ORCA Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 All my life i've had hand me down digi cams (still cameras) and have never been satisfied with the pictures they take. I probably could mess with the settings to get better results but I don't have the time or know how to really do that. Can anyone out there recommend (dare I say it?) a point-n-shoot camera? My price range would be between 200-300 but I could shell out alittle more if it's the difference between a lame and awesome camera. I don't mean to call you out but LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW i've noticed your pictures are always crystal clear, regardless of conditions (sunny, indoor, action shot). What do you use? Any recommendations? Here's the only camera I've considered so far: Olympus Stylus 790SW. My roommate had it and it was amazing how water proof it was (he could drop it into a fish tank and take pictures under water with no problems). It appeals to me simply because of it's durability, which we all know the value of a good durable product. EDIT: I've seen the olympus retail for $240-270, which is right about where i'd like to be.

chicofuentes0224 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I like Cannon, but if the one you have up there is good and waterproof I'd get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sam Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 How about a used digital rebel? Got over 20000 images on mine and still climbing. Nothing beats a digital SLR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 How about a used digital rebel? Got over 20000 images on mine and still climbing. Nothing beats a digital SLR! those are pretty pricey aren't they? go to cnet.com, consumersearch.com, and photographyreview.com, that should give you more than enough info. i like consumersearch.com because it basically reads all the reviews out there for you and consolidates the overall rankings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brigarpeon Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Sony CYBERSHOT DP7200. Around $179.00 at Walmart. 7.2 pixel resolution, autofocus, AA battery powered, camera card. You can spend alittle more for a battery charge pack model, I would also reccomend buying a bigger memory card like 2 Gig, I believe the one that comes with is only 56 meg, about 16 pictures.

BLHTAZ Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I have been very happy with my Fuji FinePix S700 so far. It has a fully automatic mode, but also has a lot of user adjustable options if you care to learn them. I got it because it was in my price range at the time and I wanted the added adjustability to get shots the the auto mode just won't do like this...

Eagle Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Canon A-series. Mine is a PowerShot A-580, but I think they are now selling the A-680. Should cost you about $189 at Wal-Mart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
