I'm looking at either a Canon or an Olympus, I prefer a good zoom, nice quality photos and good storage. I'm a digital media student, can anybody give me some information on some really nice digital cameras for around 300? I'd recommend the Canon PowerShot SD1000. Its a very slim camera size wise, with a 2.5 inch lcd screen on the back. Its got a 4x optical zoom and an automatic red eye reduction. That camera will actually only run you about 200 or so. If you wanted to spend closer to 300, go with the SD750, its the same camera, only with a 3 inch lcd screen. I'd recommend going to a store to see the difference the screen size makes. Also both of these camera's have a view finder, so if you're outside on a sunny day you can still take a great picture. CANON
All of the major brands are good. Choose a brand that appeals to you. Then you have to think about getting a spare battery, what size memory card, if you want an extended warranty, how much you can afford, what size zoom, if you want manual controls, the size of the camera, finding a reliable place to purchase it, and the list goes on and on and on.......
The first thing to realize is that almost any digital camera will take good pictures. If more people would read the manual more than once, they would be able to take better pictures. Usually, the person assumes it is the camera when it could be them not knowing exactly what to do. Just give yourself more photographic knowledge by doing more reading on the internet.
I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice.
The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras so they can decide on the features that they really want and need.
Go to the store and hold them so you can see if they feel comfortable in your hands. If possible, take some pictures in the store to check the quality of the pictures.
I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera.
Good Luck
