Any digital Camera Recs or critiques?

Dec 27, 2004 10:57

Ok- so I think I've decided with some of my 'bonus' I'm going to pick up a digital camera- in part I'm seeing this as a 'necessity' for pursueing purse projects so priority would be ease of downloading or transferring images to computer. I'd also like to stay under $200. Who LOVES their digital camera and why? Who hates theirs & why ( Read more... )

I have a Canon Powershot Elph and love it.

Gimme some stats... viola69 December 27 2004, 17:36:15 UTC

how much memory? Is that JUST enough, more than enough, over-ly enough, or not enough? How easy is downloading to computer- and do you need extra equipment to do so? Printing off pics easy? Zoom? and hey, does it look pretty & how much did you pay??

Thanks! :-)

Lets see, it takes CF cards so it can hold as much as you want. I use a 64mb card in it (which is pretty cheap) and I've never filled one up.
It's very easy to download to a computer using either the included cable or just by putting the CF card into a card reader (a very cheap thing, that's how I do it)
Printing is easy but it's not a brand new camera so it doesn't have the printer dock thing. I just open my pictures with PhotoShop or HP Photo Printing software and do it that way. My printer does take CF cards and prints pictures directly with not trouble.

It does zoom. It was very expensive but that was 2 years ago and it's not now. Mine is only 2.1 megapuxels. They make them better now. I've never been unhappy with any canon camera I've owned. Oh, it's also tiny and very pretty and takes short videos as well.

Whee! Thanks- after reading through ads on & off last month- wanted someone who has a 'newer' model than what parents have to put numbers to actual experience.

Meanwile- tonight I'm going to have to fiddle with Mom's new computer & her old camera to see if I can't get a couple pics off the camera. I want image record of all the purses I make- and have pics on there of the one that was my 'first' sale that a friend bought to use as Christmas gift for her mom.
