and I know a decent amount of TA's are photographers.

I basically need a digital camera for around $250-550ish. Any suggestions?

(a repost is justified since new camera come out all the time)

Ill be dead honest... the quality of the pictures from the SD630 are shitty.

The Sony digital cameras are better than Canon's imo.

I work at a camera store.

Treat people as if they are what they ought to be and you may help them to become what they are capable of being.

I would guess it costs more due to having a better lens. Although the MP may be lower, the pics will still look as good/better.

SLR's are professional cameras. They require expesive lenses, and filters if necessary.

MP's dont determine the quality of the pictures, MP is just how big (resolution of) an image will be.

I dont know about the Nikon digital cameras, I have the coolpix 7900 and its not so great.
