Digital camera
 
I'm looking for a new 'point n' shoot' digital camera, any ideas? I'm just looking for something that will give a good picture.
A friend of mine has this camera he's looking to get rid of:

Thanks guys.

As opposed to a camera that does not give you a good picture? :D

E: Some more basic info is needed for me, or any of the real Xperts to give you some rec'ds:
-how much you wanna spend?
-snap shots, 4x6, bigger prints at a lab or WallyWorld, etc.?
-no snap shots and just into your hard drive?
-pocket sized/thin or palm sized, or bigger?
-are you photo knowledgeable, or you just wanna point and press the button?
-etc., lol!

-around 600
-most likely nothing bigger than 8x10, either print myself or wallworld etc...
-hard drive first, printing second
-kind of personal there, no? :rofl: I have one of thoss slim Sony's (T7?) and I take more pictures of my finger than anything else..:tsk:
-more just point and shoot

Thanks!

SD550. Works like a charm

I'll suggest Fuji FinePix S9000. It is in your range and is the best one available so far. I am really impresses with quality of pics and looks of the camera. Reviews are good too. It is 9MP and has 10X optical Zoom and costs $550.

Eric,
You can get rec'd to the end of the week, lol!

I've shot with a friend's Canon SD550: outstanding point&shoot very good CCD and quality...I agree w/Jaba and SG. If I was looking for a reasonably priced, non-gizmo'd to death cam., espc. for the non-SLR shooter, well under 4 bens, I'd pick that one.
My Qtr's up...

Both cameras look like good candidates. It would be hard to chose. So many choices. Somebody just pick one out for me! :rofl: :rofl:

I've always favored Nikon cameras, as their lenses are of high quality. For $600, I think you can find something online that has more than 5.1 megapixels.
