Gporter34 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 I am not very smart on these cameras but I definitely want one. I noticed that WalMart and Radio Shack both have digital cameras for under $100.00 for BF. Which one is best?
RossMAN Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 How/where do you plan on using it? Are you going to print pictures or mostly email them?
Gporter34 Posted October 23, 2005 Author Posted October 23, 2005 Mostly print. I have 5 kids who are very active in school activities. Parades, family gatherings and for loading pics on my computer for website. BTW, thanks for helping...
RossMAN Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 I would buy the HP Photosmart E317 for $98.88 @ Walmart Review: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0508/05082301hp_e317.asp Decent specs but it does lack optical zoom
Gporter34 Posted October 23, 2005 Author Posted October 23, 2005 Is that going to be important for what I am going to use it for?
Gporter34 Posted October 23, 2005 Author Posted October 23, 2005 I have an HP scanner/printer/copier with a pictbridge. Will that work the same?
EYGLE Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 I would bet that more digitial cameras will be offered. Best Buy, Circuit City those places have great deals on BF. Bought my laptop last BF and love it.
fingerlakesmom Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Ok I am like below preschooler when it comes to what makes one better than another, what you want price etcetera. So tlel me which deal we have seen so far is the best and why PLEASE USE small words I know how to sue one and that is about it Oh yeah one less than $150 thanks!
0p71mu5pr1m3 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 If you look at CompUSA's list there is a HP 5.1 MP camera with a free printer for only 129.99, and it appears no rebate. From what I've seen listed this I think is going to give you the most bang for your buck. 5.1 MP (megapixels) is more than high enuff for just amatuer basic photography, and at 129.99 you can't beat that. I myself am looking at picking one up on BF.
tapmba Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 The same camera at walmart is $99. Don't go by the Printer deal. The printer is definitely not worth $30. I had bought a camera on a similar deal a year and half back. Once the ink gets exhusted, it would make sense to buy new printer as the ink catridge are very expensive. My take on the best camera would be the one that is on BF deal at Costco. Pentax 6 MP camera for 130 after rebates.
tyler99199 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I am in the same boat when it comes to DC. I do like the ones that come with the printer dock also. But will it really save me alot printing the pictures myself
Spotted1 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Kmart has a Polaroid 5MP listed in their BF ad for $99.xx .. but I can't seem to find any reviews or information about it.

all4linkae Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I definately wouldn't waste my money on a printer!! Go through winkflash.com that do a great job and its CHEAP!
tapmba Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Ink catridges cost some $30 and print 500 pages max. Where as laser printer catridges costs between $50-$60 prints more than 3000 pages. If you need printer to print only pictures taken in your camera, then it would probably make sense to go for this printer. However if you buy the photo paper and print it yourself cost would come close to what you pay to get copied of your photos from say Sam's club.

landfill Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Kmart has a Polaroid 5MP listed in their BF ad for $99.xx .. but I can't seem to find any reviews or information about it.I purchased a Polaroid 3 MP camera last year for my daughter. The only good thing about it is the battery life. You can spend hours taking really crappy pictures !
