HELP!!! I desperately need a new digital camera. My current one (Epson Photo PC 650) is junk! My budget max is $400. Can anyone help with recommending a purchase? Thanks!

Check out the Canon S20. It is a 3.3 mp camera that one can get the most bang for the buck. You get quite a bit for the money, price has come down in the last while. There is a rechargeable battery/charger and all the cables one needs all included. Check it out! It might be in your price range.

Check out the reviews and fora at:

Best ones I've seen anywhere. And I agree with the Canon choice. Go for it. Nikon is awesome, but fragile (Coolpix 950 3 times in the shop in 24 months for 12 000 pics, and I'm not the only one). I switched to a higher end digital Canon (D30 SLR) ad it's a dream. CMOS sensors aren't very performant in very low light though (noise galore) but incredible in upper low to extremely bright.

Good shopping!
