That's a very open-ended quesiton. Unfortunately, even if you budget was infinite, there is no such thing as a "best" camera.

A good camera depends on what you want to use it for, what you expect from it, and how much you can spend.

For $200, you have quite a few options, it all depends on what you want to do. You can get quite a few point-and-shoot digitals in that price range that will be great for snapshots. You can also get quite a few older 35mm SLRs that would be excellent, super-flexible, professional quality cameras to learn on. You could even get a medium or large format camera that would provide you with exceptional image quality and as much room to grow as you could ever use.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is what exactly do you mean by 'daily use'?

you know like taking out the camera for holidays,road trips,dinners, shit like that. but yet im looking for something that i dont have to worry about blurs/lighting issues as much. Just a high quality picture taking but yet normal camera. size isnt important. if needed i will go over 200$.

pretty much any mid-range point-and-shoot digital will be fine then. I'd recommend sticking with major brands (Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Olympus, etc), but it's pretty hard to go wrong. I'd recommend going for something in the 5-6 megapixel range, in a point and shoot anything more is going to run into sensor size issues and probably not be worth the money.

Maybe the coolpix serie? Just don't get any with autoiso, those are awful to shoot with in the night :(.

get a view camera like what you have pictured- 4x5 is equivalent to about 1000 megapixels
