Digital camera help

[ozkat]

Im looking to buy a new camera, my current camera has 2.1mp and only digital zoom, which is crap when i try to zoom in. Ive been looking on ebay but really have no idea as to what to buy. Any help would be great.

How ya goin Mate , I got my self a Kodak CX7530 5.0 mega pixel and it is fantastic and the software they give you is piss easy to install and just as easy to use we are getting our ten year old daughter a kodak for chrissy and there fantastic. Hope this helps Big fella :D

Yeah, I'm with Devo, the Kodak cameras are dead simple to use & ditto for their software, my new Olympus is a P.I.T.A. & the software is overly complicated for my tiny, limited capacity, still evolving brain, I keep going back to my trusty Box Brownie 1mp Kodak DC3200.

Your spot on Turbo my company gave me an Olympus for use at when doing quotes and the software was very complicated so i sent it back to them and said i would use my Kodak instead :D

Got me one of them Kodak c743 and it's 7.1mp with 3x zoom and dead easy software and real easy to use as well. It does video as well with sound and the quality is very good oh yeah the cost was a wait for it $238 not bad at all I thought.

looks like Kodak is the way to go looking at the rest of the reply's

I like the Cannon cameras,I just bought my wife an IXUS 70 & it's an awesome camera & the cannon zoombrowser software is easy to use.
7.1mp, 3x optical zoom, video/sound etc etc....
The thing I really like is the rechargable lithium battery which lasts an unbelievably long time.
Hardly Normal is advertising them for under $300 now, if your going to buy one off ebay be sure it's a genuine model cause the chinese ones are crap.

These sort of things can help as well mate: http://www.whatdigitalcamera.com/equipment/Digital%20Camera/698/index.php

Just do a search on digital camera reviews. Everyone will give you there own report on their camera but sometimes the guys that try them all can compare them all and steer you clear. Make sure the place you visit is totally covered in ads though as they could be biased. As with anything, don't rush in!
