I am looking to buy a new Digital Camera next sunday, but I don't know what to get. I know I am going to buy it from Sears (sears.com) because I work there and next weekend we are having a big friends and family night sale but I am lost when it comes to getting one.
I currently have have a fuji film and its a nice camera for being a few years old but I am ready to move on. It was a great buy for about $100, but it takes too long between pictures and it takes bad close up pictures... its not the quality.. its just like some are better than others i guess you could say.
like my best friend his i could sit and take great picture after great picture of myself for hours on his.
I am willing to spend up to like $250 on a camera (my discount is 10% but there is 7% sales tax)
and I want one with a decent size screen and also the ability to make movies (only a min or two is fine)
I prefer personally recommendations because I was trying to read the ones on the site and most had mixed reviews or none at all
thanks!

The screen is huuuge- 3 inches so the pictures show up bright and clear. It takes movies, with lots of different settings such as time lapse, color swap and more. It has many cool modes and settings for taking pictures and the pictures are great. It's pretty quick between pictures which is good and there is a special setting for taking close up pictures called digital macro. I looked on Sears and it is 299.99, but I got it for around $250 on a different website. Personally I think all Canons are really cool, so you may want to check out some of the less expensive ones available at Sears and see which one fits you. Hope I helped! :] [ honestXmiistake's advice column | Ask honestXmiistake A Question ]
Hey. I am going to tell you about my wonderful camera I got for this past Christmas.
It does everything you want:
-Takes pictures
-Takes videos
-Has many different picture settings
-I have rechargeable batteries.. they were kind of on the pricey side, but they are definitely worth it.. you don't have to go out and buy new batteries every time they die.
-It is in your price range. You won't get too great of quality for under $150, so its good you have a larger range. But.. at the bottom of the page I give below- it has a certain website where it looks like you can find it at $119.99. That would probably be your best bet.
This camera has 5.0 megapixels, 4X Optical Zoom [You want optical zoom, not digital zoom- because digital screws up the pixels as you zoom and the picture looks really crappy], it has 18 different shooting modes, and if you have a larger memory card [I have 2GB] you can hold a lot of pictures/videos.
Now for my own review..
I love this camera a lot and it is a great investment. I take tons of pictures and videos.. and it is perfect for me. The picture quality is the best I've seen in many different digital cameras. My brother has one, and the pictures always come out having odd white spots on them. This camera doesn't do that, ever. I think you will love it.
The only thing is, I'm not sure if you can find it at Sears- but the website I gave you can get a good discount =D.
