Yuck, a 100 dollars on a camera? You do get what you pay for!

What are you looking to use it for?

Just pictures. Not photography. Bought a 300 dollar camera 5 years ago. Still using that one it's only 4 megapixel... The ones above are 16. Are they bad?

A cellphone is like 8 megapixel max. This camera is 16 and I want a digital camera. That's slim. Not a bulky one.

Mega pixel is barely anything, especially with such a low budget. Your 5 year old camera is probably as good if not better than these. The only thing your old camera will have trouble doing is printing at large sizes (posters). For normal use you will likely be better off.

Thats why your old 3G iphone is better. Only problem: Printing large. But still. Save your money and get a real camera for around 250-350.
Or try finding a used cheap Canon S90 / S95...or Lumix LX -3 / 4 /
