2 electronics questions

[Bam]

First off, what's the best digital camera for around $100. Just looking for a cheap point and shoot. SD card preferred.

 

Second...I'm debating buying a cheap CD player, only for the benefit of having an aux-in. They do not sell an IPOD/Aux-in kit for my car, and so I'd have to piece together a few different options that would run me between $60 and $90, just to be able to plug my ipod in.

 

So I'm considering an aftermarket cd player. I don't have subs or anything like that, its all factory and honestly it's plenty for me. I want to make sure that my sound quality does not DECREASE with a new cd player? The car has decent bass with my songs and I know in the past with friends that have swapped out the factory radio for an aftermarket, it didn't sound as good w/out an amp. Is this usual or not?

 

So I don't want to spend more than $90, and I found like 6 different ones on bestbuy.com. Anyone tell me why I should choose one over another?

 

Here's the links...

^^^ This one says it comes with 6.5" cone speakers??? It says that it doesn't fit my car but I think that's because I don't have 6.5" speakers? All single din headunits are the same, right?

I've been in car audio for 10 years. Have had almost every big name cd player. The pioneer will have the best sound. Kenwwods good. JVC and Sony suck.

Panasonic LZ8 will get you the best bang for the buck. Great little camera for $100-$120 depending on where you buy it. I still use a 5-6 year old version of it, the LZ2. Bought my parents an LZ5 when it was out and they love it.

 

Here are some basic snaps from it. Durable little sucker so I take it where I know my gear is at risk.

Thanks for the recommendation Tim, seems like reviews are hit or miss on that, but I'm still considering it...

 

Have any experience with either of these two?
