  Pentax Optio S1. 150$ and pentax is my personal favorite camera company. Elegant design with an ultra-compact footprint, featuring soft curves, rounded edges and a highly polished, reflective metal surface in chrome, black or green. High resolution 14 megapixel sensor ensures exceptional detail in large print sizes, and provides flexibility when cropping an image. Wide angle 5X optical zoom lens (28-140mm) offers great framing flexibility for subjects near or far. Ample 2.7" LCD makes it easy to frame a subject or to playback still images or HD video. Sensor-shift PENTAX Shake Reduction (SR) system helps keep images tack sharp, even in dim lighting, while Movie SR keeps motion video steady. Capture widescreen 720p HD video when a still image just isn't enough to record the essence of the scene. Take pictures remotely using an optional PENTAX infrared remote control, perfect for self-portraits or group shots, small subject photography or rock-steady exposures. Set it and forget it with PENTAX's powerful Auto Picture mode, which analyzes the scene and tailors the shooting mode to best suit the subject. Shoot perfect portraits with fast Face Detection, Smile Capture and Blink Detection, combined with powerful portrait processing modes for pleasing composition and skin tone. Choose from many automatic scene modes to take the guesswork out of taking great pictures. Capture high dynamic range (HDR) images in-camera that perfectly blend details from the deepest shadows and the brightest highlights into a single picture.
