I know theres probably a million threads on this, but i am looking into buying a camera.  I want something thats gona take nice pictures but won't break the bank, and my camera knowledge is limited.  I wouldn't spend more then say $250ish.

I was just looking around and i came across this

and i was wondering if anyone had it and could tell me anything about it or if anyone has any other suggestions on a type to get im open to anything. Basically i just want a pretty nice camera but nothing too crazy so any help would be great.thanks.

unless yours getting a DSLR, it doesnt really matter what camera you get.  With point and shoots, megapixles hardly represent the quality of a cameras picture, just get one from a known brand, the higher the price, usually the more durability it has.  The one you are looking at looks like a camera that will do what you want it to do.

i hope it isn't going to be used for ski photography because it won't suffice very well
