I'm looking for a camera

[physics-fan3.14]

I want one that is inexpensive, easy to use, and takes pretty good coin pics, as well as regular pictures. I don't want to get involved with any big elaborate setups, I just want one that takes decent pics with a minimum of effort. I'm looking to spend in the $200-$250 range. Any suggestions?

Any used Nikon DSLR. A D100 can be had for that much on eBay, and it takes quite nice photos. The lens will cost you more though and likely break your budget.

Cannon power shot SX100IS....it's what I use and I get a lot of compliments. It has a good macro and right out of the box takes amazing shots with no extra lenses etc.....

I have a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S650 7.2 Mega Pixels that I got on Black Friday for $75.00 and I think it does a great job for what I need.

 

Sample pictures using the camera.

I don't know if I would spend money on anything short of the Nikon D300, which is outside the budget. I shoot with a D70 and without a decent macro lens, the photos aren't much to speak about. A macro like I use (a sigma 150 mm) runs $600 new, or about half that used.

I went to Best Buy to take a look at this one, and I really like it. So I came back home and just bought a black one on Amazon. Thanks guys!
