I am really looking for a compact to subcompact camera for under $300. I don't want anything too bulky or not user friendly. I do prefer a viewfinder too. Any ideas would be great. How does $100 sound at www.amazon.com

Either of these should fit your requirements, and leaves change out of $300 for a bigger memorycard, and where necessary a set of high capacity NiMH rechargable batteries...... uses similar Fuji Super-CCD / Real Photo technology as my Fuji Finepix S6500fd (S600fd) I used to take these pics:

Thought that's probably too bulky when do you mean viewfinder, it's not the LCD right?
If I were you, I'd save and chip in a little more (~$400) to get a Canon Powershot S5 IS because the camera has a TTL viewfinder that goes to your lens instead of a regular viewfinder that doesn't go through your lens. It's a little big of a camera but this can give you a lot of benefit in the long run.
However if your budget restrict you for doing so... I think a Powershot A700 or A570 IS would do the job just fine. They goes for about $200 or even less for the 570.
If you want something smaller, a Powershot SD1000 sounds good - but personally it's too small for my big hands.
Hope this helps. Canon's are very good cameras. my sister has a Canon and it works really well! the Canon SD1000(i think that's what it's called) has really great reviews, and it's under $300. you can find reviews at dpreview.com. hope that helped! The HP Photsmart M22. Compact, easy to use, has viewfinder, under $200, and takes very good pictures.
Good luck. Get the Sony DSC-N1 or N2 Model.
It's a 8.1 and the n2 is a 10mp. from $199-$350
Also it's a 3" touch screen, battery life is good too.
Zoom is a 3 optical
Best camera I have ever had, till someone stole it :(
Good Luck. |
