not looking for a miracle or anything.. just a fairly reliable point and shoot that takes standard batteries and lasts for a reasonable amount of time (say 2+ yrs). Optical image stabilization would be nice.. and I'm thinking I'd be willing to trade megapixels for it to keep the cost down.

I got a Nikon that was on sale last year for $99. Can't remember the model #, I'll have to look for it

-- I'll post again if I find it. The kids are happy enough with it, and my teen takes it to camping trips.

I always like Canon. I got a Canon Powershot for around $100 several months ago after my more expensive Canon died. I really liked my old one, but it had so many bells and whistles I never learned how to use, so I decided to try a cheaper model this time.

I also have a Nikon ~ got it on sale a couple of months ago, for about $100 +/-. Hated it, hated it, hated it. Took horrible, terrible, just dreadful pictures. I was going to return it to the store, with a fistful of "this camera is the worst", then took a moment, read the owners manual, made a couple minor adjustments (um, changed settings to "auto")

, and viola. I love it, love it, love it.
