Corpun Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 Well, my GF just busted the lcd on her digital camera so I'm trying to help her find a replacement but I really know not a whole lot about what really constitues a 'decent' budget digital camera. Anyone know of a good site to read up on what are some good choices so I can start to look for deals? Thanks!
RossMAN Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 What is your definition of "budget" digital camera? How much?
kelbel0731 Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 a really good site to compare prices and get reviews is shopzilla.com

beth_m Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I have been using www.cnet.com for all my electronic reviews before I purchase. Hope this helps.
Mike Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 steve's digicams dpreview imaging-resource Once you've found the camera you want, check the main page, Gottadeal.com, and watch for the next deal on it.
alimfp Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I agree with CheapArse, dpreview.com!! They also have awesome forums for a lot of the cameras (esp SLR's (expensive ones, lol)). :)
Corpun Posted December 6, 2005 Author Posted December 6, 2005 What is your definition of "budget" digital camera? How much?Sorry, 'budget' isnt very specific is it, heh. I'm looking in the $100-250 range.
Corpun Posted December 6, 2005 Author Posted December 6, 2005 And thanks for the many suggestions all!
adiazdeleon Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 I just purchased a new digital camera a few months ago and the site that really helped me was www.dpreview.com. Very informative
RossMAN Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Here's a great digicam, the Canon PowerShot SD200 Reviews
Marcster Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 I bought a Kodak Z740. It's a 5MP w/10x optical zoom. I really like it, and it was only $248 a few weeks ago at BB. The best deal I've found for it is this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16830170030$260.99 + $5.99 S/H www.stevesdigicams.com is a great place to do your research.

alimfp Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 I personally have the Canon Powershot A95 ($400 new). But the Powershot line seems to be very nice and reliable. I love mine! We also had an Olympus and bought my Mother in Law one as well. Our Olympus was 3-4 years old and did very well, and we sold it to a friend and it's still working. Mother in Law's is very nice, it was $150 new from Target. I forget the specific model though. I highly recommend Canon or Olympus for that price range.
