Moderator TaleSpinner Posted December 22, 2003 Moderator Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hi, After Christmas, we are going to get a digital camera. I don't want to invest more than $300 into one, but would like to get one that will give me good miniature pictures (as well as family photos; the justification for the purchase) . Any and all suggestions would be welcome. TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coogle Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Min package I would buy. - Min 2 megapixel (at 2 megapix will give you great resolution, from there extra pix almost redundant. - USB - 3x Optical, 3x Digital Zoom (Optical is essential for good focus) - 64meg removable memory card (you can treat it like film, take two cards with you and switch if one get's full) - Macro Function (this allows for close up focus) - For mini's the ability to turn the flash off (use static lighting, much better) - Manual or auto focus. (auto requires the Macro) This should give you a good camera for mini pix and general family shots. When selecting find somewhere you can take some test shots. Take a mini with you and try the different camera's see which takes the best shots. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flit Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I really like my Cannon PowerShot A70. It is really easy to use, has 3.2 megapixels, and takes good macro pics. The price was right at $300 when I bought it back in the summer. That may have come down by now and you may be able to catch a sale. Check out the link in my sig for examples. All the photos on the site were taken with the PowerShot. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
