Olympus Printer

What camera is best for me?

Hello. I currently have a Kodak Easyshare 5.0MP that is about two years old. I really want to get a new camera because I am not receiving the best quality from this one. I think the only reason that I purchased it in the first place is that it came with a printer dock and that was really nice. Lastnight I bought an Olympus Fe-230 and it really sucks. I am taking it back today along with the xD memory card and getting my money back. I thought with the good name brand and the 7.1MP I was in the safe zone but I guess not. I want a camera that is in between $80-140 that takes crisp and clear pictures. I have a BEAUTIFUL cat that I would love to take pictures of, but my Kodak isn't doing it for me. I would also like a camera that is easy on batteries. I want to be able to take up to 70 pictures in one day with standard AA batteries. I have looked online at many retailers and many stores and I get so many good reviews but then I see the bad ones and it worries me. I was looking at a Canon A560 and it seems like a WONDERFUL little camera to have, but then I heard about the E-18 error and the bad customer service from Canon and I am not looking forward to that. I also saw a nice Nikon L11, a Samsung that apparently eats batteries like a pig, and a nice Sony one too. Any ideas? I am going out today so I would like to know which ones could be purchased from Target, Meijer, Radioshack, Kmart, Ritz, or any place like that. I have searched for these places online and received good/bad reviews. I just want some place that I can go to, test the camera out myself, then decide. Thank you!

1. Canons are good, but they won't be 80-140. If you want a budget camera, perhpas this Nikon : http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7694082
