Need a camera.

[g4m3rof1337]

I would like a digital camera.
Nothing fancy. just need to take pictures of like are families cats, animals, trips the family goes on.

Good quality.
Not really cheap, but under $100.
Maybe with an added rebate.

Id look, but i dont know what to look for.


If you can find it under $100 or a bit over.


If possible, and combo printer *semi portable*, and maybe add a decent cheap memory card.

Thank you.

Overall, either Kodak would be an excellent choice, good quality, cheap cards and extremely easy to use and switch between photo modes. The Fuji is a little bit cheaper, but for the extra money, the Kodaks would be the better choice for me. As for the cards, OfficeMax usually has 1GB SD cards for $20 with no mail-ins; don't see any right now, but check back week to week as they usually have one every other week or so...

The FUJI is on sale right now for less that your target price. Better hurry!

When it comes down to digital camera's, now or in the future, I hope it's not the megapixel's that making you take this route. "5mp for 400 and a 6mp for 130? Sounds like a deal to me." As hard as it may sound, the 130 is probably really bad.

I always want to stress the fact that you should take some time into this investment and spend atleast 200 on one digital camera that you really like than just get one that's cheap. Also take some time on researching the camera itself and looking at sample pictures. Sometimes the phrase "you get what you pay for" really applies.

This is not saying that these are really bad choices or really bad camera's; it's just that, well, let's say that you wouldn't want a good vacation ruined because of a poor camera.
