My original thread inquired about Vivitar cameras... upon further research I can't seem to find a good rating on the Vivitar x024. I'm looking for a relatively low priced (not more than $170) digital camera.

Any suggestions as to what would give me the best bang for my buck?

i know its a little more than what you wanted to pay for but this camera is absolutely awesome

If you bump your price range Sony Cybershot DSC-W290 (note Sony cameras usually have Memory Stick Duo instead of SD cards)

In the range and according to CNET is nice:
Casio Elixim EX-S5

I have this camera and loved it, but I've since entered into the strange world of dSLR's:
Cannon Powershot A1100 IS - LINK

Canon's are the sweetness.

Can't go wrong with Nikon... good price for the next couple days.
