I am thinking about buying a Digital camera. Could people give me suggestions of models that would be worth looking into?

Ernesto · 04-13-2004, 02:12 PM

i got this one, it works pretty good! and it has a phone attached to it!!

theDeBaucher(Y) · 04-13-2004, 03:22 PM

what price range are you looking in to?

::blazed jae:: · 04-13-2004, 04:22 PM

Nikons are good, I have an older model (CoolPix 775) and it still works great.

HappyMan · 04-16-2004, 01:40 PM

Up to about $350-400.....that is my price range.

*cracks knuckles*

Cell phone cams barely break the 1 MP mark. I could find better real-life pictures in artwork. [/sarcasm]

There are two brands I highly recommend: Olympus and Kodak. Both of them are long-time camera producers and they know what they're doing. I can't recommend Sony, HP, or Canon because I know they have some motion and and photo lighting problems. Olympus strengths are that they're compact and you really get quality for what you buy, but you do pay for what you buy. Entry-level Olympus cameras took some of the sharpest photos I've ever seen and their multifunctions (C and D models, I think) handle very well. Kodak has the lowest digital camera prices on the market, hands-down, and you pay $100 less for Kodak than you would with the same technology by any other company. I myself own a CX4310 which is a 3.2 MP point-and-shoot that works nicely for what I use it for, and cost $250. My parents own a DX6440 which is a 5 MP multifunction that takes some incredible photos, and costs $350.

Thank you......I may be making a purchase tomorow.

Your best bet is to get an idea of what model of cammeras that you might want to buy, after you get an idea of what you want go to froogle.com and find the best price on those models. Then you might want to go to the store and play around with them and see if you like the form factor and check out all the features. Then after you pick one just go online and buy it because thats where you will probably find the best deal. Another thing you really need to do is read a bunch of differnt reviews on the model before you purchase.

Thanks everyone, I ordered a Kodak tonight, I'll post my opinion of the SOB when it comes in.

What are the specs?
I went out and bought an $800 Sony Mavica 3.5 mega pixels with all the bells and whistles just to find out that the cheaper models work better then the fancy ones.
IMO digital cameras suck because you practically have to be a professional photographer to take a picture that is half-decent. You will probably have to invest some money on a photo enhancer to go along with your new Digital Camera.
In addition, if you plan to take a lot of pictures and don’t want to keep having to load and reload the memory stick every time you take three pictures, you might want to invest a little extra money and buy one that uses a floppy disc that has a lot of memory, instead of a mem stick. (IMO the using a floppy is better)
