Digital Cameras?

With my baby's due date approaching, I'd really like to get a digital camera. I feel like I'm the last person on earth without one.

I was wondering if anyone could make a recommendation for a good one under $300? We don't really have the money to spend much more then that right now. But I've seen some digital photos that were very grainy also and I want good shots of my little one.

I'm also adding a poll to this. Wondering how many people are left that still use traditional film for all of thier pics, like me!

We have an Olympus Stylus. I love it. So easy to use. We've had it for 2 years now and no problems.

I have a cybershot also and I hate it. It takes too long to snap the pic and then the baby ends up moving. The flash does this flickering thing before it takes the pic and the baby looks a deer caught in headlights. I plan to buy another one in the next few months.

There are so many models, so I'm not sure how different they are. I have the DSC-P72. Try it out and see how you like the one you bought. It may turn out that my model s u c k s.

Re: Digital Cameras?

I don't know which model Cybershot I have, all I know is I can't stand it. Like steph said, it takes too long to shoot the picture, and no matter where I get the photos developed, shutterfly, walgreens, cvs, I NEVER like the quality...everyone always looks orange-toned.

It is great - no complaints! Almost two years old already. It is a Pentax Optio 750Z.

I think we are going to buy a second camera - NIKON D80 soon, but it is on the larger side - depending on of we want to go big or small depending on our outing we will still be using both cameras.
