I had the olympus c3000 and it took nice still pictues but not candid. It seemed too slow. What do I look for when determining a digital cameras speed in capturing a spur of the moment photo like a 35mm. Something easy to use. I will spend up to 500$ I may want to print a photo up to 8.5x11 I guess Sony is the best A good Cannon will be fine. Canon PowerShot A620 Digital Camera. It has a good frame per second ratio. Continuous Shooting Speed 1.9 fps . Also 7.1 Megapixels, will print out your photo just fine.
You can get a good price for it at Wal-Mart or Best Buy ($400.00). Plus the SD memory cards for it are cheaper then any Sony brand. |
