Nikon SLR Cameras

Looking for a new camera?

So my old camera is old and I'm looking for a new one. At first I was looking at the Panasonic FH25, but then found the Samsung PL210 and Nikon S6200 to be slightly better, plus the Panasonic seems to be out of stock everywhere around here. Also saw the Nikon P500 for a good price (still in the $300 range), when I thought about it I realized I'm not really into photography so probably won't get that.
Opinions anyone?
Anyone have any experience with these that I've mentioned or any cameras you'd want to suggest?
The ones I mentioned are classified as 'ultra zoom' which I guess the type of camera I'm looking for. I'm looking for around $150, no more than $200, consider this if making any new recommendations.

Canon PowerShot SX130 IS. This is a great camera you can get for $150. If you want the upgraded one, the Canon PowerShot SX150 IS, you can get it for $200. Great cameras!

Ultra Zoom cameras will cost you more than your budget. A GREAT ultra zoom camera is the Canon PowerShot SX40 HS. If I were to recommend you an ultra zoom, this is the one I would recommend. It is a great camera! But this camera costs $400, although you can get it for less if you look in the right places. At Sam's Club it's $368.

So if you're looking for an ultra zoom, I suggest you save up.

I think the Samsung EC-PL210 Digital Camera with 14 MP and 10x Optical Zoom is the best camera of the lot:

I can compare it with Nikon COOLPIX S6200 in detail for you:

Advantages of the Samsung PL210 over Nikon COOLPIX S6200:

1. Significantly larger screen 3, 0" vs 2, 7"
2. Significantly better macro capability 5 cm vs 10 cm
3. Smaller 100x58x19 mm vs 93x58x26 mm
4. Thinner 0, 8" vs 1"
5. Lighter 148 g vs 160 g
6. Slightly longer exposures 8s vs 4s
7. Slightly cheaper
