help me decide on a new camera!

Mar 18, 2008 9 Replies

Well, It wasn't batteries. So now I need a new camera. I've been without now for over a month or more. I 've been trying to use my camera on mine and my DH's cell phone but that is a joke. I want something under 200.00 and I want it to take pictures good in doors like the gym or church without it being blurry. I had a Kodak. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.


Do you use a digital or a 35 mm camera? Sometimes I miss my 35 mm, because I get frustrated at blurry pics on my digital. I dont think its possible to take good pics in a gym. I do get frustrated with the lighting, and its probably my own lack of knowledge on how to set the lighting on my digital camera. I have a Sony Cybershot 4.1 megapixel. It takes great outside pictures and as long as my subject is still, it does okay. I do like the ability to upload to the computer as soon as I take a pic. Good luck finding one! Digital cameras have come way down in price the last few years, so you should be able to find a decent one for under $200.00. I wouldnt get less than a 4 or 5 megapixel.

No I don't used a 35 mm anymore. My broke. The only thing I really liked is that it did panorama. (Long skinny pictures) I was looking at the Kodak Z714 on eBay. You can get them for under 200.00. Does anyone have this one. You can also buy an attachment to take closer pictures.

that is what i want... I need a camera with 5 megapixels or more, SUPERFAST shudder speed and panaramic ability!...is there one like this?

I have the Canon PowerShot SD550 7.1 mega pixel. I love it. It has different settings for indoor, kids & pets, outdoor, etc. Takes excellent pictures.

We always check Consumer Reports, or Cnet.com for reviews on anything we purchase. They will give you info you need for making good choices.

I just checked cnet.com and this is their recommendations for 7.1 mega pixel cameras.

I love them because it fits in my purse. I am never anywhere, unless I don't carry my purse, without my camera. Love it! Tammy

Thanks Carissa. How do you like your new camera. I've been looking at the Z712 Kodak on ebay. Thanks for the link to the site.

My DS, my BIL and I have Sony's Cyber shots and love them.

I have a Kodak EasyShare CX7530, 5 megapixels. I'm quite pleased with it. It has various settings on a dial on top for sport, closeups, landscapes, nighttime, portrait, and also does videos. It's not as slim as some others I've seen, but it's not so heavy I can't take it with me.
