Buying a new camera

Walked U · 05-27-2007, 02:35 PM

So anyways for months of putting this off, Im going to buy a new camera today or tomorrow after work.

I know shocking... hahah

I dont need anything intense, just a 200-300 dollar digital camera that takes decent video. (better than mine right now)

I was thinking about getting a Sony DSC W50 6.0 MP i believe, which ive seen the quality of the videos and I think they are pretty good.

But just wonder if anyone has another opinion. I would like it to have like a SD card for memory so i can just upload the videos/ pictures fast as possible.

Any info / suggestions would be helpful.

thanks in advanced.

I bought a Nikon S50 yesterday. It's very slim, 7.2mp and very capable. $299 but I think best buy has it for $269 right now...

I wanted a good quality point-and-shoot camera which would be very portable. I compared the other cameras on the market in the same price range and came to this one.

Other than that tho, go with Canon or Nikon and you'll be happy.

I will buy nothing but canon anymore, I love them. I have a Powershot SD500 7.1 megapixel. 3x optical zoom. I love it to death and takes pretty awesome video imo. You will not be disappointed

Go for a Canon SDXXX (go for the highest number in your price range).

They are easy to operate and make even the worst photographers look like a pro!

I have a Canon S3IS that takes great Video and Pics. Barely used it as I bought a Canon 5D with adjustable lens. If you want this, I will take offers.
