Anyone know a lot about digital cameras???

[reesecup]

Hi there. I am in the market for a new digital camera seing that mine just died on me. Does anyone know of a really good one that is not so extremely complicated to use? I was looking at the new Kodak easyshare-one camera. Anyone have this one and had a good experience with it??? Also does anyone know of where the best prices might be to get one? Thanks so much!

I suggest asking on the photography board here on the DIS. You will get lots of great information. I suggest doing a search there also since that question has been asked a few times.

Go with Olympus, they always have great, reliable cameras.

Try checking the reviews at http://www.dpreview.com/ . You can compare the feature of several cameras there.

I second the suggestion of visiting the Photography Board to get more experienced opinions.

The best place that I've dealt with for digital cameras and their supplies is BuyDig.com . They had the best price that I could find for my Kodak z740.

I like the Nikon Coolpix cameras. I recently upgraded to a digital SLR but still have my coolpix for times that I don't want to lug around the new one. I just bought my nephew a coolpix 4600 for Christmas. I bought mine from Ritz Camera as they usually have good prices there. They were running an online special of no shipping/no sales tax.

I recently received a Kodak z740 and I love it. It is easy to use and the pictures are very good. I have several digital cameras and like this one the best. It has great zoom capability and numerous settings (night, action, close up, etc.) I highly recommend it.

but for $200 or less, I'd recommend Fuji FinePix. Great little camera that's easy and works well.

The Kodak Easyshare works well and is very easy.

My personal recommendation is Olympus. I have a Camedia but it's a little more complicated and bulky; the stylus is great.

Good luck! Look for at least 4.0 megapixels and optical zoom [digital doesn't really matter].

We have a Kodak and it was reasonable and works well.
