What is the best digital camera to get?

Report It

You are not going to find a tiny camera with a lot of zoom (the zoom is generally 3x), although you could find a tiny camera in your price range.
The cameras you are speaking of are generally 6 oz and yeah they don't have the kind of zoom you're looking for.
Go for a 12-oz camera and you will get better zoom.
Check out the Kodak EasyShare Z612 $230, it's easily one of the best. Has great zoom (12x), and you can keep clicking away without much lag. Check out Best Buy for the best deal.

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

well.....Sony is a good brand name and they have very stylish cameras you can buy them at Sam's Club for a VERY low price!!!!

Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS 7.1MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
$206.95 at amazon IS the best camera on the market right now. Its hard to find a good camera with high MP and a HIGH zoom x12 is GREAT

I have a Nikon coolpix which I love. It is small, maybe a little bigger than a credit card. The screen in big and you can zoom in really far. I just took mine to Hawaii and was able to zoom all the way to the USS Arizona Memorial from the shore and it was a perfect picture. It will set you back about $249 at Target I think but don't quote me on the price. Hope that helps.

sony...try sony cybershot dsc-t100..it has a 5x optical zoom
