We got our first digital camera last Christmas when I got one for my DD13 (we're slow, I know). We'd like to get another one, it doesn't work very well, but we wouldn't mind having two anyway. The big problem with it (it's a Canon 320 or something by the way, I know the number is in the 300s) is that when you try to take a pic with it somehow it moves and you can't get it to stay straight. It's extremely hard to get a picture, never mind a good picture. Plus, the picture quality isn't very good and it eats the batteries like crazy.

Any new camera suggetions? I'd like to get one that's a good value, instanlty takes a good picture, is fairly easy to use, and has some good features (black & white, color change, panoramic feature, etc). And by value I don't mean that it has to be cheap, I just don't want to spend a whole lot more than $350, $400. What will that money buy you? I would say something more on the professional/advanced side, but not to big. As long as it's not another toy type one (even the Canon wasn't supposed to be). Just need to be able to lug it around WDW next moth.

Thanks!
 
There are a lot of very knowledgeable photoraphers on there that are more than happy to share their knowledge. The link is below. Great People:thumbsup2
The Canon S5 seems to be a popular choice for what you are looking for and certainly within your price range mentioned. There are some great photos taken using this camera on there.

I didn't even know there was a photography board.:laughing:

I moved the thread over to that.
 

Just a quick suggestion from a non photo buff. I like taking pictures but I don't have to have the latest SLR. I want to point and shoot and have a nice photo.

We use a Nikon Coolpix. We absolutely love it and it didn't break the budget. I think it was between $200-$250. We took over 300 photos on our last trip and not one of them turned out bad.
 
Depending how much money you are looking to spend for a new camera my boyfriend bought a Nikon D50 ( I dont think they make them anymore but the D40 is good to) the pictures he took were amazing. He was able to get every detail on the castle. He captured alot of picture perfect moments as well. When we got home and developed the pictures everyone in the family said they were going to hire him as the photographer. The camera I believe ran him about 550 and he got his extra lenses but he loved the camera. So like I said I dont know what amount your looking to spend but if this is the amount its definitely a camera worth buying... Hope this helps... :)
