I need digital camera suggestions....I'm looking for a camera (not too snazzy) for just basic purposes.

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Nov 4 '09, 09:45

Looking to spend $100-150 at the most

A lot of usage will be ebay pictures of merchandise and then standard usage, ya know gatherings and such.

I would prefer something reasonably sized, I'm not looking for a full-sized tripod-type camera.
