In the Market for a Digital Camera


I want to buy a digital camera that doesn't have a long delay. I also don't want one that is more than $300. What kind should I get?

  Meghan, why not give these digital cameras a look? Nikon Coolpix 4300, Sony Cybershot DSC-P52, Canon Powershot S30, and Olympus Stylus 300D. All have a budget of $300 or less.
Dealers like A&M Photo World (www.amphoworld.com), Broadway Photo (www.bwayphoto.com ) and The Camera Source Inc. (www.thecamerasource.com) sell all these at LOW prices.

  You want a digital that will boot up really fast? I can't spell this one but it was just featured in Pop Photo a couple of months ago now. Kyroceria..It was like a 4 or 5 mp camera, booted really fast, seemed like a really nice camera. It got a good review too.

  When you want to move up, consider the Nikon D70. It's one of the best serious amateur digital cameras around (as of today!)

  That Kyrocera is over your budjet. You could try Pentax Optio 30, S40, or The MX. I use a optio 230 and like it. These new ones are a lot faster than the 230's. Check out the Adorama site. When you want to move up Penax just came out with a new Digital slr the ISTD. Thats gonna be a nice one.

  OOP"S Wish I could go edit my posts. It the new digital slr is ISTDS, Adarama has it in stock too. Sorry about the mixup.

  Whatever you end up buying, do NOT buy from A&M photo. They are well known for not sending the order, and sell lots of gray market products, labeled as made in the USA. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

  You should check out these review sites:

www.dpreview.com
www.dcresource.com
www.steves-digicams.com
www.megapixel.net

And of course BP reviews!

Good luck on your search!
I personally love my camera (the Fujifilm S5000). I don't know if you meant $300 US or Canadian or other...
I love the 10 x zoom!
