Digital Newbie Shopping Cost Effectively - Help!!!

[LittlePalms]

Ok, I'm a digital camera newbie. I know a little bit about cameras. I understand what screen resolution is, I know that higher MegaPixels means better quality and more options. Other than that, I'm not real smart when it comes to digital cameras.

I'm looking to buy a camera for $150 or less if at all possible. Here are my requests...

• Color LCD Screen for after-picture viewing
• A fairly decent zoom
• USB Capabilities
• Rechargable battery
• Expandable memory (or memory card capability)
• Somewhat compact - I have small hands
• Durable and easy to use
• Autofocus and Manual focus BOTH capabilitites preferred
• Mainly will be used for people, maybe some nature, maybe some action.

And here are some cameras that I have skimmed over that seem within my price range

• Samsung Digimax A402 4MP
• Vivitar Vivicam 4100 ?MP
• Vivitar Vivicam 4345 4MP
• Vivitar Vivicam 5385 5MP
• Olympus Camedia D-425 4MP
• Olympus Camedia D-535 3.2MP
• Konica Minolta DiMage x31 3.2MP
• Canon Powershot A510 3.2MP
• Pentax Optio 50 5MP
• Pentax Optio 33LF 3.2MP
• Nikon CoolPix 4600 4MP

Can anyone help me out with this large request? Thanks much in advance!!!!
