Question: Do you want Digital or Film?
If digital, you are restricted by price to Point and Shoot cameras. There are many good makes but Canon and Nikon are still perhaps the best. Check out this site for reviews of cameras in your price range: www.dpreview.com.
If film, there must be a lot of great used SLRs avaialble for that price

Size? Do you want pocket-able? Or best picture possible? Photo and shoot? Zoom requirements? Megapixels? Lots of variables and lots of options.

shutter lag is the time from when you push down the button to the time it takes the picture. cheaper and older cameras have a massive lag. my mom's camera, no joke, the lag is like 1.5-2 seconds. so shooting anything in motion is a pain in the ass.
