I need a camera that produces good quality pictures with realistic colors, fits easily in my pocket and costs $30 (used).
In my youth I had a Canon Powershot A520 and it was phenomenal for its time. The colors were lush and pictures were sharp, clear and realistic. I remember paying like $400 for it. A few years ago I got a newer Powershot, a Powershot A1200.
It's still the crappiest camera I've EVER used. Every picture it takes is grey and blurry, despite the lighting. It makes me want to delete everything I've shot with it. What happened, Powershot? How do I know which Powershots are shit?
So, I need you to tell me which of the old pocket cameras were so good back in the day that you can still take good looking pictures with them.
