another digital camera topic!, need a recommendation from anyone Options

[funnyboy117]

So basically, my high school graduation is coming up and I want a digital camera for college (and life in general). I want something small and portable, so i can always have it with me and ready, with good quality picture and video for capturing those special fun times.

It doesn't need to be the best quality, because these arent like pictures for money or professional photography, they are just for money. Anyone have any ideas of something that would work well for me?

i wokr with cameras all day thats my sales department, if your looking for best bang for buck go with the Nikon Coolpix 4600 4.0 megapixel $199.
but if you need a great zoom go with the Panasonic FZ5x i think it is around $475 and 5.0 megapixel, but anyhting other than that is just inbetween, if your looking for the crazy compact style, go with the Sony DSC-T1 if you can find one cause they are discontinued, other wise go with the DSC-T33 whitch is the new model to the T1 and the credit card sized camera is the Sony DSC-T7 which is the smallest camera you can get at 5 megapixel but will run you $499.
Need any info and anyother cameras let me know
