Needing a new camera now.

[wesdaman14]

So today my sister had my camera and she dropped it and the lens jammed and is messed up now. i tried to fix, but i had no luck.
I'm looking for a really decent camera with at least 8mp sensor, 4x zoom and portable.
Under 150$ please. Give me some ideas of whats hott now. Thankss

My latest compact is lumix fx-500, which fits your demands, but perhaps is a bit over $150. It really is a nifty little compact camera with full manual exposure options and image stabilizer.

I'm not sure if it is the best option on the market today, but i'm pretty pleased with the resulsts. Only real downside is that it has a 10 megapixel sensor which is quite prone to noise. Major upsides are 25mm wide angle shots, and optical zoom to 125mm with pretty crisp images.

I would recommend this camera, unless noise is a major concern.

I highly recomend my Pentax optio S10. Look around. I picked mine up for $100

10MP
3X optical zoom
5X digital Zoom
I used this camera to take these pictures in this thread linked below.

I have an Olympus FE-340 and I love it. It's 8mp, 5x zoom, and you can get it for 100$ of less if you look hard enough. I can pm pics if you want me to. =)

If someone calls you ignorant for no reason, an there the one that is ignorant as they did not pay attention, i feel the need to make a correction to his reply. Alright Lets talk camera's now. MY camera is a beast ! haha.

Well you did still ask a question and then go out and buy a camera without listening the person which had replied or waiting for others to reply, after which you did not even thank anyone for their help when you returned and several more had spent time helping you. That seems a waste of other people's time to me and rather rude.. but let's not start a big fight over this.

I am glad to hear you got a nice camera! Let us see some cool beamshots and other pictures soon (; Is there any significant noise in the picture or would you say it has a clean performance?

Yeah 'oh well its bought now lol. Yeah super pics, There was a reflection on the camera tho because of my wall was burning and there was a huge reflection on the opposite wall.

Wow I must say it is really great at capturing blu-ray! That beam looks so good it almost appears edited into the photo.. don't get featured on hack-a-mod like jayrob because people will claim that your are photoshopping your pictures

Have you done anything special with the colour balance or exposure time? It sure is rare to find a camera which really depicts blu-ray as that deep violet colour we all love!

haha lets hope i dont get on there
The exposure time was i think around 4 seconds and that all i added on the camera. Its the reason i bought this one because my friend had it and i took it home and checked how the beam turns out and i said i had to get one like it. Yup really nice color. I made a balloon pop video with it, Buts its almost half a gig in size so yeah..
