| I agree. Get a Canon Powershot, whichever one is around your price range. |

| I got the canon powershot A560 and I love it, its a basic shoot and point camera. Amazon has it the cheapest for 129.99 no shipping or tax.

| Canon. I have an S3IS, which is the big point & shoot (not an SLR, not a compact) I would also recommend the smaller Canons.

| I just purchased a Kodak Z712-IS a few weeks ago. It's easy to use, good on batteries and takes great pictures in low light conditions.

| My Suggestions For a newbie with digital cameras, my first tip is to forget about digital zoom completely. It does nothing but make your pics blurry...turn that feature off if your camera allows. Concentrate on MP-megapixels-and optical zoom. I recently purchased another digital camera and these were my top picks after quite a bit of research. Panasonics have a great lens by Leica and it's hard to find many cameras with 10X opitcal zoom. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...activeda654-20 Another with superb zoom is the Nikon Coolpix which is a little more but has 10X zoom also. Amazon.com: Nikon Coolpix S10 6MP Digital Camera... My final recommendation is Casio Ex-V8 with 8X zoom which is very compact and has a special YouTube video mode. Amazon.com: Casio Exilim EX-V8 8MP Digital Camera... I'm not suggesting you purchase from Amazon, just put the links because it's easy to find stuff there. One last tip is to be aware of "digital delay" which means there is lag-time between pushing the button to take the picture and actually getting the shot. Just take loads of shots and delete the ones you don't like. Good luck with your new camera. Have fun with it.

Therapy Dog Donating Member | I personally have a Canon Powershot and it's OK but we just bought my son a Nikon Cool Pix and I love that camera...when this Canon bites the dust that's the next small, digital camera I get. It retails for about $249 or so but lately all the camera stores around us and I think even Best Buy and Walmart had it on sale for $199 and we got it in the limited edition color red but you can get it in black, too. You should get some great ideas from this thread that's for sure.

| THanks! Im still lookin for a camera. It seems that the Cannon has the quickest time as far as pushing the button and taking the pic.
