1 - Canon PowerShot SX620 HS

When you're trying to find the most (able to do many different things well) camera option for around $250, you need to check off (more than two, but not a lot of) boxes. First, it needs to have decent optical zoom, so you can take shots up close and from far away. Second, it should be (compared to other things) compact, as many budget camera buyers would prefer a camera that doesn't need to be carried in a camera bag. The Canon PowerShot SX620 HS checks these boxes off and more.
The Canon PowerShot SX620 HS has an impressive 25x optical zoom with smart image (making steady/making firm and strong) and can handle low-light photos with its 20.2-megapixel CMOS sensor. It measures 2.3 x 5.7 x 6.3 inches and weighs just .38 pounds, so it's easy to carry around no matter if you're on your way to work or the beach. For video, it (records on a camera or computer) 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second and both video and photos can be viewed instantly on the device's three-inch LCD screen.
Amazon reviewers have been made happy (by meeting a need or reaching a goal) with the device and have noted that it works great for "weddings, museums, galleries, parties, insurance claims" and more. They also liked the camera's ability to send photos directly to your smartphone via WiFi or NFC.

2 - Nikon CoolPix L340

The Nikon L340 is another steal for the sub-$250 price range, a fixed lens Super Zoom that competes directly with the Canon SX410. It features a 20.2-megapixel CCD sensor ideal for low-light conditions. The 28x optical zoom (56x energetic/changing fine zoom) lens allows for an impressive (able to zoom in to far objects) range, and it has one of the smallest bodies in its class. It's compact as well as (able to do many different things well). When put together, these specs don't make for the most impressive point-and-shoot you can find, but when it can be found for at such a great price point, it makes for a great value. The lack of a rechargeable lithium-ion electrical storage device feels a bit old fashioned, as does the lack of Full HD (1080p) video, but what can you expect? This is a solid, reliable camera from one of the best names in photography, something any beginner shooter would appreciate before upgrading to a more serious (able to take the place of each other) lens device.
