Hi there!
I am relatively new to the board, however, I just had to answer. I am in love with my nikon cool pix 4300! Super quality photos and VERY easy to use. My FIL is a professional photographer using digital and my pix rival his. In fact, he helped my husband pick it out. GL

Re: digital camera recommendations please

The link for 220 is for the first version, for the SD100, mine is the SD 110, not sure what the differences are, but know mine is the newer version!

Re: digital camera recommendations please

I have a FujiFilm Finepix S7000 6.3 MP Digital Camera w/ 6x Optical Zoom. It takes amazing pictures. The only drawback is that it is a little bulky. I would also recommend the FujiFilm FinePix S3000 3.1MP Digital Camera w/6x Optical Zoom, which is a cheaper version of my own. If I had to do it again, I would get the Canon PowerShot S500 5MP Digital Elph with 3x Optical Zoom, only because it is small enough to easily fit into a pocket or purse. My best friend has it and it takes amazing pictures as well. With the small size you miss out on some of the optical zoom, but you can't beat the small size of the Elph.

I just got the Sony A80 and am SO in love with it. I took a bunch of shots at the zoo the other day and they came out amazing. It's so easy to use!!

Re: digital camera recommendations please

i think that if you are going to buy a digi gofor the most megapixls(sp) if you look around (internet) you can find a 5+ for around 300.00

just my though...........prices go down ever month so if you wait just a little...

Re: digital camera recommendations please

I JUST got the Fuji Fine Pix A330, it's 3.2 Megapixels. My Mom got it off Amazon.com, as an early b-day present for me, and she is the Digital Photography GODDESS. No one knows more about it than her - it's her hobby/obsession!

She bought it so I could have a good camera, lightweight but not too small, and reliable to take on the honeymoon.

I love it so far - it's VERY easy to use.

Re: digital camera recommendations please

I have this:

It was a little over $400 (but we bought a 256MB memory card for another ~$100).
It's tiny, easy to use, and takes awesome pictures. The software is really easy to use too.

Re: digital camera recommendations please

I was really happy with my Olympus D-460 but it's only 1.3 Megapixal and 3x Optical Zoom, so I just upgraded. I was going to get the Olympus 765 which is 4.0 megapixels and 10x optical zoom, but after talking to the guy at Cameta Camera, and seeing some great prints they had from various cameras, I got the Canon S1 - only 3.2 megapixels, with 10x zoom, but the image stableization feature in the lens really convinced me. I think it's running around $399 but when you start adding tax, rechargable batteries, additional picture cards, etc, it adds up fast.

I have the Kodak Easy Share CX6330. It is very easy to use, very inexpensive ($199). It can record short videos depending on how much room is left on your memory card. It is good for pictures of family and friends, honeymoon, etc.
