I'm going to buy myself a digital camera with the money my parents are giving me for Epiphany. I've been looking at walmart.com for a couple mins and really don't know which one to pick. Do you guys have any suggestions? What should I look for ? *price must be 300 or less
For your price range you really leave nothing to get lol no offense. BUT! Here are two good cameras for your price range. Casio EX-Z600BK The EX-Z600 offers 6.0 megapixel high resolution photos in a stylish, compact, and pocket-sized package. The extra large 2.7-inch Super Bright LCD produces an impressive luminance of 1200 candelas per square meter. This significant advancement makes the LCD easier to see, especially when viewed in the sunny outdoors. In auto mode, the LCD automatically adjusts to the brightness of the surrounding environment. The EX-Z600’s Super Life Battery now has an even longer battery life, supporting a staggering 550 shots per charge.

meh...You dont just look at the 6MP sign and say ooo its high i get it You look at the shoot modes , focus , size of digi screen , connectivity , can you override the automatic settings ie change the focus and aperture settings Ive done all this - Got a module dealing with photography - lol in my Multimedia Computing course Anyways from those 2 digicams ... I choose the Pentax brand --- Photography reputation Higher pixel count Weighs less Can go to a higher lens aperture - Casio has 2.7-4.3 whereas Pentax 2.7-5.2 Higher internal memory - 23mb compared to 8mb approx Thats all I can say for these 2 However, keep in mind the MP dont mean jack if the lens and focus cant do anything - Also the extra features like modes and larger screensize [drains batteries] etc is a plus Ill say the good digicams come from Fujifilm , Pentax , Olympus , Canon and a few others - But these are the major brands Hope it helps - Need more just post DarkStar
