Anyone recommend a digital multimeter?

I've been using a 12 year old Analog from Radio shack and figure its about time.
Checking for resistance is always a headache because you need to take a known resistor and adjust a dial on the side.
Also its in 1x, 10x and 1k x so checking for something around 500 is a death trap.
Also It has no continuity tone or anything. So when I check for shorts and grounds I have to carefully press the probes and then go look at the meter and see if its shooting to the side.
Which in some cases it still might even if theres something like less than 10ohms resistance.

Goes without saying, preferably not expensive. I'm not sure what normal range is.
