Camera Suggestions??

[azcavalier]

I know i'm in the minority, but I don't care for Nikon and Canon point 'n' shoot cameras (though they make fine DSLRs). I think that Sony and Panasonic make some excellent small cameras, though. I have a few models that I think are great, but they're more than the $250 you mentioned.

The Sony CyberShot DSC-HX9V is an excellent point 'n' shoot camera with a long zoom on it. Lots of great features. It's just over $300.

Great thread! Is it OK if I piggy back on this to also request suggestions on a decent waterproof point and shoot? To compliment DSLR.
Thanks
