Hmmm, got my half year bonus thru work. Thinkin i might drop a bit of it on a digi cam. I looked into digi cams like 3 years ago. Anyone know whats up in the world of digi cams, or who's above the rest in the runnings?


Probably spend $200-$300 most likely, but may go higher or lower as needed. Doesn't need to be great, just for taking pics here n there...party'n around kinda stuff.

 

I've owned two SONY Cyber Shot camera's and they both take phenomenal pictures. Otherwise Olypmus and Kodak make some very sweet little digi cams!

 

for that price range look at the nikomn coolpix 4600 4.1 3 optical and 4 digtal zooms in camera red eye fix as well

 

I've owned the Sony DSC-92, DSC-W1, DSC-W5, and currently use the DSC-W7.
I have been extremely happy with all and have never taken a bad picture. I have been very impressed with the features, the quickness that you can make changes to adapt to the light/conditions, and the trueness of colour.
Quick time between shots and a good flash also.
I bought the DSC-W5 for my mom and she loves it also. She was used to using her $3500 Nikon setup but in the digital realm she has been very pleased with the Sony.

 

I have 4 family members that have sony cybershots and I don't like the quality one bit... Get a Kodak Z740 there on for like 450 at fs or was anyway....10x optical.. 32 meg internal.. pretty sweet, I have the DX7590 and it's sweet only diff from that camera to mine is pict bridge..

I had a new Hp M22 camera that was 4mp... and the quality was worse then my old Samsung Digimax 2mp from like 5 years ago...You've really gotta play around with them and check reviews before you buy... One thing I find stay away from camera's that use AA batteries they seem to eat away at them faster then the lith battery packs...With my Kodak Dx7590 I can get like 250 shots off before my battery drains on me... Or if you do get AA use Nimh batts high MAh possible then it might be comparable.

What did you not like about the SONY's? Every picture I have taken has turned out crisp, clear and totally perfect. My GF has one as well which works the same as mine too.

 

Canons are the best bar none...

I have the G3, G5 and the EOS.
