Choosing a camera! - Hobby Lobby

Carlye<3Sailor · 10-19-2009, 07:40 AM

Help! I never realized how overwhelming it is because there are soo many choices and options!!

I need a camera, Just a point and shoot because ours is broken and I need pictures of my little man, family outings , all that stuff .. and I want one that takes quality pictures and one that doesnt have a love delay for capturing the quick baby stuff, but outside of that I have no idea what to look for or what is better then others? I will read reviews n everything before I buy but where to start? I dont even know what I want/need in a camera because all the ones I have had before have been given to me..

Ideas??

I just got a Canon A1100 12mp, 4x zoom, video and different photo modes and excellent picture quality. I used to have an older model and LOVED IT! but it broke so I got this one for my birthday. It usually runs for $149 but you can find good deals on it.

Choosing a new camera can be overwhelming! Just look at reviews, pick about three and watch the sales!! That's what I would do

Im gonna go play with them today to decide, but love hearing real peoples reviews too

I highly suggest canons. I've had almost every brand. I think those with the best quality would be canon or sony, possibly fuji. I have a nikon point and shoot s7c or something and I hate it. There is that delay and the quality is just lacking for me the colors, etc it all seems washed out. I am used to a DSLR though. I wouldn't suggest a Kodak either. My sister and friends have had a few and I've never been impressed with their quality.

Great advice!!! I keep getting suggested canons so thats promising!

I LOVE the Kodak easy shares. Number one, I'm from Rochester, and there is nothing better than Kodak. Number two, I have used about 4 different Kodak cameras and they are easy and take great pictures! I now have one myself and LOVE it!. And they aren't really expensive, like some others.

I am still looking into canons but right now I am in love with this Sony
