digital camera GUIDE
be sure to check titles on the left side
the guide should answer your questions We've had a lot of complaints about Windows Vista, so this is a good question. I would only accept an answer from someone who actually has the camera in question AND Windows Vista. (Nothing personal intended, Tom.) Casio Z75 or Z1050 is a great choice, nice and thin, lightweight, shoots photos and video with sound. Easy to use controls and a 2.5" screen to view.

Recommend a Scandisk memory card, about 2GB.
Check you Sunday paper for ad sales or coupons. The kind of digital camera you want to buy depends on the purpose and budget you set. Current digital camera may not be compatible with vista. However, manufacturers could have upgrades on their websites.
Nowadays, you can download your pictures directly into your PC from your memory card (if you have newer PC) or you can buy a card reader. That eliminates vista or non vista option. What is your budget? Do you consider lower end DSLR such as Nikon D40 type? or is it a pocket size camera?
My suggestion is get minimum 5 mega pixel with 4x optical zoom which is good for low light.
I have Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 has 10X is good for low light and I am happy with it. I own a DSLR and I use it as a back up or if I do not want to carry my DSLR.
Fujifilm FinePix F30 Zoom has 3x is good for low light The best camera for under $200 is the Canon A550
* 7.1 Megapixel
*4X Optical Zoom
* Very good photo quality, noise levels low through ISO 400 (in good light)
* Well built for the price
* Very good performance
* LCD visible in low light
* Some manual controls
* AF-assist lamp, good low light focusing
* Good movie and continuous shooting modes
* Impressive software bundle
* Uses AA batteries; great battery life
* USB 2.0 High Speed support Even though I personally own this camera, I would still like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 for the following reasons:
1. Besides taking well-exposed hi-quality 5 megapixel pictures, it uses a standard set of rechargeable double AA batteries which last a very long time;
2. Has a 3x optical zoom;
3. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
4. It's very small and light;
5. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards;
6. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
7. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
8. And the price is a mere $120 [sold at Samy's Camera - www.samys.com, and Staples.com.]
Good luck! |
