Kodak EasyShare C875

Pros: Zoom, outdoor snaps, manual controls

Cons: Some flash issues, macro not very good

Summary: For $200 you can do worse than this camera. I wanted something to toss in a knapsack and not worry about too much if something happened to it. This one foot the bill for me. Daytime and outdoor shots come out very nice. Some nighttime shots(auto) have some issues using the flash, but if you're comfortable with manual controls, its not too hard to overcome. Zoom is pretty good and overall lens is decent; but don't expect too much from the macro, its just ok.

Look, its $200 for an 8mp,5x camera. Picture quality is very good,some decent features, and while not always pocketable, easy to bring along most of the time.
