A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Digital camera question...

Anybody have any idea on an o.k. digi cam for around $100-$140 bucks or so? Doesn't need to be fancy, just have a flash

Tamara: my DH got me a Digital camera for my BD last year (06)
I am not real sure of the price, but you can always check--Below is what I got--

camera is Nikon Coolpix L3

5.1 megapixels
3X Zoom Nikkor Lens
2.0 inch LCD Monitor

If you want to see how the pictures look, go to the Craft Swap & you can look at the pictures I posted there.

good luck !!

Thanks Junie.

I see this Saturday the Kodak Easyshare is on sale for $120. It says 6.2 mp, 3 times optical zoom and 2.4 inch LCD screen. I have no idea what all that means though

That's pretty good Tamara.....

When you buy a Camera optical zoom is more important really than digital zoom.

Optical means that the actual lens zooms in and out for closeups.

Not a bad price...When I bought my Sony Cybershot 5-4 years ago it was $200 and that was for 3x optical and 3.1 megapixels. The prices are pretty good on the cameras now! I would at least get one with optical zoom. That is my main priority with cameras...

Thanks for explaining to me Loz It's 35% off so maybe I should check into it.

Don't forget that once you buy it the memory stick that comes with most cameras only holds a few pictures---like 8-10 on high quality.

Eventually you'll want to get yourself a good one....and different cameras take different memory cards....the one I have now from Bill uses an SD card. My old one took a memory stick. Just something to keep in mind because when you get a bigger card you can hold tons of pics and even take short video clips.

Thanks, never thought about that.

I checked out the camera on the site. It even has a 'flower' button(yup, a little tulip that you click on) for close ups and a 'snow' feature for taking pics in the cold and snow glare.
