7/14 My girlfriend's mom wants a digital camera for < $200 (after tax,
shipping, accessories). I've narrowed choices to:
FinePix 2650 Big, a year old
FinePix A303 > $200, smaller than above, also a year old
Minolta E223 New - can't find user reviews though
Nikon 2500 Slow boot, swivel lens easy to imprint with fingers
Canon A60 > $200, new
Canon S200 > $250, a year old, but popular
All of the above have optical zoom. Any suggestions? Thanks!
\_ Coolpix 2100 just came out. $213 on http://dealcam.com
Canon A60 > $200, new
\_ http://store.yahoo.com/mouled1/capoa60dica.html
$199 with shipping. Hope she is happy with the 8MB
memory card though.
\_ $25 ground shipping to L.A.
\_ Crap. Buy the A40 then.
Canon S200 > $250, a year old, but popular
All of the above have optical zoom. Any suggestions? Thanks!
\_ Why not S230? They just dropped the price. Amazon has it for
$309 w/ a $50 Gift Certificate, so that's $259...
\_ Actually, the S230 is offered by another store through Amazon,
so the $50 deal doesn't apply. There used to be two links
for the S230 (one where the rebate was applicable), but no more.
The http://gotapex.com link is outdated now, I guess.
\_ What's wrong with optical zoom? Tried ebay?
\_ Optical zoom is good, it's just I have no idea what are the
good non-opt zoom cameras. ebay ... well, it's for a mom.
\_ figure out what she wants:
size? Quality? UI? Simplicity/ease of use? features?
\_ She wants it to be < $200. Seems like she's delegating the
rest of the choices to me.
\_ that reduces the selection quite a bit. which are
< $200?
\_ The ones above that don't say > $200/$250.
\_ How about Samsung Digimax 240? $180 at Amazon.
\_ I don't think she needs >2MP, but the Canon A300 is $200 for
a 3MP camera (no optical zoom).
\_ Thanks for the advice. It looks like it's between the FinePix
A303, Nikon CoolPix 2100, and Canon A60 (the http://amazon.com $50 deal
does apply for the A60, which can bring down the price with a $250
set of purchases). We'll go to Best Buy and look at all three.
FYI, the FinePix A310 has been released but not in the states. -op

| store.yahoo.com/mouled1/capoa60dica.html Excellent resolution means you can enlarge and crop with confidence! Choose single, center-point AF for the easiest way to sharp focus. Or use the camera's sophisticated 5-point AiAF system that lets you put your subject almost anywhere in the frame. Both systems ensure precise focus in any shooting situation, whether the camera is held horizontally or vertically. When you replay your movies on the LCD screen, you'll enjoy VCR-like operations including next frame, previous frame, fast forward and fast reverse. |

They own United States patent 4,698,672 which covers the JPEG compression standard, this patent was created by Compression Labs who Forgent bought back in 1997. Over the last two years, Forgent's has generated $90 million from licensing the patent to 30 different companies. The camera companies include Canon, Kodak, Fuji, Kyocera, HP, Panasonic, Ricoh, Toshiba, Concord and software suppliers Adobe, Macromedia, JASC. New cameras from Canon (PowerShot Pro1, EOS-1D MARK II), Kodak (DCS Pro 14nx, DCS Pro SLR/n), Konica Minolta (DiMAGE A2), Nikon (D70, Coolpix 8700), Olympus (C-8080 Wide Zoom) and Sigma (SD9, SD10) are now supported. They are the easiest means of archiving digital photographs today, but if disc is useless after 2 years, perhaps another archival medium is required. If CD-R is still your chosen media, then purchase the best, record at the recommened speed for your drive, and store in a cool dry environment. Our full in-depth review of the eight megapixel Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom. This camera combines a brand new five times optical wide zoom (28 - 140 mm) lens with a 2/3" type eight megapixel CCD. The C-8080 also sports a new body design and comprehensive control system. See how the C-8080 Wide Zoom performed in our tests and how it compares to the other four eight megapixel digital cameras currently on the market. Our full in-depth review of the all new eight megapixel Canon PowerShot Pro1. This camera features a 2/3" type eight megapixel CCD sensor combined with a Canon "L-type" 7x optical zoom lens which provides a wide zoom of 28 mm to 200 mm. See how the Pro1 performed in our tests and how it compares to the other four eight megapixel digital cameras currently on the market. Our full in-depth review of the eight megapixel Nikon Coolpix 8700. This camera is visually identical to the Coolpix 5700 as it shares that camera's body and lens, however there have been quite a few changes inside the camera. This is Nikon's offering to the eight megapixel prosumer market which is now made up of five cameras. See how the Coolpix 8700 performed in our tests and how it compares to the other four eight megapixel digital cameras currently on the market. Our full in-depth review of the eight megapixel Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2. The A2 shares its body design, lens and control layout with the five megapixel DiMAGE A1 but pushes the megapixel count up to eight and includes several 'under the hood' improvements. See how the DiMAGE A2 performed in our tests and how it compares to the other four eight megapixel digital cameras currently on the market. 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. This camera has not yet been announced outside of Japan and it's not clear at this stage whether this will become a domestic market only camera. |
