I wish to buy my 3 year old a point and shoot that has a LCD screen on it so he can take pictures on our vacation. I have always been a value for the number of dollars type, but this has to be put in the context of 3 year old with first camera! I do need USB connectivity so he can see his pics on the computer and I don't want something that is all fuzzy and eats batteries. What is the best camera deal I can get for under $90 right now?

Hard to say. A 3yo will have trouble holding any modern ps camera if only for its size. I bought my 8yo sister one of the $20-30 cameras from walmart and she had tons of fun with it. However... it is total garbage. More of a portable webcam if you get my drift.
I later purchased an A470 for her. It's just a about $90 and very good. She enjoys the video feature. It is not garbage.

use bing to take it down to 76.69
It's OOS at the moment... but you can find it elsewhere for about $90

Do you Know Detail About LCD
A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat panel used for electronically displaying information such as text, images, and moving pictures. Its uses include monitors for computers, televisions, instrument panels, and other devices ranging from aircraft cockpit displays, to every-day consumer devices such as video players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones. Among its major features are its lightweight construction, its portability, and its ability to be produced in much larger screen sizes than are practical for the construction of cathode ray tube (CRT) display technology. Its low electrical power consumption enables it to be used in battery-powered electronic equipment. It is an electronically-modulated optical device made up of any number of pixels filled with liquid crystals and arrayed in front of a light source (backlight) or reflector to produce images in color or monochrome. The earliest discoveries leading to the development of LCD technology date from 1888. By 2008, worldwide sales of televisions with LCD screens had surpassed the sale of CRT units.
