Need camera just for posting on computer

Mar 23, 2005 5:11AM PST

I imagine this has been asked before but I am new here so please excuse me if it has. I am interested in purchasing a digital camera for posting pictures on the computer and email. I don't want to have to spend a whole lot of money but I want to get a good camera. Any advise welcome! Thanks!!!

You will be pleased to hear that just about any digital camera will serve you well.

There is no need for large amounts of megapixels, so you have access to all of the lower priced 3 megapixel cameras.
The most multipurpose is the 3 megapixel and 3X optical zoom.

The Nikon 3200 has been a popular low cost camera.
It is being replaced within a month by the newer model Nikon 4600.

Just the other day, I saw the 3200 on sale for about $175. The new 4600 will probably sell for $199.

Canon has the new A510 which sells for $199. I saw it on special for $199 and it included a free 128meg memory card.

Any of those cameras will work for you.
