List some good point-and-shoot digital cameras.none that need to change lens.
looking for ones under $250. I only print 4x6s so very high megapixels is not needed.really looking for a camera that takes high quality, crisp, clear pictures. I have other digital cameras but not pleased with the quality. And what features should i look for additional clarity? Like image stabilization, low light, motion detection, etc.
i hear canon is best usually, then sony or nikon.

Added (1). Okay, so i'm looking for a camera that takes high quality pictures without the need of a tripod.again, I'm NOT a professional photographer. Just a simple average person who whips out their camera and snaps pictures of people at parties and of pets.geez, just about all the answers i get are from photographers thinking i'm a photographer asking a question. Not upset, just saying, i appreciate the help but don't expect me to be on your "level" of photographer expertise/skills. Thanks

Added (2). AWBoater nice ones.know any others? Want ones that will do well in low light and also have "image stabilization" features to prevent blur
Between a camera with 12mp, 1/2.3 sensor, f/1.8, ISO 3200
vs
a camera with 10mp, 1/1.7" sensor, f/2.8, ISO 3200,
besides all the other features, which would you think is better in indoor/low light settings?

For clarity you will want the largest processing chip you can get. Megapixels has nothing to do with the clarity so to speak. Anything above 6 megapixels is not necessary for a clear picture. Tripod and a remote shutter release and a sharp focus are number 1 above anything else for a great picture.

To tell you the truth, I don't think that you will be able to get what it is your looking for at $250.00.
You could look on a site that sells reconditioned cameras for a good price, usually about half the cost of new.

The best cameras in the under $250 market are:

- Canon SX130IS or SX150IS
- Nikon P300 (which you can sometimes find for $250)
- Nikon P7000 (which Amazon has for $279 - but I add it as it is normally $500)

While the performance of these cameras will not match DSLRs, they will be as good or better than any of the other compact cameras. Of the cameras on my list, the P7000 is far and above the others. The P7000 is on sale since it has been replaced by the P7100, it is an incredible deal - and with the P7100, is arguably the best compact camera you can buy.

The P7000 is not an old model by any means - it has only been out for a year.

Here is a quick review of the P7000: http://www.althephoto.com/cameras/p7000.php

Fujifilm finepix x10, a little bit expensive but much more better and looks much more nicer

And the word please is as alien to you as the concept of a capital to start a sentence?

Canon's a-series.
