Default what kind of digital camera should i get?!?

im interested in gettin a digital camera, but am not sure what i should get.
my requirements are:
-about $150, maybe a little more
-about 4 megapixels
-rechargeable battery
-screen
-decent optical zoom
-cheap memory sticks

im not looking for super good quality or anything. i just want something that will take decent pics and a lot of them. uhh any recommendations would be good. thanks

Olympus Camedia D-545 :hsdunno:

The price you've listed is rather limiting to the rest of your criteria.

I would be happy with just a 1Ds myself...MKII is more of a studio camera although it does function well in sports it isn't exactly prime for i teither.

5D seem interesting. positioned below the 1Ds MKII but above the 20d. Seems like a entry level pro, as opposed to 20d prosumer.

$150 isn't going to get you a good 4 mp camera at all.

canon, nikon, panasonic, are usually among the top three. the canon SD series (SD300 for the 4mp version) is awesome

Do you want something "regular" sized, or do you want something that's gonna be pocket-sized like a pack of cigs or deck of cards?

well smaller would be better i guess. i dont even really know how many megapixels i would need. im not really worried about printing stuff out i just want the pics to be big enough to fill up my computer screen. so i dont really think i would need 4 megapixels. maybe like 3 or 2.5? im kinda lost lol.
