Photography enthusiasts generally like to use DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras. These usually involve, among other things, a detachable lens. They can usually be used to take much higher quality pictures, but the downside is that they require some setup before a photo can be taken.

12.1 Megapixel

The alternative to these is a "point and click" camera. Rather than a bunch of technical setup, you can usually just turn these cameras on, point them, and click them! A point and click camera isn't necessarily a low quality camera. Here are a few excellent options for your next point and click camera:

1. Kodak Z950

This camera features a 12-megapixel resolution, and a 10x optical zoom. It can auto-focus, and you can check out your photos on its large 3" LCD screen. They are currently priced at 9.00.

2. Samsung TL320

This camera may not have the superb quality of the Kodak camera, but it offers a few unique features. The TL320 takes photos with a 10.2 megapixel resolution with a 5x optical zoom. The 24mm wide-angle lens can take good photos even when there isn't much light. The best feature is the 10fps continuous shooting capability. This means you can take ten quick photos automatically in a single second. You can then choose the best one out of the lot and delete the rest. This camera costs 9.00

3. Panasonic Lumix FH20

This is a great camera which also doubles as a video recorder. At 14.1 megapixels and 8x optical zoom, this camera can take some high quality photos. It can also record 720p HD video. It is currently priced at 9.95.

4. Canon Powershot A3100 IS

This highly rated camera can take 12.1 megapixel pictures with a 4x optical zoom. The 2.7" LCD screen makes it easy to instantly sort through your photos. The Canon Powershot also has a video mode. What makes this camera unique is that you can upload videos directly to YouTube. This feature has made this the camera of choice for people who are active on social media sites. Even better is the price, at 9.00

5. Sony Cybershot W370

This is a great all-around camera with a ton of features. The 14.1 megapixel photos are top-notch, and the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tassar 33mm lens takes great photos, even in areas where the lighting is dim. It can also shoot 720p HD video. One unique feature about the Cybershot W370 is the 243 degree panoramic mode. This is a great camera for travelers who want to capture beautiful landscapes and wildlife. This camera starts at 9.99.

There are many other point and click cameras you might consider, but those are undoubtedly the 5 best values on the market. Of course, you can find many cheap cameras for less than , but don't expect to take any fantastic photos with them.
