HERE IS ANOTHER ONE NEEDING HELP

by christiamsp Mar 8, 2006 3:22AM PST

I hope someone could help me. I want a camera that shoots nice pics and have cool features as video and sound recording. In fact this is something important to me. I don?t want to pay more than $350 since i?d probably spend another $50 for memory card (512mb)
I rarely wil print the pics but i want them to look cool on my screen. Just the nicest pics will be printed. I don?t mind the ?X Zoom since i normaly take landscape pics. I?m not a papparazi.
I hope to hear from someone soon.

Thanks a lot.

Good Photos and Cool Features

by snapshot2 Forum moderator Mar 8, 2006 7:04AM PST

The biggest bang for the buck is the 5 megapixel Canon A610.
It sells for under $300.
Canon also makes a 7 megapixel version (A620) for $370.

Enough cool features to keep you busy for months.
It even has a fold-out/tilt/twist LCD.

There is a review here:
