I need a new camera for my trip in Dec. I would like it to be midrange for taking some nice hi def pictures. I think my max price range would be 200 dollars although I'd love something for less.
Also, I would like to know where I can get a good spy camera for taking subtle pics. When I say spy camera, I mean a camera that looks like a cap or a pen.
Remember, I live in Canada and most of the shyt they sell in America, the fcukers won't ship over here so bear that in mind when making recommendations. I need this in a hurry, I only have three weeks left.
Thanks, fellas.

I would not go with less than 4GB, especially for a 16MP camera. The cards are cheap as hell. Digital zoom has no bearing on how close you can zoom onto your subject, only optical zoom matters. If you're just going to be taking pictures of scenery and lizards, cameras like the one above will be fine.

I use a Nikon Coolpix S70. It's got the 3" touch screen (the whole back of the camera is screen), and it's 12MP with 5X zoom. I have a 2GB SD card in there, but you can get bigger cards for cheap. I have a larger camera I use when I'm out doing the tourist thing, a Kodak Z980, that's 12MP with 24X zoom. I have the additional larger, more powerful flash for it also. It's also got a 3" screen on the back. I have a 16GB card in that one. Though it's bigger, I like it because it takes AA batteries. If you run out of juice, you can simply carry extra batteries and replace. With the other, it takes one of those rectangular rechargeables, so if you run out of juice, you have to plug in somewhere.
For the spycam, just do a search for "spy cams" or "lipstick cameras" or something like that. Most of the retailers that carry that stuff will have a variety of small cameras you can hide and record yourself banging some unsuspecting honey...HA HA!

if you're looking for a cam with video look at the zi8. it's small, easy to use, takes hd 720 and 1080 vid and good photos. it can fit into a shirt pocket without looking strange.

Moma bro!
Just spent decent money on a Canon 1TI and I love it, spend a bit extra and get a decent camera.
You can then build up from there with lenses etc.
Check out Henry's outlet or Best Buy after Xmas.
