Ok here's the deal...

I been needed a new cam since my cuz went off to college and took mine, but i have been puttin it at the bottom of the "to do list". But now theAuto Show is here in Detroit and opens Sat so I need a cam for that. Then plus, I have been having a couple somewhat crazy/wild weekends that I wish I had acam to take pics of what went on....Plus my cousin is Manny Harris and I need a cam to take pics while at his games...

So Niketalk...please recommend me a Digital Cam thats not above $350, and have a Optical Zoom of 10x or MORE. Would like one that use SD cards(since I have amillion of them), but if not, I will just buy a xD card if I have to..

I cant buy a SLR since I will only use this cam every so often...

If you guys know one better and for a good price, or where I can get the 3rd one from TODAY in store for a cheaper price, Please let me know...


Please comment and help me NT

thanks
 
i agree. canon sd's are legit. their optical zoom is a lowly 3.8 but other than that, its perfect. they are tiny and compact and just a perfect pocket cam

id maybe even recommend the canon sx100. its a larger camera but has 10x zoom.

if you would have researched cameras first before making a new thread you'd know why canon is better.

See thats why I want one with 18x because I want to be able to zoom in on the person in the blue bentley down there on the bridge. LOL

big thanks...

Yeah right. Get something small.

That's a good point, but you will sacrifice some of the zoom. Go to Sony.com and look at some of their camera models. I recently copped a SonyDSC-T200. They have a less expensive model that is similar.

Don't get the new model thin Sonys, their picture quality sucks. Get the previous versions, not as cool, but cheaper and take better pics.
 
i was looking for a camera a little bit ago. i went with the canon sd630. i stayed away from the sony because of there damn memory card, and for first time useit was way to complicated . sometimes i think that i should have got the sd800 or whatever it was at the time but i really like the 3inch screen

I have did that toooo many times!!! The people there will just try to sell you anything to get that extra money on their check....


thats why I asked you guys!!
 
Canon PowerShot SD870 IS. 8MP.

It's one of their newest models (released in October 2007) and the picture quality for a point and shoot camera is AWESOME and probably the best of anyI've ever seen.

Everything about this camera is stunning.

I agree with cor23ey. I think the 850IS is better than the 870. I had the SD600 but was very unhappy with the picture quality. Pictures that looked ok in theviewfinder came out blurry. I have not had that problem with the 850. Very happy with the 850. Best camera I've ever own.

I just pick up a Canon SD1000 and couldn't have been more happier. I did my research and was so close in coppin a Sony Cybershot, but after hearing howCanon is the best in the bizz, I made the right decision.
 
i have an sd700 and i'd dropped it so many times and it has never given up on me. takes the same pics since the day i bought.
