I'm looking for a camera...?


I'm looking for a camera...
Hi-

I am looking for a digital camera for my grandmother. She is still using her old film camera, and I am trying to get her upgraded.

Here is what I need in a camera:
-3.0+ in. lcd screen
-must take video with sound
-small compact or ultracompact - not SLR or DLSR
-at least 7 megapixels
-decent image quality
-decent in low light

I think that is about it. Please let me know if you can thing of any cameras that fit this. Thanks!! Or if you have questions, I will always answer.

Thanks again,
Tyler

Well, I think the Canon SD870, Canon SD790, or Canon SD750 K would fit everything you want. Their ISO are 1600 so it will do well in low light. They're all over 7.1 MP and have good reviews about image quality. They all have a movie mode with sound and amazingly, they all have a 3" LCD screen, however, keep in mind that since their LCD screen is 3" that they will not have an optical viewfinder. And they're all compact. But the only problem that I can see is the price. I don't know how much you're willing to spend on a camera. All 3 are over $200. The 870 is $300, the 790 is $400, and the 750 is $200. If you could add additional information on how much you would like the camera to be then I will try to look for another camera that you would like.

(For some odd reason, the silver one is cheaper than the black one for now. The price usually changes often, but with the newer Canon models, they won't get over $300 anymore)
Also, the SD870 is different from the other cameras because it has a 28mm lense which allows it to be a wide-angle lense that can fit more people or landscape into a picture.

If you like the Canon SD790 (It's one of the latest models by Canon so it'll have upgrades. Also, it has the most megapixels out of all the cameras so a more clearer picture when you enlarge pictures.) but you don't like the price, there's one thats almost the same, BUT it doesn't have a 3" LCD. It has a 2.5" LCD and also has an optical viewfinder for $50 less than the 790.

I hope this information helped you somehow. I relize I only used Canon cameras so that might be the reason they are a little pricey. So information about how much you're willing to pay and caring about what kind of brand you want the camera to be will be helpful. I'll check back on this question to see the additional information you add (if you add any). Also, I'll include the Circuit City website link for cameras if you would like to browse yourself.

Unless your grandmother has some advanced computer skills, any digital camera will be frustrating to her.

Look on this site and use the Features Search to find what you want ... http://www.dpreview.com

Add to your list a camera that uses SD memory cards ... they are the most used and thus least expensive and easiest to find.

Well im not sure if this is what you are actually looking for , but this camera works really good . It has a lot of features , the LCD screen is wide also . It is also 7.1 mega pixels . You should probably go check it out at the store if you like it or not , or whether it suits your grandma or not .
