Cheap/slim digital camera

diduknowthat · 02-11-2008, 01:50 AM

Hey guys, I need a recommendation for a cheap, slim digital camera that uses SD cards. The budget is sub $100 and I would like the camera to have optical zoom. I've been looking around and there are a few but I would like to know everyone's opinions.

Thanks

Well... there are such cheap cameras out there, but seriously, why not break the budget a bit? For about $130 you can get a pretty fine camera...

6x optical, stabilized, 7.2MP, pretty small...

I'll see if I can. I really don't need a good camera. The only reason I am getting a new one is because I am going on a 2 week trip soon and I won't have access to a computer. My family has a pretty good SLR camera and an old digital camera. However the old Olympus camera uses a Smart Media cards, which is pretty much dead. So i'm just looking for a cheap camera that uses SD cards so I can throw on a cheap 4 gig card and have plenty of room to store pics.

Any ways, I was looking at this one,

does it look any good for the price?

Ebay have those scam credit card ones in serious bulk. Hundreds upon hundreds and no-one ever bids.

Soo what camera do you suggest?

Not one of those creditcard ones. They're like 640x480

If I were you, just look on Newegg and see what brands you've actually heard of that offer cameras around your price range. I think there were some GE cameras around $90 plus shipping. They'd probably be fair

Yeah I don't want credit card ones. So newegg has these that are within my budget.
