Looking for a Digital Camera

Zangetsu · 12-25-2007, 12:56 AM

Hey all,

I am looking for a digital camera who has a good quality of picture taking (like 5-6 mp) and a good video. Now, the last one is important for me. I know, digital cameras are not really meant for video's they are meant for picture taking. But even so, the most cameras do have video function. My question is, which one have the best for a price range of 150 dollars? I went to the mall, and they offered me a Casio. I took it, went straight to home and it sucked... The picture taking was also very bad! it had like 7.2 MP and still it was bad. My jenoptik owned that casio. The guy in the store even said to me that Casio were like the best in video taking for that price range.

Anyway, I am looking for a digital camera who can take good pictures and has good video quality. And nowadays, I think you can get a good camera for 150 dollar. Owyeah, which brand should I go for?

I just bought a Fujifilm Finepix A800 8MP for $150 and it's great...takes decent videos, I have a 1 gig SD card and it will take about a 27 minute video. The picture quality is unreal we just printed a bunch of picture's of our kids in front of the christmas tree and you can count the pine needles!

Here is the the one I got.

Fuji's are really nice as most of them have outstanding ISO capabilities. Canon's also really nice; they probably have better lenses and would be my personal preference. Panasonic's are really nice too, but they're probably out of your price range.

Why not try Canon PowerShot SD1000 ?
