So I'm just depressed with all this DYI and referral site shit and I'm just buying a camera. I was hoping for some help because I have no idea about cameras, I read some reviews but all of the cameras reviewed cost a ton of money. Searched ebay and got hundreds of thousands results. What I'm looking for is a REALLY slim camera with LCD and everything that has decent quality. Don't want to spend more then $200. Anybody know of a good idea? I'm going with eBay so if retail is $250 then it should be OK.
Also - I searched "cameras" in the SEARCH on this site and found four pages, searched through all 4 pages for a thread that would help me but couldn't find one. So don't yell at me oops
I want to buy this tomorrow, sunday, or monday at the latest. Thanks a bunch.

Just don't get duped into buying one of those "OMGZ $80000 worht OF ACCESZORIES FOR FREEEE!" auctions on fleabay. Those lenses and filters, along with all the other accessories they sell, are junk.
Don't limit yourself just to ebay either - shop online retailers through pricegrabber or somethin. When I bought my C-8080 I got it cheaper brand new through a retailer, though it was probably because it hadn't been out very long when I bought it. It's nice though, because if it has a problem you can RMA it to the store.
