Off Topic: Good Morning San Francisco
Somedays, I wish I had a real camera. Today was one of those mornings. What a perfect dawn – Sun fighting off the clouds and darkness, reflecting my own inner self. I had to settle for a camera phone photo – not bad, but not great either. (Of course you know what it means – a whole lot of blogging today :-)
By the way, any suggestions for a good, yet inexpensive digital camera? Less than $250, since I actually don’t take too many photographs.

Canon A 560 or A 570.
Can’t go wrong with it.
Not the slimmest but a good balance of form and function.
Here’s my camera,
it’s not a bad deal, check it out
Nice shot! I picked up a Canon PowerShot A710IS about a year ago, and have been very happy with the image quality. For under $200 (just checked amazon), it’s a nice cross between lots of features and reasonable price, in my opinion. The image stabilization is great too – photos come out much clearer with this camera than our previous Kodak. Plus, it’s small enough to pocket if you wear cargo-style pants, and doesn’t take much space in a carry-on or other bag if you don’t.
Have fun!
Between your camera and my monitor it looks like israel
Canon SD1000, or any of the SD series…

@rick It does look kinda familiar and not too Californian ;-)
@Om I love the Canon Ixus series. Great results in a very small camera. I’m sure you can get one under 250$.
Go with a FujiFilm FinePix S6000fd – many features of an SLR (like mechanical zoom) without the actual “SLR” part. This series (5000, 5200, etc) are quite popular on flickr too. I find it great to go between full manual settings, 1/2 manual 1/2 automatic, and full point-and-shoot.
Nice, i guess i am not the only one who couldn’t sleep in on a sunday. oh well, it seems like canon is getting the big thumbs up so far.
I would vote for Canon as well. I have a SD700IS. IS = Image Stabilization — I strongly recommend it. You can check the “deal” websites like gottadeal.com for good deals on it. I picked mine up at Circuit City when they were having a sale.
Another vote for Cannon. SD750 is floating around $200 this holiday season. Amazon has it for $209. Slickest and best rated camera in the reviews I’ve seen for the price. Definitely recommend it over the SD1000.
