Digital Cameras.....Advice?

Question

I need a user friendly Camera, preferably a Nikon or an Olympus. One that is friendly to teenagers with, a preferably adjustable shutter speed. I would like it to have around 7 megapixels, a high optical zoom and be lower than $250. If you have any reccomendations, they dont have to fit all of those requirements, I would really appreciate the advice and reccomendations.

Answer 1

Well, I'm partial to Nikon..They have always had a good product, even though in recent years they have switched to composite (plastic) materials.... However, so has everyone else... Anyway... are you planning on printing anything bigger than an 8 x 10? If you aren't you can go down a bit on the megapixels... 5 is good, not overkill....For $250 that won't get you much if you want to set your own shutter speed and high optical zoom... I would lean toward a beginner Nikon like the D50 I think it is... You don't have to get Nikon lenses you can use after market I like Sigma/Tamaron.... However, I've been out of the sales business for awhile- and digitals there's a new one practically everyday... So, I don't know how much help I've given you.... I would up my savings abit.. if you want to get something nice...
