Good digital camera?

[Drewski]

I have a kodak right now and have been having problems with it. I'm thinking about getting a new one. What is a reasonably priced, good and simple digital camera that is easy to upload pictures with and dependable?

Thanks in advance!

Canon Powershot models.. I love mine.. Easy to use but has great advanced features too. Mine is a SD1000 7.1MP that is about 2 years old. Similar newer models out there right now.

I second the cannon power shot, mine works great, and gives very nice shots.

I have a Nikon Coolpix L20. For around $120. it is a good buy.

Powershot Model SD1100 IS

Relatively easy to use and produces great photos

Canon PowerShot SD1100 Super camera and very easy to use.

The Sony Cybershot is another good one for the price. Super easy to use as well.

With my Nikon L20 all I have to do to get a pic ready to post here is Push the button to view the pic I want to post, Press menu, scroll down to small pic. Press the arrow right, pick the size I want (640X480), press OK. select yes and I'm done. Then it is just a matter of putting the card in the SD reader slot.

I haven't used a Cannon but I don't see how posting can get easier (well pics with my phone are easier).

I own 2 P&S cameras, a Canon PowerShot and a new Panasonic TS-1.

The Canon takes nice pictures and is easy to use, I like it.

The Panasonic is somewhat spendy for a P&S, but it's rugged and waterproof. It also takes amazing HD video (Blu-Ray quality), the first P&S camera on the market to use the AVCHD format. I think it would be hard to find a better P&S to take snaps out in the boat or blind than this one...

I too have a Nikon coolpix. I have the L18 model. Works great for me and takes good pics. I can't complain.

The Canon Powershot is a hard camera to beat. I recently seen one of the new Panasonics and it was a great camera, excellent quality pics and an amazing zoom for the money.

I just got the Olympus Stylus 850. So far I very happy with it. It is very durable, totally waterproof and can even be submerged - but I have not tried that yet.

I just purchased a Nikon coolpix S560 last week. I did a fair amount of research, reading reviews, etc. It has 10 megapixals, 5X zoom, and a rechargeable lithium battery. However the best part may be the ease of use. They are on sale now for $169.99. So far I'm happy with the decision.

I've had a Sony cyber-shot for a couple of years and am very happy with it. Real easy to use and good photos.

New PC World magazine has a point & shoot feature this month.

Results are Nikon Coolpix L20 & Powershot SD1100 are both very good. The Nikon is a great value for the money.

I have an Olympus stylus 850 SW and a 750 and love them. Tons of features and easy to use. On-line I have seen the 850's for around 150$.

The underwater is neat, a little scary the first time though...

Plus it will take nice video. Notice the eagle on the downed tree, he takes flight a few seconds in...

I have an olympus that is shock proof and waterproof. Great pictures even underwater. I bought this because of being outdoors in the elements. And if I drop it I won't have to worry about damaging it much.

[Larson15]

Definately the Olympus. Shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof. I have submerged it in water, dropped it countless times, and it still is ticking. Takes great pictures too.

[iceman16]

i also have the Olympus. i got the floating wrist strap with it so if i do drop it in the drink it will float. having a waterproof and shock proof camera is good but it does ya no good if its on the bottom of the lake.

Dark cloud how did you take the pics underwater like that were u in shallow water and just holding the camera?

[mainbutter]

I use a fuji finepix something or other, nice and compact but takes great pics, very functional as a point-and-shoot camera.

Though now that I think about it, I kind of wish I had something that could shoot underwater.

[Dark Cloud]

iceman16 - those pictures were taken while releasing fish - one hand on the tail and one hand to try and line-up and take the picture. Takes some practice...

Heres a nice lake run brown, notice my boot in the backround...

This walleye was free and easy, camo'd in very well...

This smallie came to check things out while we were swimming...

[iceman16]

that is cool i never even thought about trying that. will be then next trip out thanks black cloud!
