Budget
* What budget have you allocated for buying this camera? Please be as specific as possible.
Between $75-$150. I'm on a tighter budget, being a teen.
Size
* What size camera are you looking for? Or does size not matter at all to you?
Something relatively small that I take with me.
Features
How many megapixels will suffice for you?
3-6, but preferably 4 or 5.
* What optical zoom will you need? (None, Standard = 3x-4x, Ultrazoom = 10x-12x, Other - Specify)
3x-4x.
* How important is “image quality” to you? (Rate using a scale of 1-10)
Pretty important, I guess...I would like good quality pictures.. 7 or 8?
Do you care for manual controls?
Features like this would be useful, but not necessary.
General Usage
* What will you generally use the camera for?
Pictures for web, printing out 5x7 and smaller.
* Will you be making big prints of your photos or not?
No.
Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos?
Yes.
Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos?
No.
Miscellaneous
Are there particular brands you like or hate?
I prefer canon/nikon.
Are there particular models you already have in mind?
No.
(If applicable) Do you need any of the following special features? (Wide Angle, Image Stabilization, Weatherproof, Hotshoe, Rotating LCD)
My sister's camera has Image Stabilization and Rotating LCD, so if it's possible to get within my budget, that would be great; I doubt it's possible though.
Thanks so much for any help. =]
