Digital Cameras

How much are you looking to spend and do you want a small digital camera that is portable etc?

You can always check out Cnet.com for the best reviews on them cause you can sort them out by pricing and megapixel size.

 

the throwdest cameras out there is the sony cybershots and them cannons

 

If you are just going to use it to send email, then megapixel digicam is just fine. But if you are going to use it for printing out pics also, I would suggest going with one that is 3Megapixel at the most and have some kind of optical zoom. you can easily get them pretty cheap, around less than $100. If you look on Ebay and get lucky, you may find one even less than that.

I bought a Toshiba 3MP with a 3x optical zoom for like $50 shipped last April.

 

Right now i have a Sony Cybershot t-1 and i am about to buy a Nikon Cool Pix 5700 from Comp since i have a friend working there to take better scenic shots or when i am at games since the t-1 is more for just going out and taking pics with friends and stuff like that.

Other than that i love the little t-1 it's amazing and i can take it anywhere.

 

I don't recommend anything less than 3MP.

I'm not endorsing this camera because I haven't done any research on it... but dang... 5MP for $249

OLYMPUS C-5000

 

Reveiews on it look pretty good for the most part.

make sure you get a camera with a rechargble li-ion battery
(lithium ion). those AA batteries sure do wear out fast otherwise.

 

elph all the way baby.

I've had one for about 3 years.
Super simple, small size, takes pics and movies.

The BEST ever!
You'll be happy if you get one.

Agreed; the T1 is unreal. Everybody I know is envious; it's amazing quality, but it's still a "point-and-shoot" but exceptional at that. It's honestly somewhat comparable to a professional camera since the quality is amazing. The video feature is so cool as well.

The flash is absolutely horrible when it's dark, but I rarely take night or poorly-lit shots.

Coincidentally, with the amateur "freelance" photography I've done with the yearbook here, I've used the Nikon 5700. It's truly a quality camera for professional use.

Now, the reason I wanted the Sony T1 was because it was small and lightweight so it fits in my pocket and goes everywhere I go (which definitely paid off when I met Shaq last month) and again the quality is superb. It's expensive but worth it if you want something small.

Anything above 3 MP is fantastic. Since 5 MP is becoming the "norm" for cameras, a high-quality 3 MP (Sony, Nikon, etc; depends on model) will be a lot cheaper on ebay.

 

No, as far as I know you need the card. It is where the digital pictures are stored. There generally isn't any memory on the camera itself - none that I've seen.
