I want to buy a digital camera. how do i know which is best when everything is the same.?

i am a novice.
walmart has sevral advertised all at same price and same features.
which is better sanyo vpc-s500p, hp m437, or samsung s630r.
please no websites.

Among this group of 3, I'd choose the Samsung. For about the same price, you might still find a Canon Powershot A540, which is closing out right now. I saw one for $139.99 in a local WalMart this weekend. The A540 is being replaced by the A550, which is a good camera, but might cost more than you want to spend.

Thanks. One thing that I do try to do is to stick to the question! Report It

my suggestion
go to yahoo shopping
digital cameras
digital camera GUIDE
be sure to check titles on the left side
the guide should answer your questions

plus it is an individual choice

If I were you I would go with the the one you find the
easiest to use. If they have them on display, then play with them a little. In the end I think for you the brand won't matter too much as they all take good photos. I personally bought a hp and it works great. I also got the photo printer that came with it as it was a good deal to buy the combo !
Hope that helps !

The best thing to do is see for yourself. Go to the camera shop and take a look at all the cameras you mentioned. Even if the features are virtually identical,you may find one that is more user-friendly than the others. You may prefer the feel of one of the cameras more than the others : a camera must be comfortable to hold and operate. You will probably find that you will be able to choose more easily after handling the various makes and models yourself. One will "jump out" at you and you'll know you've made the right choice.

Buy the one that you think is easy to use.
