Digital cameras

[Mr Claude]

A friend of mine bugged me about what digi camera should he get , also I'm thinking of buying one in the near future(if I happen to stumble on some money and not spend it all foolishly ).I was thinking about prices and stuff, looking at a few charts on the net, so up to 400$ , at the most 500$ I'd be willing to spend lol but I'd thought I'd ask here also,it's good to ask people that used than just look at the numbers.
So what's the best digi camera considering dmg/pec ?errmm I mean price/performance

I think that my Sony Cybershot is a really good cam..around 300$ and 4 megapixels

I have a Fuji FinePix S5000, it's "Only" 3.2mp but it takes awesome pics, and it looks like a "real" camera.
It's one of the camera's that takes most pics on one set of batteries, i can take more than 500 pics with one set of batteries, and that is when using the LCD display, prolly around 1000 pics without using the LCD.

And it's got an awesome 10X optical zoom

Cool camera

Here's how it looks....

I just bought one a couple of weeks ago, sony cybershot. Its pretty good, and its currently the worlds smallest 7.2MP camera . Even tho i dont see any point in taking pictures that big.

Its a decent camera tho, and not too too pricey.

Have a Konika Minolta Dimage x50. The pictures are ok, nothing special. The best thing with it is the tiny size.

Really depends on what your planning to use it for.
For example I know that the Sony cam's that "medium level" to say it like that, is really trash when it comes to taking pics outside when its cold. Meaning that if you wanna catch the northern lightning on film Sony isnt the answer Dunno bout their higher-performance cams but then you also have to pay the higher price.

If you want it so you can take serious good pictures you should look around for a digital SLR with macrolenses.

If you just want one for home use, then Olympius cam's are a good choice. They have the most sold digitalcam on market, quality is fine and the price is fine.

I'm not at all a pro on this subject, but whatever you do get one with AT LEAST 4 mp's, if not more
I think ours was slightly less than $300... it's an Olympus (I happen to really like Olympus as far as regular cams go too) D-580... Has zoom, but I think the zoom could be better.
I wanted something with many features, so it's a nice choice.... it's all about how serious you are about digi photography of course and what you want the cam to have

I have a Casio QV-R40. Has 3x opitcal zoom and 4 mega pixels...bought it for around $250 a year ago
