Are you looking for a P&S or a more advance one with some manual functions?

if you're looking for one that has more manual functions, I'll recommend the fuji s1500. It is currently at 22x at Staples. There's a mail-in rebate of 40$ from Fujifilm (just got my MIR back yesterday). You can also apply a 20$ Staples coupon on it to bring it to 160-170. Very good price for a very good camera IMO.

Try to find an Olympus C5050z if you can. They pop up on Craigslist from time to time for $200 or less.

It is slow when savings/processing the images but it is built like a tank, has excellent image quality and a nice fast lens at f1.8.

It's an oldie but a goodie.

You don't care about the types of images that it will produce? Is price your only determining factor? Don't be a lazy newb, give us details as to what you're actually using this camera for.
Deal with it.

I'm going to Iraq again soon so pictures of desert like areas and family photos. I also require it to take good pictures in dim areas and need it to be able to fit into a pocket.

Thank you, Ali
