It's not easy to find a point and shoot camera that also can help beginning photographers learn more about photography. Those who eventually want to be more serious about photography would like a beginner-level, fully automatic camera that also can help them learn about the types of manual-control features they'll find in more advanced cameras.
I recently had a chance to test a model that meets those needs. My Kodak EasyShare Z950 Review shows a very easy to use point and shoot camera that can help you learn more about photography, all for less than $300. (Compare Prices)
The Z950 has a couple of drawbacks, especially involving its chunky camera body. Shutter lag and shot to shot delays are problematic, too, but it provides a good value for photographers. And its image quality is very good.
I also had a chance recently to test another Kodak camera, and I've posted a Kodak Zi8 review. The Zi8 is a dual camera, offering both digital video and digital still image capabilities. Because this site focuses on still image cameras, I didn't give the Zi8 a very good star rating, as its digital video features greatly outshine its still image features. However, those looking for a pocket camcorder with some very limited, but easy to use, digital still image options will want to take a look at the Zi8, which can be found for less than $200.

I would never buy a thing GE made unless I absolutely had to, I don’t give a dang how good it is. After sticking Americans/citizens/voters with mercury filled light bulbs and kissing obamas geister they can take their company to china and leave it there
I bought a Kodak digital camera some six months ago in Dubai. On 17 September 2009 whilst operating the apparatus, its zooming system is not functioning on switch on mode. Kindly advise for remedial actions as applicable, please.
