Need a digital camera recommendation
« on: August 21, 2008, 08:42:12 AM »
I woke up this morning to find my digital camera on the ground.  When I turned it on,  I got a focus error and the zoom (lens that sticks out of camera) is now stuck... even when I turn the camera off., it doesn't go back in the camera.  What a shame too :(, I would like a light camera that can easily fit in my pocket.  If it also has a feature that tells you if the pic is good, that would be great.  On my camera, I would take a pic, then upload it, only to find out that the pic was blurry.  It was very annoying lol.

Price range = $200 and down. can stretch a little over 200 if the camera is really awesome.

Spend the bucks and get an Olympus Stylus 850SW ~$235.  I've had three Olympus digitals and they are great.  Each purchase was an upgrade, not a replacement because of defects.  I still have all three and they still work great.

How does the focus feature work on it?  On my camera I had to hold the button down 1/2 way until it beeped.

Does that camera also have an indicator telling you if the pic turned out to be good or bad?  My camera didn't and even when I looked at the screen, I couldn't tell if it was bad or not until I uploaded it.  I know some kodak camera had that feature, it would light up red if the pic was crap and green if it was good, but it was bulky.

My wife and I have been really happy with the Casio Elixm.  I think you can get the 10.1 megapixel for about $225.
