    Looking for a low budget point and shoot camera
    My boyfriend bought me a F20 Fujifilm point and shoot camera 2 years ago for a little over a hundred bucks. It no longer works but it was a fantastic camera. Nothing too flashy about it but the pictures turned out really good. I am looking for another point and shoot camera for around the same price, doesn't matter is it is a little older style camera as long as it shoots well in low light. I would like to have video capability but it is not a necessity. I would like something not too bulky so it fits easily in my purse. I do not know much about cameras and where the best place to look for them is. I have heard good things about Olympus, does anyone have any other suggestions or ideas?

    Welcome to the forum.

    Well for shopping wise check out B&H Photo out of New York. I have purchased from them and they are great. You can search the camera section by price but I would also say to try to go to the local shops if anything to see how the camera feels in your hands.

    You can check out the reviews at B&H and here for ideals and were to start, also check out the "Dealer Feedback" section to see if the place you might buy from is a stand up place.

    Also check out Adorama they are a great place and also sell used gear.
