鈾?What Are The Best Brands of Digital Cameras?

i am looking to buy a new camera and can't decide what the best brands are (for pic quality, memory, creative features, battery life). what are some of the better brands and why? would u mind recommending some cameras? my price range is $200-$300. thanks =)

When you start spending $230- and up the quality of camera is very high.If you get 20 answers 3/4 will swear by Canon. Canon makes great cameras, but I chose a Fuji and a Sony, equally as good as Canon if not better. A lot should depend on features on individual cameras.
So brands to consider would be Fuji, Nikon, Sony, Canon, and Panasonic.

cannon

Canon Ixus range...

I can't fault them

sony cybershot

.

Get a Kodak digital camera. I got one and i was very pleased with all the features you are looking for. Not that expensive, you could get a good one from inside your price range.
Good luck :)

always got on well with fuji

the type that have batteries that are simular to mobile phone batteries you will find they are much cheaper to run.

Canon is good, and the new Panasonic FZ18 is coming down in price. 18X zoom, 28 zoom set on 3 MP.

Kodak easy share c743 3x optical zoom and takes amazing clear pictures.

The best camera is the CANON. That is the best selling camera out right now. I recently got one for christmas and the guy that worked there told me that the CANON works very well.

I have found great satisfaction with Cannon from my customers.

digital camera GUIDE
be sure to check titles on the left side
the guide should answer your questions

Canon for sure!

Professional grade is JVC, then Sony

Cannon is good, JVC is better.

You might look at Canon (with one "n"!) as it's a leader in the consumer point & shoot range.

i have a centrions 7.0 mp its way better then my old fugi and this one came with 2 1 mb memmory cards ! it was 140 ish with taxt and shipping! the quality is just as good as my old 7.3 if not better. and it has MUCH better battery life. duracell rechargeables :)

I have a Sony DSC-W80. I got it at Circuit City, and I love that store because the sales associates really know what they're doing. They steered my towards this camera and I'm very happy with the purchase, it was $230, which is a lot to a 14-year-old on a babysitting salary, but I have yet to regret it.

The video mode is better than a camcorder, no lie. The sound is flawless and you can even adjust sound on the camera. The picture...never blurry or anything. The videos play on my 34" LCD with no fault! I'm totally taking advantage of this feature!

The pictures are almost too amazing for me. The camera is a 7.2 megapixel, but I set my picture quality to 5 megapixel because it takes up less space and the pictures turn out beautiful. The image stabilization works really well. I tested it by waving my camera back and forth in the air and randomly took shots without stopping my camera. The weren't the least bit blurry!

There are a few modes in this camera:

Auto Adjustment (For shooting with preset settings)
High Sensitivity (For Low Lighting)
Soft Snap (Adds soft background, good for taking pics of people.)
Twilight Portrait
Twilight
Landscape
Beach
Snow
Video
Prgram Auto (Allows more programming before taking the shot.)

Also, you can remove red-eye, crop the photo, and do a bunch of other editing right on the camera!

The lens is without flaw. I don't even need flash on my shots because the lens can take in enough light.

You can play slideshows on your camera WITH MUSIC!

There's so many things I like about this camera, I can't list them all. I love it so much. If you get this camera, you will not have regrets. It's only $230 max and worth the price. I have the pink one, but it comes in pink, silver, white, and black.

Also, it looks bulky in pictures but it is really small. A little thicker than a casio but less length and width.

Also, don't buy a camera that doesn't have a viewfinder. I was outside in the sun today and I couldn't see my screen! I love that this camera has a viewfinder!

The Only Cons:
*The battery takes 4.5 hours to charge (but it lasts a long time on full charge)
*Sony uses memory stick PRO DUO instead of SD cards, but Circuit City has a deal that when you buy this camera, you get a free 1GB card (which is all you need.)

I would reccomend this to anyone...it is really user friendly. Each setting you put it on show a description of what it is. Someone who has never used a digital camera could figure this out with ease!
