HEY EVERYONE, I WANT TO BUY A CAMERA, ITS MY FIRST DIGITAL AND I KNOW NOTHING. WIFEY SAID SHE WOULD LIKE ONE THAT IS A PALM RECORDER BUT TAKES STILL PICTURES. I WOULD LIKE TO SPEND $500.00 CDN AT THE MOST. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT.

look at Canon A610 at about $279 USD. Can't beat the value.

I have a PowerShot G2 and it has alot of cool modes.it aslo takes decent 30 sec videos.The only thing i don't like about it is that it takes a second to take the picture after you push the button.

i have a cannon powershot a 80 its a awsome camera its aboot $280us dontch ya know

Check out www.steves-digicams.com and the digital camera section on www.cnet.com for some good reviews/online prices.

I prefer Canon digi cams. I have a G5 and a S410 Elph (really small, great for sledding).

Powershot A610 or A620 ..

I have a Kodak easy share 4.0 mega pixel that takes amazing pics and is easy to use. There are so many to chose from, just take your timeand you'll find the right camera and value for you. I would recommend going to a camera shop v. Best Buy or something, they will do a better job finding the right camera for you.

in my opinion its a great idea to buy CANON A650
it has 12.1MP, 6x optical zoom and the price is very affordable only 300$

i suggest Canon G9

what about canon g9 or nikon d60? i think that it would be a great idea to buy a Canon G9 or Nikon D60

Canon SD770

i recommend Nikon D60 digital camera

You are a real original one... how did I know you were going to say that? Go spam elsewhere. Nikon sucks.
