I know digital cameras are everyone's joy here at this site...all of us have our own preferences. I have a Kodak DX6440. I used to have a Sony until the LCD screen died on me. In this section of the forums I know there are lots of different cameras that members are asking about. Canon seems to be the one that is preferred, I think.

I'll have to go back and look.

I know this wasn't any help! :lol:

Really depends on how much you want to spend etc? Do you have any preference in terms of make or media it should take (eg. do you prefer sony?)

i have lots of memory sticks thats why i was thinking Sony. really must do some research into cameras annoyed mine died today

My camera is a cannon Powershot A85 4meg pixals with 5.4 - 16.2mm zoom lens with possibility of adapter lenses. Takes compactflash memory.

Summerbreeze's camera is a very small Pentax Optio S4i 4meg pixals with 5.8 - 17.4mm zoom lens. takes san disc memory cards.

Of the 2 I think the pentax camera is the better and the size will allow it to go easily into a purse or small pocket. It is a lovely ladies camera. (hope the doesn't sound sexist)

I bought a Sony DSC-W1 yesterday. Wanted to stick with sony as i have a few memory sticks and it means i didnt need to buy more memory.

Sony Cybershots are getting cheap, you can get a 4.1 mega pixel for a little over 100 dollars. :D My Cybershot is still living, and it's a year and a half old. :D

thats so much cheaper than over here........... my old one was a cybershot 4.1 mega pixel but the lense broke on it and wouldnt open any more

[Josette]

Ebayers sell them really cheap and they're new not out of the box yet. That's where I got mine. :)

On the recommendations of some members, I bought a Canon A75 and I couldn't be happier with my selection. It takes awesome photos!

While we are on the subject, I am thinking of buying the Olympus C-765. Anyone hear anyhting good or bad about this camera?

[Keith]

Its a decent enough camera with a good zoom.

My only problems with it were lack of stabilisation resulted in blurry photos when zoomed in (unless you use a tripod or take photos in bright daylight) and I found it took ages to actually take the photo when the button was pressed.. I even did the "press the button, nothing, turn it round to see what had happened, flash in the face, picture of startled looking keith" thing a few times :lol:

I don't want to make it sound bad though... the zoom is mega useful in good light and it takes good photos
