the usual second part of the request is something like, for $200 or less. For that $200, many also want good photos, sharp lense, low light capability, video with sound, etc.
You need to say what your budget is.
...not 3 seconds later. I have a Kodak EasyShare, but when I try to take a picture of my daughter playing basketball, I don't get the shot. I push the button BEFORE she releases the ball, but the camera doesn't take the picture until after she has released the ball and her arms are already down to her sides. So can anyone tell me what kind of camera I am looking for to take good action shots?
Thanks!
