Hi everyone!

I'm looking to buy a new digital camera. I don't know much about them but I do have an idea of what I want/what I want it to do. I would like a p&s that is at least 12mp. I plan on taking this camera to school with me this fall and will be "documenting" my social life, i.e. football games, parties, etc. I don't care about the video aspect of the camera as much as the picture quality. I would also like something that is compact and I don't want to spend more than $150 if I can help it. I've heard brands such as Canon and Olympus are best but I'm not picky as to the brand of the camera.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Morgan
