Question by cafeaukait: What digital camera would be best for me?
I’m looking to buy a digital camera. My price range is around 0-0. I take pictures A LOT. The camera is practically attached to my hand. I would like the camera to have some nice features like color extraction, but mostly I would like quality pictures. That’s the most important thing to me. Also, I want something reliable. I bought a Kodak last September and burned out the flash bulb by this September. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Nikon.
I think the Nikon S60 is the best I’m getting it also for Christmas though its $349.95 but its worth it just read the article its attached to the question under Source(s) when you go on the website there is also a demo video of all its features just click the demo button
Probably most of them are pretty good. I can only say I have a Canon PowerShot A560 and I really like it and find it very good, but it is already an old model and there are newer and better ones. One thing I like about Canon is that you can use regular AA batteries on some models and do not have to exclusively use rechargables.
Your best to buy either a Canon or a Nikon.
Amazon has a great selection of cameras. I personally prefer and use Canon.
There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say which is best, but digital is definitely the way to go. The following link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices. http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/ …
What gives a camera its picture quality?
The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures.
Many of the new cameras come with only an LCD screen. Would suggest that you find one that also has an optical view finder because the LCD screen is almost impossible to see in bright sun.
Higher mega pixels may not really be the best thing to look for. It is more expensive, takes longer to process, and may not be needed unless you are making a really large picture or blowing up a small part of a picture. http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=398&pq-locale=en_US&_requestid=2039 …

Check this camera. FUJIFILM – FinePix 10.0-Megapixel Digital. This is more camera for the money.
Wide-angle shooting, a 12x optical zoom and picture stabilization mode combine in this camera for exceptional shooting performance, even at a distance. Plentiful scene modes, autofocus and automatic white balance controls make this camera a snap to operate. Life time Warranty (Parts & Labor).You may be able to find it on the Internet for a lower price ($144), but be careful of the vendor.

The information about my camera is just to show that you don’t need the biggest and best. Just know how to use the one you have.
My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes … like magic.
Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Ask what cameras they own, but don’t believe everything you hear. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner’s manual. You may be able to view the owners manual at this link. http://www.retrevo.com/s/digital+camera …

You might consider the Canon PowerShot A590 IS
It has an image stabilizer, you can control if you wish shutter speed/aperture or just leave on auto. 8 megapixels, 4X optical zoom. Amazon.com has it for $118-+shipping. Dell has it for $115+shipping
Consider Kodak EasyShare M1033.
10 megapixels, 3X optical zoom. Abe’s of Maine and also Beach Camera have it for under $160-+shipping.
PS- If you like a tiny camera consider the Canon SD1100 IS
8 megapixels, 3X optical zoom. Most on line places selling it for about $165-+shipping.
I usually go to http://www.dpreview.com whenever I’m confused with the camera brands/models/functions.
In that website, almost all brands & models of cameras are rated by professionals, and every single tiny detail of each & every feature is provided. At the end they also give a conclusion report and whether they recommend it or not.
Go for strong reliable brands such as Canon or Nikon. These go way back in digital photography technology research and will give you peace of mind with their products. Anyway good luck with your decision

The all time winner bargain compact digital camera is the Canon 7.1 megapixel PowerShot SD1000 [not the SD1100 [IS] 7.1 with an added 2- gig memory card which when set in the manual mode for “Vivid” colors and videos at 30 fps in 320 dpi format provides killer images and videos under low light conditions. It’s especially good for low-light concerts. The macro feature is superb for taking closeups of small butterflies, insects, etc. It currently sells for $140 at techgearnow.com:
