Answer 1

Like the guy said, no cameras have that much internal memory, plus its usually only used to store user setting in camera not to store pictures.

Here are a few choices:

Slim and Small- No limit- Canon SD900
Slim and Small- $300-400 limit Canon SD800 IS (Has Imagine Stablization)
Slim and Small- $200-$300 limit- SD600 6MP

Ultrazoom- Canon S3IS (Has Imagine Stablization) 12X optical 6MP

Budget Camera- No limit- Canon A640 10MP 4X Optical Zoom
Budget Camera- Less than $300- Canon A630 8MP 4X Optical Zoom

Enutheist Camera- No Limit- ($500+) Canon G7 10MP 6X Optical Zoom

SLR- No Limit- Canon Mk-II $5000 w/o lens
SLR- $3000 - Canon 5D Full Sensor
SLR- Budget - Canon 30D
SLR- Below $1000 w/ lens kit - Canon Rebel XTi

Just depends on what you need. For a general all purpose camera, the Canon A640 is one of the best. It has great imagine quality and i think has the most bang for your buck. There is also compact pocket size cameras but your paying for the size and not imagine quality. The imagine quality is usuable by most standards but remember it aint no camera your hopeing to sell pictures with. I own the SD700IS from Canon, I love it. I take it everywhere with my Rebel XTi just incase i need back up (even though the SD700 cant compare to the XTi). The pictures are great for a family slideshow but dont plan on going WOW. The SD series are mainly for convience so that you can slip it easly in a pocket or purse without worring too much about space it takes up. The A series are more based on imagine quality in a small size, but it wont fit in your pocket, trust me.

Well, I can tell you this, a couple of years ago, my hubby and I were shopping around all the town to find a good/good price camera and we asked many questions and they all came up to this one, the PANASONIC DMC's. Even some of the salesmen and women we met were actually photograph students and said it was that one they found to be as good and some times even better than the ones that are over 1 or 2 thousand $. And it was not a sales pitch because it was not the most expensive. Actually those cameras are so good and so cheap for the quality that many photographers use t hem because of the quality of the lens and many features.

If I were you, I'd look around for those models and I hear the new ones (DMC) are even better than the one I have.

Answer 4

Hello. No digital camera will have that kind of internal memory capacity. I would recommend getting the Panasonic DMC-LZ7K with 7.2mp, 6x optical zoom, has optical image stabilization, and uses standard cheaper SD cards. I'd get it from www.bhphoto.com or www.adorama.com. Get a good large sd card to handle your video. I'm heading to DC in late May... and I'll have a new digicam myself. Good luck and do take care.
