I need a new digital camera...

by **pjtaper** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 12:22 pm

My digital camera fell 2 feet from my computer desk onto the carpet and now the LCD screen is broken, SO...
I need to get a new camera... I'm not looking for anything too crazy, been looking around Overstock.com. I want to spend $100, since I break or lose my cameras quite often...
Anyone have any recommendations?

i don't really have a recomdation just an observation that might be something you wanna keep in mind
i hate that some dig cameras have that lul between photos while the camera 'saves' the pic before you can take your next pic

I'd stick to the more known brands. Cannon, Kodak, Sony, Panasonic (Lumix), etc.

i would look at slickdeals.net and fatwallet.com for the latest deals

when you find a brand/model google it with the word review

You might also look at getting one off Ebay. Cannon A550 or 560? Nice budget cameras, not sure if you can find one for $100 though.

Whatever you do, don't get a kodak zoom camera.
I thoroughly regret having bought it. The pics are ok, but it is really slow and it's HUGE. A real pain to carry around (although that might be why I haven't lost it yet in many years)

I'm a big fan of Olympus cameras... I've had a couple of those.

Check Buy.com too... they have good deals on electronics/technology

I know someone with a Sony and the photos are great. What does everyone think about a Sony Cybershot? The 7.2s are coming down in $.

Love,
Kat

i've had a sony for about 3 years.....5mp.....good daylight pic but lowlight pics aren't great.....i'm looking to upgrade and was considering canon.....my dad has one and the pics are great.....

I really don't like the flashes on Sony's. My old sony was horrible, and my boss bought a Sony for the office to use and the flash just sucks. It does the same thing as my 4 year old Sony does, makes weird "ghost" dots all over. They take great pics when the light is great though.

My best luck has been with my Cannon IS 1S, great camera for the price. But now I'm saving my pennies for a Digital SLR!

kat's right that prices are coming down

actually taper you might want to wait until black friday if you can

Thanks...how about the Nikon Coolpix 7.2s?

Anyone know about those?

Love,
Kat
