Need help to choose a budget Digital Camera

[sourav9535]

Hi,

I am planning to buy an entry level or a decent camera, and my budget is $80 maximum. Some models i looked at are 1. Philips DSC 110SL
2. Fujifilm JX500
3. Nikon Coolpix L23

Could you please help me choose a good one?

Thanks.

My wife has the JX680, very similar to the JX500. We like it.

Okay.

The brand of camera is not important. Go to your local camera dealer, with a fixed budget, and handle various different models. I think your only question need be, do I want interchangeable lenses, or will a fixed lens (bridge camera) suit me better. Buy the one which you think is the best for your style of photography. Remember you want to be a photographer NOT an equipment junkie.
