My friend Laura asked me to do a post about different options for
cheap affordable point and shoot cameras. We're going to review some cameras that are $200 or less. 🙂 I am just reviewing basic features and will not be delving too deeply. These cameras are in no particular order. Why 4? ...Girl's gotta work, had to draw the line somewhere!
I will say that I have owned 1 camera from each of these companies. I do have a favorite, you'll have to ask me which one I liked best!!
