If you're someone who likes the features found in the Fujifilm FinePix T400 digital camera, but you're looking to save a bit of money, you have a nice choice in the recently released FinePix T350.

The T350 is almost idential in its feature set and design to the T400, but the T350 carries a slightly lower resolution (14MP versus 16MP in the T400), as well as a lower MSRP of $160. (Compare Prices)

Finding a 10X optical zoom lens and a 3.0-inch LCD in the T350, with its low price point, is a great option that's not often seen in sub-$200 cameras. The T300 also is available in seven different solid body colors: Purple, silver, gold, black, blue, red, and pink.

With more and more advanced PowerShot point and shoot cameras appearing in the market, offering quite a few nice features, the choices can be tough. However, Canon appears to have combined many of the best features in its recently released PowerShot ELPH 530 HS.

The ELPH 530 HS includes a 12X optical zoom lens, a 3.2-inch touch screen LCD, and full HD video capabilities. Although the image sensor offers only 10.1 megapixels of resolution, don't discount it. Canon included a highly sensitive CMOS image sensor that works really well in low light and that produces images that are better than some cameras that have much higher resolutions.

Canon is offering the ELPH 530 HS in all white or all black, and it carries an MSRP of $349.99. (Compare Prices) This is a very interesting option for those photographers who aren't leery of spending a bit more for better features.
