Looking for good camera between 1 and 2 mega pixels

[The_spacemonkey]

Hi, Im looking for a good reliable camera, between 1 and 2 mega pixels and under $200. Im not really a feature nut, I would like to have a macro feature and flash. The two things that have seemed to bother me in the past with some cameras are batterys and refresh rate. I would like one that dosent take too long of a time betweenyou being able to take pictures..... The other thing is the battery. I need something with decent battery life and not too expensive batteries. My mother has a fuji film finepix with an NP-80 battery which is hard to find and expensive as hell.


Im looking at the olympus D-380 right now.... what do you guys think of this camera?
