choose a decent digital camera not over $250

by raedeane Dec 21, 2009 10:47PM PST

I would like my camera to display good color on prints up to 8x10, have an anti blur feature on movement photos, be automatic in adjusting, as I am an amateur, connect easy to my computer, and shoot videos.

What would you suggest. I currently have an older Olympus C-740 and every photo I shoot with the least bit of movement blurs.

Olympus C740

by snapshot2 Forum moderator Dec 21, 2009 11:52PM PST

The C700 series of Olympus cameras have been popular for years.
It was among the first cameras with 10X optical zoom.
The lack of image stabilization was a problem for many people.
When shooting at 10X you do need something to help steady the camera for quick focus and for a blur free picture.

Since you are accustom to a 10X zoom, take a look at the current group of compact big Zoom cameras.
All of them have image stabilization.
Here is a review comparison:
