If you are in the market for a digital camera on a budget, there are several cameras available which are both high quality and affordable. The top three, while similar, each have special features that separate them from others in their class.

One such camera is the Canon PowerShot A3100 IS. This pocket sized, 12.1 MP camera, features a 4x optical zoom with image stabilization, and 2.7 inch LCD viewing panel. Available in multiple designer colors, the camera also comes with a completely rechargeable lithium-ion battery, making it not only more cost effective than many of its competitors, but also more lightweight.

Sony offers a similar product in its Cybershot DSC-W220. A slightly less compact camera than cannons power shot, this is also a 12.1 MP camera, featuring a 4x optical zoom with image stabilization. Its use of Bionz image processor technology guarantees minimal shutter time, increasing your likely hood of capturing the most precious, and most fleeting moments, and insuring the highest quality action shots. The camera also features face detection software, and has a 15MB onboard memory. Should you wish to expand this memory, it is Memory Stick Duo compatible.

Finally, one cannot discuss the cameras of this class without making mention of the Nikon Coolpix S570. The most compact of this lists top three, the Nikon is a 12 MP camera with a 5x wide angle optical zoom glass lens, and vibration reduction technology. It features both a movie mode, and Smart portrait technologies. Like the cannon, it has both a 2.7 inch viewing screen, and is SD card compatible for the instillation of additional memory.

The most important thing to remember when selecting a camera is to look at the specific features it has to offer, and buy the model most suited to your individual interests and needs.
