Just head up to Best Buy. Tell him you want a small sized camera, with decent features. He will set you up.

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 It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular.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 need a decent memory card, though. I'd say get at least 512 MB.

Answer 3

6 megapixels is a good minimum for most people.
Optical zoom of 3X, 4X, 6X or more.
Digital zoom is useless.
If you want a good compact camera with quality build and optics...then I recommend Canon (which is a quality name and the market leader).
Canon SD 600 or SD 630 (which are almost identical...both have 6mp and 4X optical). They are called Digital Ixus 60 & 65 in other countries.
The SD630 recently won a European award for 'Best Ultra Compact'. So, that tells you something.
Here's a quote from a well-known review site...
"Bottom line - The PowerShot SD630 is an outstanding camera that offers great image quality, robust performance, and various user-friendly exposure modes, all packed in an ultra-compact, durable and stylish shell. It's sure to make an excellent choice for any user in the market for an extremely pocketable, high resolution digicam. It offers good value for an "ultra-compact" 6-megapixel model. If you like the features of this camera, but don't need such a large LCD, be sure to check out the PowerShot SD600."
The Powershot A630 is the one to get if you want a slightly larger camera.
Don't forget to buy a fast SD card (I recommend a 1GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III, which have a lifetime warranty).

commonplace technological expertise did a "what's new" characteristic on cameras and rated the Panasonic DMC-FS20 (Lumix) a 7 out of 10. It focuses quickly and switches modes quickly and takes some great severe high quality photographs. Priced at $3 hundred (sorry i do no longer understand the united kingdom conversion). while you're keen to sacrifice some high quality for a greater low value direction some nikon Coolpix cameras could nicely be somewhat greater low value ($2 hundred-$250) and nevertheless have 8 megapixels for some great photos.

Answer 6

You can't go wrong with most of them. If you want to be able to take more pictures, get a camera with less MP (MegaPixels). If you want better quality, get more MPs in your cam. a lens is good, but only if you're going to be taking pictures of things that are far away. If you don't want a big camera, good news! They sell some that are nearly the size of the Motorola Razr. Be sure to get around a 256 or 512MB memory card for it. THat's the average amount you'll need.

Answer 7

check with consumer reports.
they have the best info and don't take advertiser money like some of the other magazines that rate.
you can get some info on the net or subscribe or get back copies at the library.

Answer 8

Canon Powershot S2 or S3. 5 mp 12X optical zoom. Just don't get caught up in the "More Mega-pixels-the-better" game. The main word being "CANON" *lol*

Answer 9

Research a bunch of cameras to make an

informed decision. This website is a great start...

Answer 10

Look for MegaPixels & Optical zoom- don't get this confused with digital zoom!

I like the Sony CyberShot, but of course if you need it for professional use then se need something with more MP & DZ.
