Digital camera.

[HCS]

Could do a search, but I'll start fresh.
It's the wifes birthday and she wants a camera.
Which is great! because I want one too.
I hate shopping for stuff like that though. Too many choices.
How much camera is too much camera? I want keep it around 5 bills or less.
Do I need to spend that much or will some of the cheaper cameras be just as good.
I'm looking at a,
Canon power shot, 5 meg. for 499.
Kodak Easyshare, 5.1 meg. same 499.
Then there's a,
Konica Minolta DiMage 6 meg. for 399.
Or should I just get one of the cheaper ones?
What to get...... :idea:

I have a sony cybershot 5.0mp (its the older one). It's really small, easy to use & takes really good pics. I think it was about $500 (probably a lot cheaper now)

From Leo on KFI:
You should be able to get a good quality point and shoot for around $250 (including a additional 512MB memory card). I like the Nikon 5900 - but read the reviews at www.digitalcamerainfo.com.
Consider:
optics - just as with a film camera good glass is critical to satisfying pictures
shutter lag - film camera users are often disappointed with the slight shutter lag common on digital camera. Try before you buy to make sure you can live with the lag. The more expensive the camera, the lower the lag.
megapixels - anything greater than four is plenty
battery type - LiON batteries require recharging. If you won’t always be near a plug socket, look for a camera that supports standard batteries, as well

Also, get the most optical zoom you can, ignore the digital zoom, it's worthless!
The Nikons and Olympus have great optics (lenses).

I love my Olympus (4.0 megapixel).. though I wish it was smaller, it takes fantastic photos and comes with an OK, and simple to use, graphics program to edit the pictures with..
