I am looking to buy a digital camera any reccomendations?

You have to keep a couple of things in mind when looking for a digital camera. Mainly what will you be using it for, do you really need all of the bells and whistles, how much do want to spend, and does it need to be pocketsized or can it be a little more bulky.

Personally I have a Minolta Dimage Z1, it's a great camera and I can't complain. I purchased it reconditioned from the emilyandlilly store on ebay (great seller, I have purchased 3 cameras from them and highly recommend them - it's a good way to save a little money if you aren't looking for brand new).

So anyway... my recommendations...

3.2 - 4.0 mega pixels is good for most purposes, like your family photos etc, if your looking for more advanced purposes go with more mega pixels, the more the merry, but it will cost you

Look for Optical zoom, the digital zoom on a camera is the equivilant to blowing up an image on your computer and you lose quality. If you're planning on using the zoom feature ignore the digital and "max zoom" numbers and look at the number for the optical zoom as that will be the only one that really matters.

Other than those two items it's mostly about the features, do you want one that you can manually adjust the settings on (like an SLR), does it need video capability, type of memory card, viewing screen size, etc

As for the brand I suggest Minolta, Pentax, and Nikon.

Last but not least if you can't decide between a couple of cameras look up user reviews on sites like amazon.com, best buy, circuit city, zdnet, etc. Or plug in the name and model on google with the word review and do a search for reviews that way. ie - " "Minolta Dimage Z1" reviews ".

Good luck and happy shopping!

Yes- you should definately get a digital camera. They're very cool.

You need to think about what you're looking for, and what type.
Compact
Standard
Ultrazoom (usually 27-432mm)
DSLR

Sony Cybershot is a nice one

Depends on what you want to do with it and how much you want to spend. I suggest researching digital cameras on CNET. Link below.

I purchased a couple of years ago a sony cypershot. I did this after asking a friend of mine what I should look for in a camera. Turns out the camera I purchased was a later version of what he had. He told me get something with a removable memory stick, and make sure the rechargeable batteries are interchangeable as well. (for instance on mine, I can either use my rechargeable batteries, or use standard AA batteries.)

Ask the clerk if any models don't get condensation droplets on your pictures. That's the one you want.

Nikon has some fabulous ones. However, you need to get to a store and see what feels comfortable in your hand. Do you want to be able to change lenses? Or just a point and shoot. Shop around a LOT before you buy.

ok then i would definatley recomend u sony cyber shot 8.1MP...its really gr8 with an internal memory of 126mb.it gives good and clear pictures.also u can make a video of these snaps taken along with the inbuilt downloaded music.its better if u purchase an xtra memory of 526mb or whatever entirely ur choice...and also this camera comes with the touch screen panel enhancing its look.

Fujifilm Digital camera FinePix E550.
I have had mine for almost a year.and I love it! It take great pictures and it is very easy to use.

Canon, Point and Shoots are one of the top class!!!
Especially the digic two processors in them!

You have dozens to choose from. Canon, Fuji, Nikon, Panasonic, Sony all make highly rated digital cameras. To make the best choice you need to narrow the selection down to the features (eg., zoom, camera size, image stabilization, picture quality, etc) and price range that suit you best. A couple web sites have buying guides that allow you to check off the price and features that are important to you and then show you recommendations along with their review of the cameras. A good web site to do this search is www.dpreview.com. Click on their Buying Guide tab and then select Features Search.
I did this and ended up buying the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 which I think is an awesome camera for around $300. Figure on spending another $100 more for a few essential accessories like memory card, carrying case & spare battery.
Good Luck!!
