There are lots of website who sell camera on a low price. One suggestion though, photo quality is as good as the printer and ink you will use to print them so if I were you I will consider to buy this with the camera:

I think that Sony's and Nikon's are really good brands. Try searching for digital cameras on www.circuitcity.com because they have really good ones.

I got a kodak camera from walmart for around $130 and that was about one their cheapest ones and it works just fine for me and the pictures are clear. It didn't come with a printer though, or atleast the one i got, you have to buy those seperately. I got a cannon one for christmas 2 years ago and i only used it for about 3 months and it just stopped working. I'm not sure what was wrong with it but i havent had the best experiences with cannon. Anyways the ones from walmart are good buys and they work well, i guess it just depends how much money your willing to spend! good luck

I'm a professional photographer, and I use a Nikon D50 SLR* for my personal photos. It ran me about $700 with the lens, and I invested about $50 in a used strobe, but I get GREAT results with it. The photos are as large as 2000 by 3000 pixels, and the 1GB flash card can hold up to 280 images. The color is excellent and the focus is crystal-sharp.

It's not a point-and-shoot by any means, but it does have sufficient automatic features so that one can use it fairly easily without having to know too much about photography. What I like about it is that I can hold down the shutter release and shoot multiple pictures at 1-second intervals; this has proven imperative in getting good shots of my very active 5-year-old.

If you want more of a pocket point-and-shoot, the most important thing to look at is the Megapixels. The higher the number, the better. 6 megapixels will be good enough for whatever you might do; you can safely blow up such a picture to 10x15 before you start seeing the individual pixels. My experience tells me that there are four brands: Nikon, Canon, Kodak, and Pentax. Anything else is either too cheap, or it's serious professional grade and therefore too expensive for casual photo shooting (Hasselblad, for example).

Since you obviously have a computer with internet access, you really don't need your own photo printer. Many photo developers now have internet service, whereby you can just load your photos onto a website and tell them how you want them printed. An hour later, you go pick 'em up! They can even mail them to you if you want. Sure, it means you can't print them right at your desk, but how often do you really need to do that? In any event, it's actually a lot more expensive to do it yourself, what with the cost of ink and paper.

How long it lasts depends mostly on how you treat it. Keep it in a padded bag, don't knock it against things, keep it clean and dry, and keep the data contacts covered, and it will last.

Enjoy!



*Single Lens Reflex; it means the viewfinder looks through the actual lens instead of being a seperate window. It's good because what you see is what you get.

But I wouldnt get a Kodak because when I had one of those the pictures turned out bad.

i definitely recommend gettin a kodak. you can get them with the printers because my sister got one for christmas. i just looked at the ones at walmart and they have two. the first one is $200 and the second one is $300. there are other brands with the camera and printer dock, but i have only messed with kodak cameras so im not to sure about the quality of the other ones.

i have a kodak and it didnt come with a printer , you have to buy it seprately and from what i saw they cost alot. i got my camera at walmart for like 100$. i dont like it though because the angles and stuff. but anyways make sure you get RECHARGABLE batteries if you put just regular batteries in then it will be a waste and they will only last like 1 day IF THAT. good luck. and just ask the people at the store which ones the best. :]

hey!! well first of all, digital cameras are getting more and more advanced every day... because they are coming out with new ones so quickly, you can get very good cameras for a low price. i have had the olympus stylus camera for almost two years. it's a great camera... i love it! my boyfriend got it for me for 350 dollars 2 years ago, but you can now find it for less than 200! i deffinitely recommend it.

but what i would suggest is that you look around on different websites (circuit city, best buy, wal mart) and see which cameras you like. you can then go on this website: EPINIONS.COM and type in the brand and name of the camera you are interested. this will allow you to read reviews written by people who own that specific cameras! it should help you make up your mind!!

here is an example, using the camera that i own: i went on the website, typed in "olympus stylus 410" and hit search. this came up:

all you have to do is click on read reviews and you are all set! :) hope that helps! let me know if you need more help!

I have a Kodak Easyshare. My last 3 digital cameras were Hewlett Packards, and they sucked honestly. Seriously, if I tapped one with my hand, it would stop working. And what sucked even more is that the company wouldn't replace them for me. The new HP's look a little better, but I myself am not going to risk getting another camera from that brand. I like HP, but there digi cams haven't worked out for me. I've found Kodak & Canons to be the best! :]
