I purchased a Casio Exilm Ex-Z1000 about 5 Months ago and have had an absolutely wonderful experience with it thus far. At around 249$ this camera is an Awsome buy. The quality of pictures that I have been able to take, has been comparable or better than those of any Huge cameras that my freinds own. All of the exilm series camera are small, easy to use, and have great quality. The one down side to such a small camera is the lack of major zoom. However the 3x Optical zoom has proven to be more than sufficiant for any every day shots. Due to the fact that the camera is 10.1 Megapixels, i was able to take a picture of a butterfly from about 4 feet away, then later zoom in using the camera's and cropping function, was able to see in clairity the individual hairs on his body. I have traveled to both Austrialia and the Bahamas with this camera and have yet to be dissapointed in any way. It uses SD memory cards, which are widely available and at a reasonable cost. I would suggest a 1gb or more card, just due to the fact that once you start taking pictures, you will not want to stop. I purchased the Sandisk Extreme III 1GB card, which allows me to take about 230 pictures. Another nice feature of the camera is the fact that you have a decent quality video feature built into it. While i wouldn't recomend recording your child's first steps with it, it's a great feature to have for everyday use. I will be glad to show you some examples of the photo's I have taken using this camera if you would like to contact me at [e-mail] I tell all of my freinds, about the nothing but wonder experience that i have had with this camera, i would certainly recommend this model. The image quality and convenience more than out weigh the lack optical zoom. I would personally recommend this camera if for no other reason than the convenience, being small allows you to have it with you and get a shot of something rare, as where the bulkier SLR cameras sit at home and collect dust. Hope this helps, Good Luck!

Everyone will be giving you good information, but it really does depend on a number of factors. What is your price range? Do you prefer any makes of camera? Is it for fun use or for a hobby? By answering these type of questions, you can build up an idea of the type and quality of camera you would like.
However, as a recommendation, i have recently purchased a Fuji Finepix S5600 zoom digital camera for approximately £230, and it has a very good specification.

If none of this helps, you could try popping into a shop called Jessops. They have got very helpful staff, and i am sure they will be able to assist in your purchace.

Buying a Digital camera is relative. Everyone has different tastes. Visit dpreview.com to check on the latest digital cameras. They have a very good review section which can help you decide.

Here are some basic criterias you should look into;
- At least 3-4 Megapixels
- Features
- Media type (common types are SD cards)
- Battery Life
- Size and portability

Good luck and enjoy!

Answer 5

Stick with Canon or Sony. (Nikon is good if you go up to a dSLR). STAY AWAY FROM SAMSUNG or any other off brand (Polaroid, etc). I'd also stay away from Casio/Kodak.

I wasn't even going to post until someone suggested Samsung. They make horrible cameras. I wouldn't buy a TV made by Canon and I'm surely not buying a digital camera made by Samsung...

Simply put Canon and Nikon are camera companies. They make cameras. Sony is an electronics company that happens to make digicams but they do a decent job of it. I've fallen out of favor with Nikon's point and shoot cameras. They make great dSLRs.

Answer 6

Canon PowerShot SD 600=very sharp photos. My camera Sony CyberShot DSC-H2= very sharp photos and lots of optical zoom at 12X; and Canon PowerShot S2 IS= very sharp photos + lots of zoom at 12X. Equally as sharp is Fugifilm FinePix S5200 plenty of zoom at 10X. Also Fugi a lot cheaper than the others. Don't forget there's the all important memory card or stick that must be bought.

Answer 7

Pick a camera with as many pixels as posible as that will give better images. The more pixels the less grainy the image. Then choose from how compact it is, the lense length for as a wide range of uses as possible. From wide angle to zoom, then how much you are prepared to spend, for example.
Pixels are like the dots that make up a newspaper picture, the finer they are the better quality the picture appears.

Answer 8

Panasonic DMC-TZ1. Excellent Camera with 10x optical zoom. Brilliant picture quality!

Answer 9

I recommend that you purchase an Olympus camera, it doesnt matter what type they all seem to be pretty good. They have such great quality when you upload it to your computer, the pictures are just so clear!!!.

Answer 10

I'm partial to Canon. Do a search on camera reviews and you find Canon rates right up there with Sony and others. I have a G3 as well as a Panasonic Lumix and wouldn't take anything for my Canon. Good luck in your search.
