Im wanting to get a Nikon Coolpix and have a price range of 150$-200$

The Camera I was looking at is the Nikon Coolpix S570,

http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Digital-Camera/26178/COOLPIX-S570.html

Don't really know too much about cameras, just wondering if this would be a good choice as this would be my first camera..

Iso comments or suggestions if I should get this?

Don't get a point and shooter. Look for a used DSLR

Because a DSLR = Good pictures. Point and shoot = bad (good if your shooting particular things, but in most cases bad).

This.

They're also unsexy. Walk around with a decent camera and it's just as popular as playing classical guitar or having a motorcycle.
