Scotty;

I hate like hell to step into a discussion with these "Camera Pro''s but
I have to tell you again; DON"T OVERLOOK THE:

Kodak; Easy Share CX7330!!
It is in the price range you're talking about. Has ALL THE Features the
pro are talking about. Auto focus, plus 4 manual stops. Plus a Video
Setting ( Not the greatest but GOOD) A 4 power zoom lenses. A manual
peek focus plus a back screen focus & review

Image stor., Album , Slide Show = + other features I don't use.

It's about 2"x4"by about 1" thick. It has a Auto Lenses cover, an
internal flash, a self timer for getting in the picture yourself. a
sound system to go with the video.

I've been carrying it in my pocket for at least a couple of years. No
damage!!

It has been replaced with a newer model but is still around $150.00 or
less

It has a 37mm.111mm(Equiv.)AF 3x Optical Kodak Retinar Aspheric All
Glass lenses but more important it has a outlets to let me transfer
pictures to my Web, my VCR, Computer or to print out photographs on my
printer 3 different sizes (another $150)

Had to say it. I'm not an expert in photography. Not at all but a sample
of the "Easy Share" pictures are in my Signature.

I love my camera. CAMERA, one single unit. No extra lenses. My only
Access. is a $10 tripod to be used to copy other photos

Good Luck on your search.
