Which camera should I get?

[sfgamfan717]

So I was wondering what you guys thought would be a good compact camera in the 150- 200$$ price range. I am currently thinking about getting the samsung TL110. Link: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/phot ... returnurl= What do you think?

Ive had nothing but good experiences with Nikon and Cannon cameras. Those are your best bets. (in my opinion.)

^ Nice camera

We're forgetting his budget. He said he wants a point and shoot.

This seems to fit many of your requirements. It also has a nice 5x zoom.

Only $109

http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-Stylus-Di ... B0011EAA0O I have this one as well. Had it for a year or too. Very nice point and shoot camera. Waterproof and shock resistant (so you can drop it). It's served me well, and still does when I can't bring my SLR to Six Flags 'cause of stupid lockers.

What he said. My previous camera was also a NIKON point and shoot; it went through hell and back and still takes nice pics.


I use a Nikon P80, there have been two newer models released since then; the only real improvement in them is a longer zoom but quality isn't as great from what I hear. It's pricey...ish, but you get alot for your money.

It is a point and shoot, but has TONS of manual features; and if you really learn how to use it you can get SLR-quality photos with it. Be careful about running it in full-auto mode, anything not in the bright sun will be extremely noisy/grainy. Most of what it does pick up, however, I can eliminate in Photoshop.
