i am looking for a slim camera that has good zoom and has a great price. durability would b good too. thannks a bunch!
-KMD AHH 27!!! There are 4 models that you can choose from. Each have their own strength and weaknesses but they are all of slim design. They are all canon digital cameras. The features you desire depend on you and I'm assuming price is not an issue for you.
950 IS
870 IS
850 IS
800 IS
Each of them have image stabilization which is a very important feature (thus the IS on the end of their names). If you take a pic and move a smidgen this will ensure that the pic doesn't have that smeared look.
Canon is the best manufacturer for slimly designed digital cameras. Don't buy any other brand.
Here's a website that has galleries of pics taken from almost all models of cameras.
http://www.dpreview.com/ im not sure but i can almost guarantee that any sony or canon slim camera will be awesome! Sony Cybershot DSC - Txx series =) All of the major brands are good. Choose a brand that appeals to you. Then you have to think about getting a spare battery, what size memory card, if you want an extended warranty, how much you can afford, what size zoom, if you want manual controls, the size of the camera, finding a reliable place to purchase it, and the list goes on and on and on.......
The first thing to realize is that almost any digital camera will take good pictures. If more people would read the manual more than once, they would be able to take better pictures. Usually, the person assumes it is the camera when it could be them not knowing exactly what to do. Just give yourself more photographic knowledge by doing more reading on the internet.
I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice.
The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras so they can decide on the features that they really want and need.
Go to the store and hold them so you can see if they feel comfortable in your hands. If possible, take some pictures in the store to check the quality of the pictures.
I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera.
Good Luck
