I have never owned a digital camera, i have a chance of getting one for aeound 180 dollars, is it okay? I want the best quality i can get for that price and the best pictures i can get,or can anyone recommend a useful one? a lumix perhaps? In my opinion, there's two cameras that are worthwhile beginner cameras: Sony DSC-W55 and Casio EX-Z75.
Casio Pros:
Thinner
Bigger LCD
Uses SD Memory Cards
35 Best Shot Modes
Casio Cons:
No Viewfinder
Sony Pros:
Viewfinder
Sony Cons:
Takes Memory Sticks (More expensive than SD cards)
Only 4 or 5 best shot modes
Consider a Casio camera. Any camera can take great pictures if the owner knows how to use it well.

So in conclusion, Sonys are good cameras, but you pay a lot for the Sony name and there are better, cheaper cameras with the same quality on the market. It is a good camera. The only down side is that Sony uses their own proprietary memory card: Pro Duo. Basically, what that means for you is that if you ever get another camera down the line, you can't use the same memory card. Also, if you are ever going to use a card reader on your computer or bring your pictures to Walgreens or somewhere to get them printed, you must bring the adapter that comes with teh camera and/or the one that comes with the memory card. The memory card itself is too small to be read in a normal card read, so you have to put it into the adapter and then into the card reader. It is a good camera though. Its nice bc its relatively inexpensive AND it has a rechargeable battery and charger with it. For that price range, it is going to be your best option. yeah..sony is a good brand...i owned a sony cybershot dsc-t100 and it's good except sony brands uses a different type of a memory card which cost more... |
