Keep in mind we are novices and wouldn't know how to use many of the advanced features cameras come loaded with these days. Some video but not much, mostly just outdoor shots of the kids and vacation, etc... the usual stuff. Read a good review of this Nikon Coolpix 300, but of course we'd love any advice yawls have:

There are many good cameras in your range. Take a look at this web site.

I ended up buying the Canon Powershot SX230 HS for my granddaughter. Paid about $200 before Christmas.
