Question advice needed on budget digital camera

I need a handful of digital camera models that are under $100.
Are there any decent ones?

TIA

I don't know about decent for under $100, but take a look here. Of those listed, I'd stick to brands like Fuji, Kodak, Olympus, Pentax and Sony.

you might also think about getting used digital cameras,
I think as newer and better one come out all the time, there should be a good market for used cameras, I know a lot of the older ones are just given away to friends or family, but you never know.

Take a look at the selection at your local Wal-Mart. They have usually have some good deals on quality cameras. I got my Panasonic 2 MP camera for half price ($120). I couldn't be happier with it.

During the summer i was in the market for a dig camera for about 150.00. I went to comp usa , and they showed me the difference in cameras and price ranges. they told me to forget the 150 range and look at the 250.00 range. It was more than i was thinking of paying . They told me the canon a75 was the best seller for them and had the most natural colors. I bought it and never regreted it. The camera is very intuitive and leans towards the creative side. It takes great pics and video with good sound. Cnet.com said it was the best buy under 300.00

Wal-mart has a 3.2 megapixel Kodak Easyshare for just under $100. You'll want to get a bigger memory card though. The 16 or 32 meg that comes with it will fill up fast.

Thanks guys for all the help.

Well, I went to WalMart and bought a Kodak EasyShare 7330 on sale for 138.00 down from 197.00. And got a 128 MB SD card for 15.00.

Am enjoying the convenience of digital pictures now.

Have a great Christmas and Hanukah!

I guess I did write my post in that sort of way. I should have said I needed 4 or 5 models to choose from. Heh.
