Looking For A Good Digital Camera Under $200


Hi - I am trying to find me a nice digital camera to use to add pictures to my Web page and send some pictures on email here. I have the WebTV plus I use that one that has the NTSC hook up on it. I just do not know what would be the best buy for under $200. Thank you,

  If all you need from it is to take images for the Web, to email, or for selling stuff on ebay, there might be something for you out there. In this price range, the camera may have only an internal memory (no memory card), and limited memory capacity (2MB ain't much).

At work, we have the cheapest Kodak. As long as we fill the frame with the subject, and shoot at the highest quality setting, the image quality is acceptable (a 4" image to include via desktop publishing on a page of instructions), and perfectly OK for the Web. Printing a photo, however, we get a 4 x 6 in which we can barely identify the people, and at 8 x 10, we all look as if we're in the Federal Witness Protection program.

I think the first thing needs to be addressed is the WebTV. I don't think you'll be able to use this to download your pictures from any digital camera, unless they've made major upgrades from my mom's unit.

Your first investment is probably going to have to be a computer.
