Cameras are almost disposable commodities these days, but with most upwards of $200, I can't afford to continue destroying & losing them! With that in mind, I set out to find the best digital cameras under a hundred bucks Everyone's idea of what makes the "best" camera is different. Some folks value ultra-portability over picture quality. Others may prefer a camera that is simple to use over one that is jam-packed with features. I took this into consideration when evaluating digital cameras that cost less than $100, and established five (5) "best-of" categories. The categories are: The Cheapest, The Most Rugged, The Simplest, The Best Photo Quality, and The Easiest to Fit in Your Pocket.
