6/28 hola, does anyone have a recommendation of a $300-$350 digital camera?
pixel-wise, will any camera in that $ range be adequate for 4x6 prints+
WEEB images ... i.e. pick based on mostly features and interface?
[this is not for me, but an associate]. ok tnx. --psb
\_ What is WEEB?
\_ Canon ELPH S200 for $350. I've been happy with mine. It's simple
to use and the picture quality comes out great.
to use and the picture quality comes out great. It has the most
compact form factor of any 2MP camera out there. I would say,
go to http://imaging-resource.com or http://dpreview.com for info.
\_ for web and 5x7 prints or smaller, you can get away with 1.3mega
pixel camera. I bought one for that purpose for $150.

It all depend upon what you want. If you want a camera
that takes good picture, the one above will do.
Number of Pixels is actually not that important. Quality
of CCD and to small extent, the optics of the camera is
a bit more important.
-- photo geek who has 7 lenses from 20mm to 500mm
in 35mm format and spend more money on film and
developing film than the equipment itself.
\_ Nikon has 7 cameras in that price range, from the Coolpix 2500
to the older 800/950/990 and the newer 775/880/885. Use dealtime
for a good price (and comparison) or simply just cameraworld.
They have good service and great prices.
\_ Of these, I'd recommend the 775 or 885. The 2500 looks like a
toy. |

Our full in-depth review of the eight megapixel Nikon Coolpix 8700.

This new ultra-compact camera appears to utilize a 'folded optics' lens design similar to the Minolta DiMAGE X series and the Sony DSC-T1, T11. The AZ-1 also comes with a cradle used for charging the camera's internal Lithium-Ion battery as well as providing USB and video out connectivity.
