I am looking for just a basic entry level idiot proof camera that takes good pictures. Price is an issue as I would like to get a camera, memory card and charger for less than $200. In my Internet research I have gotten down to these two. I have not been able to find too much information about the Kodak which is why I am posting here. The Canon averall sounds like a better camera but is the Kodak really that bad? Any other models I should be looking into? I thought about the Sony DSC-90 but the Memory Sticks kill it for me.

Petey-

Neither of your chosen two cameras have received "sterling reviews." However, I would also take a look at the Casio Z120 which can offwer you 3X optical zoom, 7.2mp of resolution, and full manual and automatic controls all for around $(US) 200 here in the USA.
