Hello Mylot friends!! I am looking to purchase a digital camera in a few months and i dont wnat to spend a arm and a leg for one. I would like for it to have good picture quality and show up on real nice once it is time to print the pictures out. Have a very good memory capacity and basically is just a good camera. I am not trying to be a photographer or anything like that. Just want something that to take pics of my family friends and myself. Do any of you have any suggestions as to what kind i should be looking into and the price?

sorry if Im getting here too late but I have a Canon Powershot (A570IS) and Im really happy with it. I bought it from Ritz camera store in the mall after several trips back n forth and bought a 1GB memory card and that fits up to 360 pictures, the pixels are 7.1 and i can take really nice pictures of insects with it and butterflies with the "upclose button", lol, thats what I call it its on the back and has a little icon of a flower with the letters MF next to it, but thats what is so great that I can get great pics and Im no professional. I have a membership for printing photos at Ritz but found I do not need it and the local pharmacy is cheaper (Walgreens).

My first ever digital camera, the one before the Canon, was a Pentax with a 3 pixelation and I was never dissatisfied with that one but certainly the higher pixelation does help but 7 is good for the average person. We were thinking we needed the highed one first going in but found that was not the case and it takes up more memory. If I had the choice of any camera it would be the Sony cybershot--I was so impressed when I ran into some kid in a club who took a picture in near pitch black and the picture on teh LED screen came out light as day!

No you are not late at all!! Thank you so much for your response. I am trying to find the best one for my money at this time. I still havent purchased one yet. Weighing my options i guess you can say. But i will look into the Cannon Powershot at my local BestBuy or HHGregg!! Thank you so much for sharing this with me. Take Care!

I have a Casio Exilim 10.1 mega pixels (EX-Z1050) which was fairly cheap one I got it, maybe about £100. It's good quality, light (Ideal for carrying around all day) and easy to use. I bet since I bought it they have come down in price. Actually scrap that, I just looked on amazon.com and it seems to be really expensive over there.

Up until I had this I had a really good kodak one, it was a bit clunky but had lots of features and the photos always looked great.

In a way I preferred my old one as it seamt more professional but my newer one is handier for carrying around and taking away with me.

I agree, I have a Casio Exilim and it has been a great camera. I love the anti-shake feature because it keeps my pictures in better focus. It has lots of different ways to take pictures and also does short videos. It is the best camera I have ever owned. I didn't pay for mine. I won it on Gamevance. That makes it even better..lol
