what is a good digital camera brand that is 100-250 dollars?

Answer 1

I would look into the sony cybershot dsc-w55. Or a canon powershot camera. They seem really reliable. You can look at good cameras at cnet.com.

Answer 2

Well, its too bad you want to stay away from Nikkons because they're one of the better cameras out there. Any Camera now adays if you drop it, it's toast. My Aunt had a Canon A590 and dropped it, useless. My Dad even has a Pentax Digital SLR, he dropped it, and bam toast... so if your reasoning to not get a nikkon is that you found it too fragile, then whatever camera you buy make sure you hold onto for dear life and wrap in bubble wrap otherwise you'll run out of brands if you drop them. For less than $400, sadly you wont get anything spectacular. There are a few cameras around the $250-350 mark that may be decent such as the Canon Powershot G9. But there are many other factors you need to consider. are you going to be printing photos larger than 8x10? Are you looking for a camera with fast shutter speeds Do you want AA batteries or a rechargeable batt pack which media (SD, xD, mem stick) Is this camera being used indoor and outdoor? do you want an optical view finder how large of a zoom do you want?

Answer 3

There are several. There really are 3 classes of digital cameras, the consumer view finder units that sell for $350 on down and the prosumer SLR and DSLR units that go for $1000 and on down. Last are the professional units that cost over $1000 and on up. For those in Reolinda, the difference between a digital SLR and DSLR camera is the fact that the SLR's have a mirror just like their film counterparts, where as the DSLR's use a small TV like screen in the viewfinder to echo what the lens is looking at. Your best option for a low end consumer camera is to try one. It is more a case of your comfort holding it, viewing it and using it than a question of "best". The consumer level cameras will all take good snapshots but are not much good for serious work. The two main issues is between the ones that have a small viewfinder window that you can view the shot through rather than trying to move the whole camera around to frame the shot on a larger LCD screen, which by the way, is almost useless out doors.

Answer 4

Generally, the Canon A-series is the best choice. Uses SD memory, which is used across brands (unlike Sony's memory stick, which locks you into Sony). The A570 IS has image stabilization. See the link below for a good list of cameras to consider.

Answer 5

Canon.
I am an avid photographer and the only brand camera I recommend is Canon.

Some of my friends like Nikon as well, so you can look at those camera's too.

FUJI...... started using their Super-CCD / Real photo technology originating from their once top of the range S3 Pro Digital SLR in some of their lesser cameras.

Cannon is probably the most reliable camera. My sister and I both have different versions of the Cannon Power-shot, and they both work great. You should be able to find a version that fits your needs
