Q: My sister's birthday is in early December, and I want to start looking for her gift now. I know she really wants a digital camera, and it's kind of expensive, so I thought maybe I'd just count that as birthday & Christmas...
Anyway, what's a good digital camera (brand, I guess) to get? What makes it so good? What kind do you (or someone you know) have? Why that one? Why do you/they like it?
Also, do they have them in color? I thought I'd try finding one in her favorite color if I could.
One last question: is it okay to buy online, or would it be better to actually go to the store and pick it out so I can see it and talk to a sales rep? I'm a student at a college in a small town, so the closest thing to an electronic store we have is a wal-mart...
Thanks in advance! :)

I highly recommend Canon digital cameras- they have good features and excellent photo quality. I recommend anything in the "Canon Power Shot SD" line. There are new models out now, Canon power shot SD 550 is a bit more advanced than the SD 500 (more background options, better zoom). By now there are much newer models. I recommend the SD 550..
Canon makes great cameras- the quality of the photos, zoom/picture taking quality and clarity of photos are some things to look for, and a lot of people I know who have a canon digital camera are very happy with it.
One line of Canon digital cameras that comes in several colors, is the Power Shot SD 1100 IS:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=16347. Walmart does carry canon digital cameras online: http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_constraint=0&ic=48_0&search_query=canon+digital+camera&Find.x=0&Find.y=0&Find=Find, there is also an option of checking if they carry that particular item in the store near you. I would recommend buying directly from the store, so you can check out the camera and talk to a sales rep. I also recommend checking if walmart offers an insurance policy, in case of lost/damaged camera, which would cover replacement. Otherwise, you'd have to send the camera in for repair, which could be very expensive.

I am here to give honest advice, when I feel I have something to contribute. I try to be as empathetic and understanding as I can, as I know that the way something is said is as important as the message itself.
I usually advise on love/relationships, friendship and family issues, nutrition, and health (mental and physical). If I feel I can help out, there's not a whole lot I am unwilling to answer. Ask away!
