6 Top Digital Cameras below $150 for year 2008
With mobile phones all over, coming in with 5 MP cameras in most of the new ones, the list of top mobile phones for 2008 had some great ones, but the photography lovers still try to keep the mobiles far away from Digital cameras, giving the image capture job to cameras, and communication job to the mobile phones.

Nikon Coolpix L10 digital camera -
This digital camera is a great budget phone and is available at a price range between $84.99 to $99.99 in various online and local stores but the main drawback is the low 5 Megapixel camera.

To add one more to your list I just bought a Casio Exilim EX Z8 and found it quite nice, it was 85 GPB which is nearly the budget slot you have reviewed, probably cheaper now as I bought it a month back.

I loved the cool pics you uploaded. It makes me want to go out and get one right now. You should be working for an ad agency! You would be raking it in.
wow! very helpful post. Mine i bought at around 100 euros… well, the same as 150 back then, before the dollars sank…
Very good feature and the quality of your images are great!
I see one of the cameras has a rechargeable battery. For me, this is important right next to the picture quality.
My wife has been complaining for the last year that our digital camera’s shutter speed is too slow to get pictures of our kids. I will take a look at the Samsung L100 camera noted in this post. With two kids electronics get abused quite often, so something affordable is always a plus!

I PURCHASED THE NIKON COOL PIX HATE IT THE IMAGE IS NOT GREAT MY OLD FUJI FILM TOOK BETTER PIX EVEN IF IT WAS AN OLDER MODEL I HATE THE NIKON WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT I GUESS THEY SPEN PAYING MORE FOR PUBLICITY PAYING THESE SUPER STARS TO ADVERTISE NIKON BUT POOR QUALITY IMAGE.
This is a nice list of entry-level digital cameras. At this level the deciding factors boil down to does it take a good looking picture, and is it easy to operate and simple to figure out. There’s not much point in loading up a budget camera with complicated features that wouldn’t be much use in a point and shoot to begin with.
Another plus about all of these cameras is they can be found at discounted prices online, which makes them more attractive.
