Digital Camera Help
I think I'm looking to get a new digital camera - not an SLR or anything like that - a more modest camera.
I have an older SONY Cyber-Shot 3.2 Megapixels that is breaking...is it worth it to get it fixed or to just get a new camera?
Any suggestions on digital cameras?
Anyone have the HP 7.0 MP Powershot?
Any reviews of your cameras would be great!
Thanks!!
Moe - know you love your Olympus?

Re: Digital Camera Help
I had an older Olympus 3.2...needless to say it's seen better days.
Recently, an excellent photographer on here - Greenfreak recommended a couple of Canon Powershot cameras and a GREAT vendor to buy from. Soooo...I just bought the Canon 710 IS Powershot. It's 7.10 megapixels and 6x optical zoom. It came in only two days from B&H Photo. I've been playing with it every chance I get...so far I LOVE it!
HTH!

Re: Digital Camera Help
What size camera are you looking for? Just to carry around in your pocket?
The SD's are definitely pocket size. ~ 89.5 x 58 x 25.1 mm inch
The A's are bulkier, but have more manual settings. ~ 97.5 x 66.5 x 41.2 mm
The IS's are the upper end point and shoot and are the biggest. ~ 113.4 x 78 x 75.5 mm

If you are absolutely against the Digital SLR, the Canon Powershots are the way to go. As for B&H, I can't say enough about them. Great prices! Check out their internet specials & their open box specials. My co-worker picked up the same camera I have with a warranty for hundreds of dollars less because it was opened & returned.

Thanks everyone! Barb, I'm not so "against" the SLR, just more camera than I need and more than I'm looking to spend right now. COuld you give me the website for B&H?
Happy birthday, btw!
Thanks everyone!

Re: Digital Camera Help
My dad dropped and broke our digital camera just this weekend so we went shopping for a new one!
We got the canon 750 (it is from the elf series) so far I LOVE it and I dig the feature that allows us to take continuous pictures and that it allows us to fix red eye right in the camera!

We have the Sony Cybershot with the touch screen. It takes great shots.
