Spend a few minutes on http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/ You'll find that today, most all of the newer cameras are quality. Really depends on your budget. My insight, get one that is a little better than you expect you'll need today. Get one with a decent zoom and image stabilization. I really like the new Panny, Canon and Nikon units. Don't focus on MP's as it's Image Quality that matters. PM me if you have questions down the road. Even if you trip up and get a bad pic, just let me know. We can fix it. Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 Nikon Coolpix P7000 Canon PowerShot S95 Are three I would suggest looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murse Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I would recamend the canon T3i or the the (still new) T2i both entry level DSLRs, but are fantastic! Worth the upgrade over a point and shoot. Take a look at those too. Also if you have time take a trip over to Midwest Photo Exchange, the guys there can talk to you and figure out the best camera for you based on your budget and needs!

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Not to hijack, but since this is very related... I was looking at <$100 Cameras lately as a gift for my niece. This low-end Fuji (AX300) seems like it has decent specs for a relatively cheap camera. I have had good results with the couple of mid-range Fuji cameras I've owned personally. I'm no camera expert though. Anyone have any insight/opinions on these? I would buy something a little further up the scale for myself, but she's just going to use this for retarded Facebook pictures, vacation and such, most of which will probably never be made into prints. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830122328&cm_re=ax300-_-30-122-328-_-Product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Love me Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W130 cheap and takes great pics (i'm sure there's an updated version of it by now though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Picked up a Canon SX30 this past fall and have loved it to death. Not so big as to be cumbersome, and takes great pics, good video, and has a stabilized 35x zoom. It's not an DSLR, and people will tell you the photos get noisy at full size, which is true, but for a P&S, it's spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murse Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) my wife loves her Canon Powershot Elph100 and it does take fantastic quality pictures. its thin enough to slide into a pocket and also shoots to a SD card which her laptop accepts without an external reader. hers is bright ass pink tho... you can get in other colors too Linky Edited April 25, 2011 by Murse added link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
