Well I'm going to be travelling to Italy, and New York this year and I plan on doing some travelling later on in life. So I figure I should go ahead and buy a camera that isn't 7 years old. So I'm looking for the wisedom of TL to help me. My price range is around $100 I can go over but I would prefer not to. I've sort of developed an interest in photography and plan on buying a fancier camera later(probably not relevant)

So far I've looked at
http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/22617/olympus-fe-46/
http://www.retrevo.com/search?q=FujiFilm A235&rt=sp&modelid=23592986
http://www.retrevo.com/search?q=Samsung SL102&rt=sp&modelid=23300468

So if TL has any other suggestions I'll take anything ^^

^IGNORE ALL OF THIS

Well I've been looking into used DSLRs on kijiji like many suggestions have told me to and basically come up with

http://london.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-cameras-camcorders-CANON-EOS-REBEL-XS-film-camera-79-obo-W0QQAdIdZ184675421

alternate suggestions and other places to look are welcome :v

For 100$ camera, they are really about the same. Just go with whichever one looks better to you/on sale. Have you considered buying a used compact digital camera? You can probably get a better model for your price range.

e:

Actually, I strongly recommend buying a used camera.
Look on kijiji or craigslist

You can't get good pics out of a hundred dollar camera

Id save up for a canon or sony.

I agree with everyone else. You can't get good pictures with a $100 point and shoot. I would spend more money to get a Canon point and shoot.

I would love to save more money, but University is coming soon and I'm already saving hardcore for that. I could possibly put in another $100, but I'm going to be stretching myself thin :/

and if you are going to spend anything near 200 dollars, do yourself a favor and get yourself an used dslr, instead a fancy new p and shoot

for example canon 20d can be had for around that much nowadays

just like computers, there are newer and better cameras every day (or at least every month). so how often should one upgrade?
4v4 is a battle of who has the better computer.

i really dont think cameras are improving at a fast late
taking high end dslrs in to mind: only once a year, a new model will come out with minor improvements such as better noise control at high iso etc
nothing ground shattering

Not everyone knows how to use a dslr.

if one is that stupid or does not care to learn, then he should not spend 200 dollars on camera

Sony's point-and-shoot compact cameras are better than most I've compared with.

Neither of them are digital cameras, but film cameras.
You are going to have a difficult time finding used DSLR below 100 dollars. Around 200 dollars is at least what you will have to pay for an old used (but decent) DSLR.

You could get a used DSLR body for ~$150-200 for no problem, but be wary of buying used lenses.
