I really don't know what to do now!!I broke my camera last Saturday..Now I have to buy a new one!I'm afraid I'm gonna buy a bad cam 'cause I'm not an expert and,as everybody knows, in most cases, merchants want always sell and nothing else Maybe they can suggest me something wrong..So I'm asking you: what kind of camera can I buy?What is the main brand for cams(Nikon,Panasonic,Canon etc.)? I won't spend much money 'cause I'm just a 17 year-old-girl and so I have to control this kind of expenditure.
I live in Italy so here we've got "Euro" ...I'd like to spend no more than 150 euro...I would like to know the main features I have to look for in a good and not so expensive camera!!Can someone suggest me?

PS.. It's not very accurate but I do this to give you an idea:
150 euro = 188 dollars

Thank you to everybody who's gonna answer me and sorry for my English!
