I'm looking to spend 200-300 dollars on a new digital camera...350 would be pushing it.

I really want a camera that has a decent battery life and pretty good quality pictures. Anyone know where i can find an excellent deal? Thanks in advance.

canon SD110 250

nikon coolpix 3700 has a 100 dollar rebate (BR about 270)

these are great cameras I have got to play with both of these are what you are looking for.

i've had multiple bad experiences with ebay, so if i can avoid it with something this expensive i try. so far the cameras given all look pretty good...now it's just to decide on which one haha.

I to was looking at maybe getting a camera on ebay back when I got mine (January), but I found it was cheaper at Profeel for the camera I wanted and I looked around and they had great feedback from people and I got it there and haven't regreted it yet. I am also sceptic about big purchases on ebay. THe battery life is decent, it is my first digital camera so I don't really have anything to compare it to and I haven't really used it on a trip or anything yet being away from a charger for a while or anything. But if you find you need more battery life u can get another battery, they are pretty small and that I would def. get the extra battery on ebay. Also you will want a bigger memory card, I splurged and got the 256, the 128 should probably be fine though and that I also got on ebay and saved a shitload.
