If you just want a digicam to take general snapshots, there are plenty of very nice, fairly inexpensive models out there. I recently purchased a Kodak DX4530, which is non-SLR and have been pretty happy with it. It cost me right at $300 USD. It's 5MP, and has a nice LCD viewing screen as well as a viewfinder (which I haven't used yet!). The lens system takes nice, crisp photos, and the processing time is an eye-blink compared to the digicams that both my parents have. The only problem I see with this model is that most of the zoom feature is in the digital zoom function, and that takes some pretty crappy images. I'm sure there's a balance somewhere, I just have to figure it out. We shopped around a bit for a decent, reasonably inexpensive camera, and this one came up with more features at the price we wanted. But on the whole, there isn't a whole lot of difference. If I had $6- or 700 USD to spend, I'd likely have picked a model higher up on the technology ladder, but for my general purposes, this was well worth the money. Spend enough time reading reviews, you'll figure out which one's right for you... Loading...
