digi's

[mt.biker]

I'm looking for a digi camera that isn't to pricey and still takes a good photo. Right now i'm probably toping out @$400 CAD for the camera + whatever the memory costs (not really a factor). So that works out to just under $300 USD for a camera, what should I be looking for in this camera? Anyone have one they love? No what makes a good one great?

I'm looking for some real answers here, I too can surf the net and read reviews but i'm looking for more then that. I'm going to be getting this for Christmas and dont' really want to be buying another one 4 months down the road because I didnt know what i was buying.

So lets hear it.

Cheers big ears,

Rob

Hey Rob...I say if you're looking for a good quality digital cam go with Sony....you won't be disappointed....

:yes: My family has a nice Olympus (over the price range though), and I like it a lot. Nice quality.

I'm thinking of getting this. It appears to have the most features of any camera under $400 Canadian and is 2.0mega pixels.

when i did my research i came up with the canon or the olympus model your gonna be getting. But i was informed that canon as a better lens.

Isn't 2 megapixels a little weak these days? I know resolution isn't everything (we're already talking high res), but just curious.

'
its good up to 8X10inches

and more to the point i want a cheap way to find out if i'm still into takin pictures. i dont want to spend big $$ right up front to find out i dont like it after all.

Trev is right, 2.0 is really old and the clarity wont be as good..

You could get a 3.0 for around 300..
