How much you got to spend?

I think your best bet might be to look for a digicam that\'s slightly older. Lots of cameras from name makers that are superceded by later models come down in price by a significant margin, that\'s one way of getting a quality piece of kit without paying through the nose for it.
But as Spacemunkie said, need to know your idea of \"tight budget\" - this could be $50 (unrealistically low) or $200 (probably doable, from an online vendor).

I don\'t believe my pictures are too shabby, and they\'re all just taken with an El Cheapo camera. If you hit my gallery, the pictures from 07 were taken with a mere 1.5 MP camera, and I believe the later ones are 4 or 5 MP. But doesn\'t matter, they were both taken with a camera just north of $100. Make sure you get one with a macro feature and you should be well enough off, IMO.
I\'d consider getting any of the older Canon Digital Rebel series. They are really damn solid for an entry level SLR, and well worth the price. A used/old one would be even cheaper and still plenty good.
Definitely not in the $100 ballpark, but tons of value still.
