In the market for a new camera

TURBevO8 · Post by **TURBevO8** » April 17, 2008

Hello all. I am in the market for a new camera and I dont know shit about them nowadays. I am looking for the best bang for the buck for $200 or less and care more about still photos than video and other bells and whistles. I am open to any and all suggestions. I am sure some of you have seen the phone pics I have posted of my car and it is just sad. My old camera is broke and I am ready to upgrade anyway. Thanks guys!!!

Just go to Target and buy something for $200. I think they should all be pretty similar at that amount.

Yeah I just know that when you go to places and look at only a price range you might be able to get a 5MP or a 9MP for the same price. So without doing my research I just thought I would throw this thread out there and see what peoples thoughts' were.

Wait till you can spend 450ish and pick up a used D50 off ebay.

Nah. I am not looking to spend $450 on a camera. I will only use it a few times a year so I dont need anything that great. I am setting the limit at $250 but looking to spend closer to $200. I know there are a lot of great cameras out there now for that price. I was hoping someone would say that one is better than the rest in that price range. Also I am really trying to save for a house now so I need to be as thrifty as possible for the next couple months.

Find a few models and compare them to find the one you like best
