Good evening fellow NSers,

I'm looking for a simple point and shoot camera for my sister.  She isn't going to be needing anything super advanced and I am looking in the $100-150 maybe a little bit more price range.  There are so many out there, and they seem to be throwing megapixels at me.

Any suggestions?

p.s. i did an extensive search bar search.

yeah that's what i was thinking. i was doing a quick perusal of the ads and what not and it seems at though all of them have at least 5 megapixels. it's crazy it seems like people think that megapixels define a camera. i know i've been talking to people and i said a camera was shitty and they were like "not uh it has 8 megapixels" and i was like well fuck you.

anyway. suggestions?

i gave you the link there...that camera is fine.

megapixels are just how big the photo is...megapixels are like the area of the photo in pixels...you only notice the difference if you blow it up in photoshop anything above 3
