Digital Camera...is this a good deal?

Absolutely. I am a big fan of Canon, Sony, and Nikon. And thats a nice camera for that price.

Very good! We have the powershot A620 7.1 megapixel. I think we paid $300 for it. THe model you posted is the one that came out before ours. I recall it getting very good reviews.

Re: Digital Camera...is this a good deal?

Thanks D!!

Like I said, I had a Sony (a 3MP CyberShot) and it just died on me. Sony things are great...and then they die!!

I just want crisp, clear pictures. My Sony took blurry pics at that.

Re: Digital Camera...is this a good deal?

Thanks Barbara. I don't want to spend more than $150. Is that impossible for an SLR?

Re: Digital Camera...is this a good deal?

I have a cannon from 3 years ago and love it but the shutter delay is a big problem when trying to take a picture of a moving toddler. We will be upgrading to a new camera this year. I told my husband to just go and buy disposable cameras, but he is a techno junkie and that just wont due.

Re: Digital Camera...is this a good deal?

what kind of batteries does it take cause the ones that take standard double a's dont have a charge that lasts too long so you want one with a litium ion battery instead but it looks like a nice camera.

Re: Digital Camera...is this a good deal?

where did you get that price?

If you want crisp, clear pictures the best way to go is a digital SLR. I know I post this all of the time so sorry if I sound like a broken record. It's the only way to avoid the shutter delay.

If you're looking to go for a more inexpensive route - I'd say the Canon you picked is top notch. If you're looking for the last camera you'll buy, opt for the SLR.

Re: Digital Camera...is this a good deal?

definetly go with a cannon - i fnd the pictures to be very clear for average people taking pictures

i have noticed a lot more blurry pictures with other brands of cameras

Re: Digital Camera...is this a good deal?

I LOVE Canon Powershots....my first was an A80 4 MP.
Now we have the PowerShot A630 for $299 at Best Buy.

They are so easy to use and they come with so many features!

SLR's that I have seen are at least $600-$700. so unless you want to buy a used one, stick with your original plan
