Since technology changes every minute.....
Im looking at buying a digital camera. Im just researching some now. However, I am looking for something good and is capable of taking quick shots. Some cameras seem to take forever from the time you click until the photo is actually taken. I am not a phot buff, but I am looking for a decent camera. I would prefer not to spend over $250 (as I have seen many under that price range).
Any suggestions? Anyones to stay away from? |

| While you will certainly receive lots of good advice from these kind folks, I would suggest checking out some reviews and ratings on CNET.com before making your choice. They usually give a pretty detailed explanation of why or why not the camera is quality as well. |

I have been checking on a bunch of Digital Camera review sites.
Here are some im looking at that are roughly in my price range, I like the optical Zoom:
Canon Powershot A720 IS
8 megapixels; 6x optical zoom / 4x digital zoom; Lens-shift image stabilization; JPEG file format; Movie mode with sound; Auto and manual focus; Auto and manual exposure; ISO 80-1600; 2.5-inch LCD display; Secure Digital memory storage (16MB card included); 2 AA batteries....
Canon Powershot A650 IS
12 megapixels; 6x optical zoom / 4x digital zoom; Lens-shift image stabilization; JPEG file format; Movie mode with sound; Auto and manual focus; Auto and manual exposure; ISO 80-1600; 2.5-inch swivel LCD display; Secure Digital memory storage (32MB card included); 4 AA batteries.... |

| I personally don't like camera's that use AA-batteries... I don't see why they can't switch to the lithium-ion battery packs that the slim camera's use? Even if the battery pack itself had to be slightly bigger... I would much prefer to use that. |

Post whoring will get you nowhere...
Anyway. The reason it died is due to the fact that I had mine on backorder since it came out :P |

The manual doesnt mean shit you idiot. Oh my manual says it's the best camera in the world... if it's written on paper it must be true! Specs on paper doesnt account for real life performance.
My friend purchased a kodak easyshare the same time I purchased my SD850. After taking multiple pictures on a trip, we compared photos and the canon is the clear winner.
I think this noob deserves a ban for stupidity. |

I can't belive how easy it is to get banned around here.

Well... It would be like if somebody created a thread asking for "Moderately Priced Sports Car?" And people came in saying Corvette, GTR, WRX STI, etc etc etc
...and then you chimed in with "toyota corrola!"
Same deal here. |

You bite your dirty whore tongue!:mad:
I would recommend the Canon Powershot Digital Elph bodies as well. Don't bother trying to get the highest megapixel unless you plan on printing billboards. 12mp for 99.99% of camera users is purely for bragging rights and in no way guarantees better photos. My first digital about a decade ago was a 3.4mp and it did poster-size prints without any problems. Find yourself a solid 6-8mp Elph and you'll be very happy with it. They are compact, powerful, strong battery life and offer tons of shooting options if you want to get creative.
Oh, and for the record, Kodak has actually made some really good digitals in the past and still do. Just because you don't like the name doesn't mean their products are crap.
Head over to www.dpreview.com to check out more detailed reviews of cameras in your price range. Most cameras offer sample photos as well. |

Meh... No reason to ban here. A reccomendation was made and some people did not agree with it. |

My most recent digital camera purchase was a Canon Powershot SD1000
I'm very happy with it. |
