Digital Camera recommendation?

I'm in the market to buy a digital camera in the next couple of weeks. Any recommendation for a good one around $200-250, $300 max? Thanks! hug

The Nikon Coolpix line is fantastic. I've been using them for 4 years now. They have one in practically every price range, but I wouldnt go any less than 4 megapixel if you can find one within your price range.

I've got one by Panasonic, the Lumix line, and it's nice and compact and light and has a rechargeable battery. I just hate the anti-flash thing and the zoom sucks my ass.



(Similar to this one.)

My sister has a Canon and it takes really great photos, better than mind. It eats up batteries though, is quite heavy, and the memory cards hold almost no photos (whereas one of my cards holds over 1000 pictures!)

eek

I'm sorry I don't have model numbers or anything offhand, but I hope that helps you decide for the brand, anyway.

thumbs up!

goodluck!

Gateway has started selling digital cameras and you can get a 5.0 megapixel digital camera for less then $300. I bought a Gateway and Im very happy with the results.

Specifically check out this 4 mb camera with a free 128 mb card, tripod, battaries, and case that is $199 after mail in rebates. For the money you won't do better. I should say that this camera is the size of a traditional camera instead of the new mini ones, but I own it and I've taken some amazing photos with it

Check out the reviews on Download.com. I almost did a double take when I saw that gateway 5 megapixel camera for 299, but read the review on it....

Was it bad? I can't find the review on the site. I have the 4.0 megapixel camera and I'm very happy with it.

I didn't say video now, did I? But maybe I could capture some stills. At any rate -- stfu
