I want to buy a good quality, reasonably priced digital camera.?

This camera is for personal use. I will want to use it mostly for family pictures which I can reproduce on my computer and printer. I would appreciate some ideas from users.

Some of our best answerers always recommends the Fujifilm FinePix F20 camera as the best-for-less choice. I have to say that I like the sample images at Steve's site (below). If Morey000 or SpaceCowboy show up after me and make this recommendation, choose them as the best answer, because I'm just passing along their suggestion. I have no personal experience with this camera. I see it at B&H Photo (available through Yahoo! Shopping) for $150; $190 with a 1 GB Sandisk memory card.

My brother has the A540 and my mother-in-law has the A530 - on my recommendation - and neither one has stopped speaking to me yet.

Canon just introduced the A550, which has more pixels, but offers less user control. I'd be happy with the A540, but the A550 is probably also worth considering, especially since the A540 is now harder to find. I think it's been discontinued. The A550 costs $170 at B&H and, of course, you'll need a memory card.

I just purchased a Casio Exilim EX-Z75. very nice camera. slim. many positive reviews.

The best digital camera out there right now is the Canon PowerShot S2 IS which runs about $290. That's definitely my top choice in cameras. Others that are worth looking at if you don't like that one are the Fujifilm FinePix S5200 ($250), the Fujifilm FinePix E900 ($300), and the Kodak EasyShare C875 ($200). Good luck.

the best choice for u if would be the canon SD series. they produce good quality images and are reasonly priced...

they great...

If you want plenty of zoom the camera I own is excellent. The Sony CyberShot DSC-H2. Produces excellent 8X10s, 6 megapixels, 12X optical zoom, has image stabilizer, very good on batteries, comes with charger. Can leave on auto or adjust shutter speed or aperture. Sells for about $280-
Another very good camera would be the Canon PowerShot A630. It's 8 megapixels, 4X optical zoom, excellent on battery life and also uses AA rechargeable. Check Website dpreview.com for reviews of many cameras.
Together with the Sony another good camera with lots of zoom is the Fujifilm FinePix S5200. My daughter owns it and it produces excellent 8X10s. It's 5 megapixels, 10X optical zoom, excellent on battery life, 1 second delay between shots.

I will keep it simple. Get the CASIO EXILIM! I looked around and tried many digital cameras(non SLR), and I found that the Casio was the best. I always get good compliments on the camera and pictures it produces. They are reasonable priced around $250-$300. Any Casio Exilim is a great camera. Good Luck!
