recommendations
I need some recommendations for a digital camera. It has to be more or less compact (when you turn it off, the lens goes back inside of the camera). It has to take extremely good pictures, and have a video recorder. I could care less what it looks like, so don't try finding me the first cute camera that pops up on google. I want quality and something small. My budget is $500, but if I'm going to spend 500 bucks on something, it better be good.

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
I have had my camera for a month, a rock concert, and a trip to New York, and it has never failed to give me superb pictures and video.

^ that is a link from the Kodak store, and it costs $200, but I got my camera at a Target store for $160.
It takes pictures quickly, and has a giant, glossy screen. It's about a half-inch thick, ~2.4 inches long, and ~1.5 inches tall. I use a bulky, cheap, camera pouch-thing to keep it safely cushioned whenever I'm not using it, but it fits easily in my jean pockets (now that I think about it).
I have found the Kodak software for both the camera and the computer to be easily-used and user-friendly.
This is a picture that I took earlier today (of the hand-strap that comes with the camera..):

From those similar questions, this was my answer:
Hey. I am going to tell you about my wonderful camera I got last Christmas.
It does everything you want:
-Takes pictures
-Takes videos
-Has many different picture settings
-I have rechargeable batteries.. they were kind of on the pricey side, but they are definitely worth it.. you don't have to go out and buy new batteries every time they die.
-It is in your price range. You won't get too great of quality for under $150, so its good you have a larger range. But.. at the bottom of the page I give below- it has a certain website where it looks like you can find it at $119.99. That would probably be your best bet.
Here is a review of it I found:[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
This camera has 5.0 megapixels, 4X Optical Zoom [You want optical zoom, not digital zoom- because digital screws up the pixels as you zoom and the picture looks really crappy], it has 18 different shooting modes, and if you have a larger memory card [I have 2GB] you can hold a lot of pictures/videos.
Now for my own review..
I love this camera a lot and it is a great investment. I take tons of pictures and videos.. and it is perfect for me. The picture quality is the best I've seen in many different digital cameras. My brother has one, and the pictures always come out having odd white spots on them. This camera doesn't do that, ever. I think you will love it.
The only thing is, I'm not sure if you can find it at Sears- but the website I gave you can get a good discount =D.
**EDIT**
I know it's cheap- but it is a VERY nice camera. Just be gentle with it- don't drop it- and it will work very nicely.
