I bought a canon s230 at the end of the summer, it's one of those miniature ones, and I love it, cause I can take it with me pretty much anywhere I go. It depends on what you need though, and what you're pricerange is. Peace

I was hoping to get your input as to what kind of camera we should buy. Neither of us are real photography buffs. We just want a camera that we can use to record family moments and occasional hiking trips. Here's our wish list: Under $300 At least 4 mega-pixel (so that we can print 8X10s) Easy to use (for us amateurs) Good in varied lighting conditions Cheap to maintain (standard batteries, durable, etc) 3x optical zoom or better Linux support as a camera and as a webcam If it could take a minute or so of video and audio, that would be a bonus I've done some window shopping, checked the list at gphoto.org, and read some reviews, but I want to know what experiences you have had. Can I get all this for my budgeted price? What manufacturers do you recommend? What models?
