Hello guy's,
I'am seeking a digital camera.To just take good pics of myself with.That I can download onto my home pc.Because,my webcam;takes very horrible still's.
My bud get is $285.00 max

Camera's I'am considering:
1.)Nikon Coolpix L1

2.)Olympus SP-310

3.)Casio Exilim (EX-Z110)

4.)Sony Cybershots (DSC-90)

5.)Sony Cybershots (DSC-W5)

I'am just wanting a decent camera;that'll put my pics onto my computer.
And do it well.Basically seeking good picture quality.


Thanks for any advise or suggestions,Clint

If your budget is just for the camera itself - there is no beating the Canon A610. The current price from a respectable dealer is approximately $250.

DIGIC II processor, tilt and swivel display, 5MP, 4X optical zoom, terrific software bundle, AA batteries and an array of manual controls.

Personally, I prefer Crutchfield - lifetime tech support, 30 day money back guarantee with free return shipping, no sales tax, free shipping, etc.

I have a coupon for $20 off you can use. The camera is normally $299 - currently on sale for $279, then subtract the coupon to arrive at $259. They are also "throwing in" a free camera bag right now - worth a few bucks.

There are "cheaper" places to buy one, but definitely not a safer, or better, place with similar guarantees and service. Let me know if you want the coupon - it is a "code" that I can E-mail you.

Ciao!!

Guy's this Canon A610
Really was a great choice
I love this camera!
For someone who doesn't wish to spend about $400-800.00 on a digital camera.For under $300.00.You can get;what I would label as the cadillac of camera's under the 300.00 mark!
It has plenty of features.And even beginner photographer's can grow with this camera.
