What is a good point and shoot type camera for around $200?

Question by legin: What is a good point and shoot type camera for around 0?
I'm look to buy a camera for my best friend's birthday and a camera was one of the things she is looking for so I was wondering what a good point and shoot camera was.

Requirements:
NOT pink
Fairly large screen
Not too bulky

Also, for those of you who don't know what "point and shoot" means, it means that all you do is point the camera at your subject and shoot the picture, no real manual adjustments like the professional cameras.

I want to buy a Sony Cybershot point-and-shoot camera for around £100, help?

Question by Starstruck: I want to buy a Sony Cybershot point-and-shoot camera for around £100, help?
Sony Cybershots have never let me down in the past, so as a thank you to Sony I wanna purchase a new point-and-shoot camera. My knowledge of them are minimal, except that they've given me exceptionally good shots in the past. A few questions:

1. Which is the best value for money?
2. Is it worth waiting for a new model to come out?
3. What are the ones to avoid?

I would recommend the Cybershot W330. great camera, great quick focus with clean, soft picture.
Another great camera is the Cybershot W350- they're both a little over you're budget.. right around $ 120-150 . The W350 also has the panoramic setting where you can take a picture of a larger area for scenic picures.

Both are great camera's for the price, but if you have a little more money to spend and still want a point and shoot i would recommend the Panasonic Lumix ZS5 or ZS7. They hand around the $ 230-270. I do like the sony's though.

I want a very good point and shoot digital camera. I need image stabilizer or equivalent ,take sharp photos with a rechargeable battery. Also a good view finder.

A good viewfinder is hard to find these days, since few of the cheaper cameras have eye-level finders. Beyond that, every manufacturer would hope to fulfil your criteria from about £120 upwards.
