i have some finaid coming thru this week, and i think after i buy the few things i know i need/want i might finally buy a digital camera.

nothing fancy, just an everyday use kinda thing. i had planned on just going to target or something and buying one of those 88 dollar packaged simple ones, cheap and easy, but then i figured, hey, i'm on the internet there must be something a lot better for not too too much more, right?

so keeping in mind no more than 150 bucks (which is a lie, i might end up with more than that left over but for now thats a good estimate), what is my best bet?

here are some links i have been kinda looking at, but i dun really know what means what so i cant tell whats the best deal for the money:

nikon coolpix l4
nikon coolpix 4600
fujifilm finepix a350
kodak easyshare z700
vivitar 5388
fujifilm a500
panasonic dmc-lz2

(i actually had a lot more from a bunch of different sites, but firefox is being a stupid bish - EDIT - this is like the twelfth time ive tried posting this, i had to resort to using ie :( -, so i dun wanna waste my time finding them again. feel free to look for me tho.)

ps, should i at all be wary of the refurbished/recertified ones online? i assume those are just returned or something, but they couldnt rly sell em if they where suck, right?
