Kodak EasyShare Mini M200 Camara 2011
The 10-megapixel Kodak EasyShare Mini M200 ($99.99 direct) is one of the smallest, lightest, and simplest digital cameras you'll find. Designed for a generation of users who take photos of their friends and upload them to Facebook without a second thought about image quality, it's a fine camera for the price. Be forewarned, though: there's no image stabilization, so unless you've got a tripod, or perfect lighting conditions, you'll either need the flash or you'll end up with seriously blurry photos. Much can be forgiven on a sub-$100 camera, but between that, and the Mini's lack of HD-video recording, it's tough to recommend unless you're on a strict budget. If image quality is at all important, you should save up for a low-end, but more-full-featured camera, like the Canon PowerShot A3000 IS ($149.99, 4 stars) or the Editors' Choice EasyShare M580 (4 stars), which Kodak sells for just $120 these days.
