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

I've seen cameras that take crappy pictures, smart a$$....:rofl:

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.

Jaba said it above, get the Canon SD550. Sniff around this link for a bit :) LINK

Beach Camera has it for $352.00 shipped.

Canon SD450
 

I just found a great deal for you.

It's the Canon SD450:

It is being offered by Crutchfield

List price: $339.99
Price break: -$40.00
Promo: -$50.00 (Promo code # PA440)
Net price delivered: $249.99*
* Includes free shipping and a free camera case

The great thing about ordering from Crutchfield, is that they offer a 30 money back guarantee ;)

This is an awesome camera for the price, and will do just fine for blowing up to 8x10's

Speaking of Nikons, I've just bought my wife a Nikon Coolpix P1 for her birthday. She likes how it's very easy to grip and handle in her hands. I like the WiFi feature which is convenient when you have your laptop with you so you can download as soon as you take pictures. 2.5" screen is very bright and crisp and battery lasts fairly long...about 180 shots or so. Not to mention its 8MP. She's happy. :)

it's true...i just bought a canon powershot s80 for $414 equipped with 8.1 megapixels

Well, I like that s80. I also ran across a Sony DSC-N1 which is also 8.1 MP and I can get it for about the same price. I can also then keep all my memory sticks. :)
So it's either going to be the S80 or the DSC-N1 as of right now.
Thanks guys.

good point on the memory sticks..if u decide the s80 i'd recommend this retailer http://www.niceelectronics.com/digital/discr127406.htm

good price, good reviews, good service/fast shipping..they upgraded me to free 2day air shipping because i was a "new customer"...wonder what they'll give me once im a mvp customer...i'll be receiving it tommorow and i'll let you know how it is

FYI...Canon is a much better camera than the sony IMO

I've been itching to get a digicam for the last couple of months... looking at the SD550 and the Sony DSC-W7, which has the advantage of using AA batteries. Both get great reviews... I'll be interested to hear what you get, and how you like it. A lot of people here seem to go for the Canon!

i would get a canon rebel xt, which should be in the 6-700$ price range. i have the 20D and the pictures are ridiculous.

a good place to look up reviews are steve's digital camera web page, here is the link (he provides sample pictures too)
