honestly, I've been super impressed with my smartphone, it has an 8MP camera, it's a Samsung Galaxy II, 4G Epic Touch and takes HD video. The iPhone 4S also has a 8MP camera as well and takes just as great shots.
I think those are good solutions for cheap cameras that take pretty decent shots and go with you everywhere.

Don't think he wants to sign up for a 2 yr contract to take some pics... Lol but those are impressive for a camera phone..

well...I wouldn't either...but if I was in the market for a new phone soon then I would consider holding off on purchasing a cheap camera and just get a good smartphone with a good camera.
He said under blue LEDs...I'm pretty sure some actinics would freak a camera phone out. Simply put Shane, not sure you can. I don't have anything to test on yet (I will soon) but you need a camera advanced enough to let you mess with the color balance. Not even sure how to do that on my DSLR yet because I have not had to. When looking for a camera I quickly learned that anything 'decent' gets pricey, quick. Just like reefing!

A good entry level DSLR camera will run you around $500 to $700. You can always buy a camera. Take very good care of it, test it out and if you like it, keep it. If you don't, return it.Really the best thing to do is adjust the white balance in the camera. If that is not possible then sometimes you can mess with it in post processing. I use PSE9.
lol, mine are under LEDs and MH together.
Also my phone allows me to adjust the white balance, among other things like taking panoramo photos, ISO, metering, outdoor visibility, effects, resolution, anti-shake, guidelines, review, image quality, GPS atg, blink detection, auto contrast, timer, focus mode, scene mode, LED flash, self portrait....LOL! It's pretty sick.

sorry my 3 year old son says hi
Dang Rob who needs an expensive camera when you have a camera like that!!!Mine is pretty advanced too. Its impressive how far camera phones have come in the last decade.
This just comes down to what you want out of it. If you want sweet sweet detailed and advanced pictures and complete quality control you will have to spend a little bit of money for a quality camera. If you just want pics to get the point across and show some color use your camera phone. They do take decent pics but its a whole different ball game using a DSLR.
Here are some examples of a DSLR camera photo. The top 2 are under LED actinics.
