What is a good digital camara to buy ?

Question

I Cant afford the most expensive ones but I can probably afford a mid range one .........I want good quality pictures of course , but I have no idea what to get as I've never owned a digital Camera before, it's getting harder to find shops that sell rolls of film for my other camera

Answer 1

I am happy with a $100 Kodak digital camera. It's easy to use, even I could figure it out. It's not a bad camera to start with, learn how to use and maybe upgrade later. I first bought a Sony for $250, but it was so complicated I couldn't even figure out how to get one stupid picture out of the thing. The Kodak is simple and even a dummy like me can figure it out and get stuff to print and on the computer and all over the place!

Answer 2

Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists. It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular. The A640 appears quite similar and shares the "600" series numbering, so I guess it's just another upgraded version of the now-classic A620. It looks pretty much the same except for baing a 10 MP camera. The continuous drive is a little slower, but the files are larger, so that's no surprise. I own a few Nikon DSLR's and I'd buy the Canon A630 or A640 for myself.

With this camera, you will find the memory card is a cute little token of thanks from Canon, but not much more. Buy a 1 GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III card. You will NEED the increased capacity and write speed to fully realize the benefits of your camera.

If you want to trim the budget a little, the Canon Powershot A430, A530 or A540, are all great choices. You will still need a decent memory card as discussed above, though.
