I am looking to purhcase a digital camera so I can specfically take self portraits. I know many cameras offer timers but my photos will be heavily posed and such so I need to have the maximum amount of control from a distance.

I will not be purchasing a $500 camera so please keep a low budget in mind or at least bracket the information like under $200 or under $300 so I can understand the price points and what the additional price has to offer. I am expecting a camera at no less than 5 mp but at such a low budget I am not expecting a whole lot else….

The photos will range from studio photos, head shots, candids and such.

Is a digital SLR the only way to go or can this be done with a cheap digital point and shoot? Are there any with remote options?

If you have any technical tips for self portraiture please give them.
I am looking for specific makes and models of cameras that have remote capabilitiy.

10 seconds is not enough time- I need to have actual control of when teh photo is taken- not just a timing mechanism.

I have already looked around to find information about good self portraiture cameras but all the sights list cameras with too simplisitc timers and don’t give any useful information.

I have a pentax SLR film camera so I already know how to run manual settings. I am specifically looking for digital cameras that can be used from a distance.

The Nikon COOLPIX L100 puts the power of a 15x telephoto zoom into a compact, easy-to-use design. A wide variety of images can be captured with the COOLPIX L100 from wide angle scenes (28mm) to telephoto (420mm). Ideal for family sports or travel photography the COOLPIX L100 can shoot up to 30 consecutive pictures at 13 frames per second. With the new Scene Auto Selector, the COOLPIX L100 automatically selects the appropriate scene mode for best results.
