Digital Camera

slidewaysL28E · 06-01-2005, 12:43 PM

Im looking to buy a new digital camera, Im not too picky on the specifics. I just want something affordable, reliable, and above all something that wont break after three weeks. Im pretty much only going to use it to post pics online, and catch special moments. I've visited Best Buy a few times but, it seems like their cheapest camera is nearly $200. . . . anyone got any suggestions?

check out the kodak easyshare cameras at kodak.com. i have the cx6330 and love it. im not sure on the price though

hey you will want to get a camera with optical zoom not digital zoom digital just crops the image so it becomes pixelated and ruins the quallity of the pictures.

ya I know my parents bought a digital camera a few years ago but didn't do there research so it only has digital zoom. So I am also looking for a good high quality camera for cheap.

Just aboid Fujifilm, that's my opinion...
Canon and Nikon should do goood.

maxpayne_lhp · 06-02-2005, 09:42 AM

Well, dunno but my friends do not suggest me to purchase that.

1.) be sure to get optical zoom
2.) avoid fujifilm
3.) research. . .

My parents own three of these and are the best yet.

We had fuji and it wasnt too bad, I have Kodak easyshare and hate it.

Well I dunno but the prob is that it can't go with motion blur and night-time shoots, I can't catch even something moving or my friends in a lil' dim place...
Anyway, Slideway, hope that you'll pick up a good one

Look into the line of Cannon like the powershot series. Good prices and they have models for everything you want (or don't want). I use the powershot A70 but its old and I'm going to upgrade soon.
