Take a gander at the Fuji A-series (A101, A20x) of cameras. Most are fixed focus, but they take great pics and are under $150. The thing to really think about is what features you want.
I camp out on a couple of excellent sites for digi cam reviews and info:
<http://www.steves-digicams.com/> This site is more informal, but informative.
<http://dpreview.com/> This site is more "commercial" and is a wealth of info.
My current camera is an Olympus C-2100. It's "only" 2.1 MP, but it has a 10x optical zoom lens that comes in handy in my wildlife photography. I plan to get either a Fuji A101 or A202 sometime soon as a general purpose camera that I can carry in my bag at all times for those quick shots. By default, I've standardized on smart media. Compact Flash is "best" because that type of memory is more robust and comes in ridiculously large sizes (upwards of 1 GB; yes that's GB, not MB).

Hello,
I'd like some recomendations on a digital camera in the $200.00 range. There are so many, and the things to look for are so different from a conventional camera. My biggest problem may be a USB port. My G3-mt does not have a built in port. I have a USB card installed that works well for what I am using. Are there any cameras that can work with an external USB port?
Thanks
Wilton
