Megapixel camera. It goes from off to ready to shoot in about a second, which is pretty great. It's the one in those Maria Sharipova commercials. I think I got it for around $230 or so. I just bought the Canon SD750 for my wife. Very nice, compact, 7.1 Megapixel camera.

Not a pocket camera though! The Sony's are quite good. We are probably only about 18 months away from camera phones being good enough quality for web work, that would be one less device to carry!

After years of service from my Canon S200, it beat out the SD800 and SD1000 as a replacement because of it's fantastic lowlight performance. That said, they're kind of hard to find under $250 these days. I think once word got out about how great they are for indoor shots, they all got snapped up. Newer models (namely, the f40 and f50) seem inferior in lowlight, so the f31fd is rapidly shaping up to be a collector's item. I’ll second the Fujifilm F31fd.

I loved that it is small and rugged -- something I could toss in my pocket for a night out with friends. Unfortunately, the thing up and died one day with the infamous Canon E18 error. It's something to do with the lens failing to come out when turned on and has plagued so many Canon Digital Elph users that a class-action suit was almost filed against Canon over it (Google "Canon E18" for an idea of how big a problem this is). I use a Canon Digital Rebel XT for more professional work but am looking for a Canon alternative for my in-the-pocket camera. I used to use the Canon Powershot SD200 Digital Elph.

I also have a Sony Cybershot for a point and hope camera, and it is pretty reasonable. For “proper” stuff, I use a 5D and a 1D MkIII, the latter being superb.

It doesn't hurt that it's size of the Elph either. The web is so much about video now that it's nice to have an all-in-one that does a decent job at both tasks.
