  1. I just bought one. Seems everyone gets the Canon Poweshots, but I’m really liking my Casio EX-Z120. Both are good for people new to the market because they’re point-and-shoot, no questions. I’d look to make sure it has at least 3x optical zoom and at least 3 megapixels (more gives better quality, less gives smaller file size). Anti-shake is a new fun feature that helps take pictures in dim light (if you take photos when you go out at night).

  2. 1. price
    2. media type (sd, cf, etc)
    3. Battery (aaa or rechargable)
    4. Pixel how many meg pixel
    5. Zoom power. Do you plan to zoom from a distance

    Those six are basic things you should look for.. good luck!

  3. my recomondation is to buy a cannon power shot
    it s actually pretty easy to use i have one

    make sure when you buy it it has`at least 5.0 mega pixels

    i bought mine 2 years ago and mine only has 3.2
    but the pictures come out alot clearer than my friends kodak that claims to have 6.0 mega pixels

    it s nice and small and easy to carry around

    it has a hook up to connect to the tv and a usb port cable

    and in couple of years you can actually trade it in for a better refurbished camera and only pay like 80 $
    but i doubt you ll even need to do that
    because it ll last you a long time

  4. First of all, Digital zoom is a hoax. IF you want a camera witha powerful zoom, go for 4x OPTICAL zoom or higher.

    megapixels refer to the quality of the picture:the more the better. If you want a decent picture 5 should be your minimum.

    you’ll also want one with a removable memory card instead of one with internal memory.

    I use the Sony Cybershot. $160 + tax, memory card included, but that was a sale price

  5. There isn’t really a whole lot of difference in cameras. I have a Polaroid i532 and it is a great camera. But, I have looked around and was with a friend when she bought hers, and she also has a nice one. It is the accessories that will cost you. Mine takes just regular "AA" batteries (rechargeable) and hers take another type and it will cost her $54.00 to replace. Her memory stik is also pretty expensive. My SD Card was only $14.00. Accessories is the key to cost for the beginner (me).
