AJVDK Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 What kind are you looking for, point and shot, or SRL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonshine456 Posted July 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 what's srl? We got our first camera for a gift so I'm not familiar with digital camera lingo :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSM3KIDZ Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I've been real happy with Olympus (sp?). What kind did you have before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJVDK Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 SLR stands for single lens reflex. I have one Cannon EOS, and I also have and olympus. ( went to college for photograpghy and marketing) When it comes down to it you need to find a camers that is in your price range and easy to use, and meets your needs.) I have a 8.0 Megapixel and love it! Good luck on you camera shopping, and happy picture taking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonshine456 Posted July 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 We had a hewlett packard before. I want something under 200. It looks to me like the biggies you need to look at are the megapixels which I'm thinking 5 would be good for us and then definitely want to make sure it has optical zoom. Our old camera took forever to reset after you took a picture...is that how all digital cameras are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stace915 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Mine is a Kodak and is super easy to use, its 5.0 mega pixels and was around $200. Its not a fancy camera by any means but I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 You might want to look up cameras on a site like ePinions, where actual owners give their 2? worth on the cameras. I own two cameras--my first, an older kodak easy share--it's old, and slow. My new one is a Casio exlim 7.0 megapixels--very fast to reset between photos, and the batery is rechargeable and lasts longer than I expected. I added my own sd memory card and with that, can take a ton of really good quality photos and video.After you decide what you want to buy, consider using google's "froogle" search feature to find your best price.nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
