Find the Best Digital Camera Under $200.00

In summary, when looking for a good digital camera under $200.00, one should focus on the quality of the lens rather than the megapixels. Popular brands such as Panasonic and Canon offer good options in this price range, with Canon's lenses being considered second only to Leica. It is recommended to look for sales at stores like Best Buy, where cameras in the $150-180 range can be found. For those interested in point-and-shoot cameras, the Canon Elph series and Nikon Coolpix S550 are recommended choices. Higher priced, fancier cameras are better suited for artistic shots and not necessary for everyday use.

Shots I made with the FZ8:

Those are nice shots, but they were taken with a camera I am not even considering to buy.

Im considering the powershot. But this one is 250.00. I've seen lesser models for 200, so what's 50.00 getting me on this one that isn't on the other one?

Are both $200.00, but I don't know how 'good' they are.

Ask the owners:

Basically more megapixles and better video capability.

Here is a different page from the sites Andre posted. It features all of the Cannon line up features and comparable price shopping.
