For about 2 hundred dollars more u can get a dslr at best buy

[Nedaaaah]

true but it depends if you want a point n shoot or if you want dslr. out of those three id go with the sony, i think walmart has a sale going on this weekend for a pretty good 8mp canon.

there were a couple slr's for even less than that at walmart, but i don't wanna mess with removing lens and such....just wanna point and shoot like Neduh said.

Go with either a Canon or Nikon, IMO those look kind of low quality.

[underOATH]

Id say go with Canon or Nikon as well. but out of those 3, id say the sony. Im not big on kodaks at all, and the sony has a good combo of optical zoom, and megapixels...

But IDK, Im a DSLR guy myself, I have a nikon D50 im in <3 with :)

[honduh_head]

well i didn't want to spend more than $250 on a camera cuz i have to invest money into other things right now...but using these regular digicams that i have at the house just bug the shit out of me cuz the picture quality sucks....i think i might go with the sony, even though IMO the fuji is prolly the best deal out of the three.

Overview for the Sony... (i'm not impressed at all)

CONCLUSIONS

The images produced by the Sony Cyber-shot H10 can be stunning. This is largely a testament to the fine lens used.
However, the overall package detracts from the ability to seamlessly use this camera as an extension of my eye. This is a factor of both form and function. It is not a camera that feels sure in the hand; the finish smoothness certainly contributes to this as does the lack of an optical finder. The menus are tedious. A simple, frequent operation such as changing the ISO or setting exposure compensation is a multi-step process.

Overall, with such a great lens, other concerns and shortcomings with the H10 make themselves that much more apparent.

Pros:

* Lens quality
* 10x optical zoom
* Relatively fast in action mode
* Override settings not always present on point-and-shoot cameras

Cons:

* No optical finder; LCD practically unusable outdoors
* Manual mode unnecessary as implemented
* Macro mode focus fussiness
* Menu system

If your going to stick to those three choices go with the sony. I personally love Nikon.

[Neebs]

Neither. I'd go for a Canon as a P&S.

its not an option...

send me a link of what you are thinking though and i will take a look

[Element Motorsport]

Had a Sony and it wasn't that great. Canon for sure, the SD750 or SD1000 should be in your price range and are both great cameras.

Good choice with the Cannon. I worked at Office Depot and Cannons by far had the lowest return rates and highest customer satisfaction, followed by Kodak.
