I need help buying a digital camera
I'm looking to get a digital camera before my first Vegas trip later this week.
I want something that can easily fit in my front pocket. 4-6 megapixel, around $300-$400, probably a Canon. My current pick is the PowerShot S500. I know very little about digital cameras, so I'd appreciate any advice. |

Re: I need help buying a digital camera
I just got the Canon SD300 for Christmas and I love it. I am no photographer but it's a great little camera for what I use it for. 4.0 megapixel, 3.0 optical zoom, 3.6 digital zoom, good movie capibility, and a 2 inch LCD (pretty big for the size of the camera.)
The main reason I chose this camera is it's size. There are many digital cameras out there that have more megapixels, and a bigger screen but this thing fits in any pocket and looks cool at the same time. http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/con...;modelid=10599 |

Re: I need help buying a digital camera
be sure and buy more ram for it. i bought my wife the kodac easyshare cx7330 for christmas. it has 3.1 megapixels and fits in your pocket(barely). it was 175$ plus i paid 70$ for 512 mb of ram. now it holds about 500 pictures instead of about 20. after buying a nice carrying case my total walkout price was 305$. i was mainly after an easy to use camera with good quality pictures. the pictures are very good and it took 10 minutes to learn to use it. i am very satisfied withit.
ps:dont forget to get a battery recharger set when you buy your camera. i got one of these as well in that total price of 305$. |

This may be too much information, but this website provides evaluations, reviews, and sample pictures.

I got the same camera for the exact same reasons and I like it a lot.

Re: I need help buying a digital camera
I did a lot of research before going in on the Olympus Stylus 410 with my mom for my sister's birthday last summer. I don't remember exactly what it was that made this my choice, but it's a great camera, it's small, hardy, and takes great pictures. It was clearly the best for the money at the time. I'd imagine either it, or if there's a newer version now, would be at least something to look at.
