Its hard to reccomend just any digital camera without knowing what your main use of it will be for. This is my Kodak DX6490, I'm still getting the hang of it but I love it...

So you should make sure the one you get has a nice zoom on it or get an SLR digital camera. For $250 you're not going to get a great one for nice views but then its up to you how good you want the photos to be. I'm guessing you're not into photography so go for a 4mp one with a zoom. Can't offer any examples tho, sorry, cept maybe this hot little one

Buy whatever you get online, check and compare reviews, shop around...

[quote="Short Hand":8ccb0]I was not recommending it, I just love that camera. I got to use one at my school which kicked ass.[/quote:8ccb0]

I like my d70 alot more. I've used the Rebel a few times at our school and wasn't impressed with it. The layout and functionality of it sucked overall, but it does generate good images.
