The Canon Powershot A620 is a great camera for close to $250.... the screen is only 2 inches but it has a nifty swivel. It's very user-friendly.

You might also like the Fuji Finepix F30 or the Pentax Optio A10. Both have nice 2.5 inch LCDs and both offer auto settings for the beginner.

And, the other one we always mention to people as an excellent easy-to-use camera for cheap is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3. Bargain price, fun to use, quality images. Two-inch screen.

Definitely the F30. I've done tons of research on cameras but was in the same price range. For 250.00 (Butterfly Photo website) + 50.00 Fuji mail-in rebate = 200.00 plus: right now circuit city has a 2 gig card for 50.00. Quite the setup for 250.00.

Here you've got some cameras for less than 250 bucks:
* Kodak C875.
* Panasonic LZ5
* Olympus Stylus 740
* Pentax Optio A10
* Samsung L85
* Panasonic TZ1
* Nikon Coolpix L5
* Sony W70

Take a close look for each. But... I've like to say my own point of view: The best one, is the Panasonic because of the 10x optical zoom (with Leica lenses...), but it's also too big comparing it to the Nikon L5 that has a high quality lens of 5x. The Kodak also have 5x, but Nikon has the best Image procesor, so you may have better pictures. The Olympus is not bad, but you can have something better for that price. The Samsung is an excellent camera, with 5x and a bigger sensor, which will make higher quality pics (and bigger, with 8 mp).

So... buy the Panasonic if you don't care of the size. If not, the Nikon L5, or the Samsung.

Hope to be helpful,
Alan.
