New Camera help!

coshkara · July 8th, 2007

Not sure i should post this here or not but I am looking to buy a new digital camera for arround 200-300 us, Anyhow does anyone happen to know what to look for as far as how fast you can click off pictures? or have any suggestions of a good camera please help if you can.

Here is a link to one I was looking at Dell Outlet Home & Home Office: EasyShare Z712 IS 7.1 MP 12X Zoom Digital Camera

What are you looking for? Compact, SLR-ish, lots of optical zoom, big screen, etc? If the zoom isn't all too important, I can only recommend the Canon Powershot A630. Quite inexpensive, 210, but excellent quality. But if zoom is important for you, that Kodak camera is great for its price range... unless you want to wait for a good deal for the Canon Powershot S3 IS ;)

i'm actually considering to buy this in a couple of weeks as soon as payroll comes in...

Buy the Samsung NV10 Digital Camera - Black and other Point-and-shoot Digital Cameras at circuitcity.com

right now its $222.99

Actually I will use it to take pictures of moving objects so main thing i want is to not have the pause that some cameras have, picture quality is a bonus as well as zoom. I am just not sure how to tell how fast you can take a picture when you push the button to the time it actually registers, Ive missed a ton of great pics due to the 1 second pause in my current camera.

sounds like you're looking for a DSLR. most of the normal digital cameras take a second or two in order to take the shot and if you are shooting moving objects, it doesn't work too well. i've got the nikon D50 and i love it. it is an entry level DSLR camera and you are looking at around $500-600. maybe prices have gone down though, you'll have to look around. i know nikon released the D40 recently. canon has some nice ones too.

Cool, I'll look arround some more before I make a decision. Thanks all for the info on the subject. I only asked here because a lot of you submit some really nice pics. Thanks again.

I got a Canon Power Shot S3 IS, with a decent memory card, it will do around 1.8-2.5 pictures per second in "sports" mode.

How much did that run you Lead? already figured I will have to up my budget some for a good one, just wondering the price on it. Or if you could post a link.
