Looking to get a gift for my cousin for Christmas, and was wondering what you guys think is the best digital camera under $150. I'm trying to keep the price as low as possible, but also trying to get a pretty good camera. The size doesn't really matter, and as long as it's over 4mp.

I been looking at the
Nikon L3 $125 @ beachcamera.com
Canon A530 $128 @ buydig.com

I'm leaning toward the Canon.
Is there any other camera to consider that I missed?

I think the A530 is the best cheap one. Circuit City has it for $135.

A530
1.8" LCD,
full manual controls,
4x zoom, 5MP
high speed download
viewfinder

L3
2.0" LCD
partial controls,
3x zoom, 4MP
slow download
no viewfinder
a bit smaller and lighter. Too small?
