Digital Cameras Best Values
What is the best value in digital cameras?
Our Kodak EasyShare CX4230 is dead. It was a 2.0 megapixel camera and we have the docking station and the memory cards. I need to replace it and am not sure what to look at. This camera worked great and was easy to use. I liked the zoom on in but hated the delay from when I pressed the button till when the pictures was taken. Any suggestions? I’d prefer to keep in under $200. We are using it primarly to take pictures of our adorable and quick toddlers.
I LOVE my Canon PowerShot A620. It’s a 7.1 mp camera which takes awesome still shots, and just as awesome video. Great for home and everyday use. Easy to take on vacations and you can really take some artistic/creative photos too. A great all-around camera. My 35mm cameras are Canon too, and I still love and use it. Sony makes good stuff also.
I had a Sony, and I gave that to my daughter, and purchased the Canon PowerShot A610 for my teenage son. The Canon A610 is exactly like my A620, but is a 5 mp digital camera. They both take GREAT pictures, but my favorite thing about the camera, is the vari-angle LCD screen. It is very easy to use, and a camera you can grow with.
Our A610/A620 has a setting, call “kids&pets”. Typically you use these on the subjects that usually has a hard time keeping still. But I also use this setting when taking pictures of my soccer team during game play. I’ve also taken pictures of my kids, nieces and nephews jumping in the air, a la cheerleader jumps, with great results. Lag time is very, very, very minimal. (i.e. delay from pressing button to actual camera capturing the shot). This is just one of the many settings the camera has to offer and you can also manually set and program your own settings.
For ease of point and shoot, just choose the setting in which you’re taking pictures of, (i.e. indoor, outdoor, nighttime, portrait, fireworks, snow, beach, and ‘auto’ [automatic]), and it’ll adjust accordingly the proper exposure/settings. If you get more experience or for the experienced, you can manually choose exposure and settings like the old 35 mm.
I’m a bargain hunter. I purchased both NEW Canon this late spring 2006 on line. My son’s was under $200 and mine was $204. Just Google or Yahoo! Search any Canon model, and then see which merchant has the best price with those lowprice websites and order on-line. The price is waaaay better than going physically to the stores. If you need it right away, just upgrade the shipping. It’s still cheaper than buying at the stores. No matter what model camera you’re searching for, better prices are on-line.
I don’t know if you’ll find this model (A610) at the stores. They have newer models, the A630 (8mp) and the A640 (10mp), they boast more mega-pixels and ISO settings. But 5mp, more than suffices for most users. What I did was physically touched and feel the camera at the store, then go on-line to purchase. But if you prefer to purchase at the stores, some good places are Best Buy, Wal Mart and Target. Suprisingly enough, they have good selection at Wal-Mart and Target.
Here is the link if you’d like to check out the specs on these Canon cameras: http://www.usa.canon.com

While you’re searching on-line, you’ll also find many reviews on these cameras. All with many positives things to say about the camera. You’ll also find information on these cameras in Yahoo! Tech http://tech.yahoo.com/rc/digital-cameras…
Hope this helps in your hunt for a new digital camera!
