Electronics

I'm trying to buy a camera for under 70 dollars (maybe a 90) but I have no knowledge about good brands, pixels, optical zoom, stabilzation, LCD, vibraton and whatnot.

I don't want to spend money on somethng that I won't like later on so please help with your suggestions before I spend my money on other things.

I want it to be either dark purple, dark brown, dark something...I don't want the screen to be small. I want to be able to zoom nicely, I don't want it to be fat and I want the quality of the picture to be really good.

and I guess of a good brand, pixels, optical zoom, stabilization, LCD, vibraton and whatnot
UUO and that at night the pictures still look ok

Canon is the most well-known brand here, it's Ok as far as I know. Choose one in which it's easy to choose on what to zoom, I have one that can't do that and it's a nightmare to take pictures with a lot of objects.

You aren't going to get a great camera for that price, sorry. You can get some pretty good ones for about $100, Kodak seems to make the best in that price range, but if you spend a bit more the mid-range Nikon Cool Pix are a bit better, a bit slimmer, and come in quite a few colors.

Cannon makes some great cameras but just not really near what you seem to want to spend.

Much like Solumina said, you shouldn't even bother buying a 70$ camera. You're really better off kicking in the extra dough to get this or something similar:
