Give me camera advice

Currently I have a Sony cyber shot. Not sure what version… It's from like 2006
takes pretty alright photos… But I hate how long the flash takes. And how it always has to be on flash or else it's too dark.
Well it's starting to get worn out so my mother and I are searching for a new camera
I really like the nikons we use at school, but we can't afford something like that plus don't want something so big and bulky

I was thinking of the Nikon L110… The price range is about right and I liked the pictures it took. Things didn't look washed out an the flash was quick…
However I hate how it uses normal batteries…
Could rechargable ones work? What are some cameras similar to this one? With nice pictures, good price, and not bulky and such?

Yes, Nikon L110 takes rechargeable batteries. Also, take a look at ''Canon Powershot SX120 IS'' (copy and paste here): http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-4233343-10809616

Here's what I always tell people who ask about finding a camera: Find a camera store or a place like Walmart or Best Buy that has demo cameras that you can play around with. Read the descriptions about the cameras to find out what fits your needs. Then play around with the camera. Use different settings with flash on and off. The one that feels right is the one that IS right.
