Good Digital Camera

You may want to check out dpreview.com for some ideas. The more zoom the better in my opinion. I have a Panasonic ZS series that I like very much.

 

Unless Sony's have drastically changed in the past few years I'd stay away. They are generally a pain in the ass to use menu and function wise. (Like I said though that may have changed).

I personally like Canon cameras myself.

 

Might be a good idea to take a look at the new Panasonic Lumix digital camera's : )

 

this may sound stupid, but iPhone 4! I don't have one (tons of my family members have it), and everytime I see the images I am blown away. Some one published a book made up of images from the iPhone.

If you don't need a phone, I would look at either Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Oly, Pentax, Sony, etc. Sony makes CCd chips for most of the manufacturers anyways.

 

I've never had an iPhone, but I have the Samsung TL105 camera. It is a very good basic digital camera. It will not take quote on quote 'amazing' pictures, but the pictures are pretty decent.

The Canon Elph series always impresses me, and you can get last years model for around $100.

 

Canon Elph series is great. SEcond that.

 

That canon point and shoot series is an excellent choice!

 

If you're still looking, another website mentioned that the Canon SD1300is is on sale at Radio Shack for $69.97

 

It's an OK camera, good deal at $125 but not worth $300. A second hand Canon S90 would be my budget choice.

Hi All
I too am looking for a decent entry level digital camera. Problem is that many cameras don't seem software compatible with Mac computers. Or am I talking out of my rear?!
Cheers

Me again. Another poster mention the Lumix digital camera. Anybody used one of these? They look nice! http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/287246/index.html
Cheers

 

I would definitely recommend a canon powershot. the sd1400is is great and i heard the elph300 is amazing as well. both camera shoots on hd and the quality is amazing. definitely check those out if you have the chance

 

Take a look at the Lumix LX. It's got a Leica lens that's quite fast and it takes remarkable images.

 

I was always a Canon guy until I was recommended a Panasonic ZS7 last year. Went to Boston and New York with it last summer and was very impressed. It takes amazing pictures. That lead me to buy my brother-in-law a Panasonic for his trip to Europe. He really likes it as the Intelligent Auto function works well so that he doesn't have to know how to change settings to get the best pictures.
