Right camera for me?
Hello(:
So I'm fourteen years old and very interested in photography, and have been for a few years now.
My old Kodak camera broke and so I need a new one… But I have no idea what kind I should get!
I would preferably like a Nikon, FujiFilm, or Canon, around 12-15 MP… I definitely want a DSLR instead of just a regular digital one… I would like one with a lens that you can manually focus in or out, but it's not a MUST. I need the price range of $160-$260, or around there. Please help me out! I don't know all of the camera terms, and if someone could explain them to me in easy english, that would be great xD…
Also, A link to a camera website along with the name of the right camera for me would be great. Thanks!

I'll be using the camera for more close-ups, such as plants, insects, small objects, and some landscapes and self-portraits… I want one that I can use the "bokeh" style on also…
Look for one of the cameras you like that can focus to at least 5cm, 1cm is better.
As far as "bokeh is concerned, P&S cameras because of their tiny sensors, single lens and for the most part NO user controls over aperture or shutter speed, you will have to wait until you can budget for a dSLR and fast medium telephoto lens
This link will give you access to all the specifications of those and other brands
