I've got 2, but one is getting way old, and the newer one that I bought to replace it tanked. Nice.

I can't afford a DSLR, and really don't want to carry one around, anyway. I take a lot of pictures, and have enough crap in my bag already. LOL

I love my Sony Cybershot.  It hasn't failed me yet!

We've had the Sony Cybershot for about four months now. So far, so good!

Anything from the Canon PowerShot series is good. I used to have one which I passed on to my mom when I got my DSLR, but I have taken it on trips and other places where I didn't want to lug the SLR around and it takes wonderful pictures and allows you to shoot in manual if you want.

Check out the photography board. Someone asked this same question over there

Sony CyberShot. It has various settings, and I use all of them. I especially like the ?kids and pets? setting, which has a very quick shutter speed so you don?t get the blur you usually get with kids who won?t sit still. You can also set it to take 3 consecutive pictures so you have a better chance of getting your shot. And for still shots with good lighting, the digital macro setting gives you a little more depth. I still want a DSLR, but I?m making do with the SCS for now.

Canon Powershot Digital Elph (lots of levels there to fit your price range). I upgraded from that to a Canon G-10 and LOVE it. It's a P&S that still has manual settings if you want. It's bigger than the elphs, but still can fit in the diaper bag. The picture quality is amazing.
