Seeking a New Camera

[Kitkat137]

For my birthday, my parents-in-law gave me a check to help me buy a new digital camera.

I currently own/use a Sony Cyber-Shot: 12.1 MP, 4x zoom

Anyone have a camera that they really love that is better than that, lightweight (I don't want to have to lug around something huge) that won't cost me a fortune (I prefer to stay under $250).

I really like Canons for p&s cameras. Sounds like a great gift!

I've had an Olympus that I loved, and a panasonic that I like, and I know Canon is a good brand too. I would say "NO" to Kodak though. Good luck! Have fun picking out your new camera! (I suggest going to a store and playing with them, and then comparing prices online )

I would also say no to Kodak. I have a NIkon Cool Pix - I absolutely love it. Nothing fancy but takes excellent pictures. 12.0 megapixels, wide 4x zoom, 2.7 inch lcd. Last time we went home to IL we realized everyone in our family has the same camera and we didn't even plan it that way.

I have no complaints - battery life is outstanding - light weight

I got mine at Target for around $130 on sale I think

I have 2 point and shoots. One is a Nikon cool pix and the other is a canon power shot. They both take awesome photos and are very easy to use.

I bought my Nikon CoolPix 2 years ago at Best Buy for about $120. I absolutely love it! It fits in my pocket. Its 10.0 megapixels, 2.5 inch LCD and 5X zoom. I haven't had no problems with it. It replaced my old one - never buy a Fuji digital camera. I had so many problems with it. Constantly in/out of the repair shop.

I love our Cannon Point & Shoot. Great quality, easy to use, ours also has a video option which is great.

Now I love my Fuji so much since I bought it 4 years ago that I bought the same model for my son! Never had a problem with either one, and the delay is minimal. But my newer Fuji waterproof I don't like quite so much, it's ok, but I'm not in love with it as much as my original Fuji. Of course, I have never foudn another camera I like as much as my original point and shoot except my DSLR! lol

My Fuji was OLD! My Dad bought it for me in 2002. I'm sure they have made major changes to the current ones.

I've had 3 different fuji cameras in the past and really liked them. Then about 3 years ago I switched to a canon digital rebel xti.... totally love it!! Takes such better pics (or maybe I'm just getting better at taking them).

I have a Canon Rebel T1i and absolutely LOVE it...until I can upgrad to a better DSLR, I highly recommend Canon for DSLR's
