title about covers it.
I would love to buy my first digital camera.. (so I can take car pictures) Is there anything out there that would be decent in the 200 range? (I'll have to justify it with the wife, that we can use it for trips and non car pictures too) what should I look for? -#'s of pixels? -powers of multiplication? thanks for humoring a computer and camera newbie. brant |

I'm not going to recommend a specific model because there are plenty out there.
But my one suggestion is to look at FACTORY REFURB models. Often you can find them on eBay or directly from manufacturers. They usually come with the same warranties, and you can get a bunch more camera for your money. Otherwise, my only advice is look for one with an optical zoom, as opposed to a digital zoom. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
