Canon PowerShot SX500 is the camera i bought. i paid $229 for this whole package. however now it is little more $260 to $270 because few in stock. "Nikon Coolpix L820 16MP 30X Optical Zoom Black Digital Camera" is another equivalent camera . this one is selling for cheaper price $200.

I also bought the zd710 for $149.00 at Wal-Mart, and I was very disappointed. I have always been pleased with Kodak cameras but this one failed to deliver. I plan on returning it and upgrading to another model. Perhaps the z712? Although, $149.00 is an excellent price for this camera and it's features, I would recommended to K. Schenewerk that she also return it. In my opinion, when large sums of money are being spent, I expect to be satisfied. (Definately if it is an investment that will be with you for a while). Search until you find what pleases you.

Zoom in works for me BUT for just $100 how much camera are you really looking for? I get very good airial photos, but bounding around up there, I snap a lot and save a few. Don't zoom much from the plane.

Thanks, Zachary. I am leaning very heavily toward this camera. My only other options are the Kodak Easyshare Max and the Pentax K-R, though I'm not sure I'm ready for a true DSLR. Best of luck with your purchase - and I hope you share some photos and opinions!

CX150 has been dead for a long time. Its replacement was the CX200, I prefer the CX300 of course. They just go up in quality and price. CX200 is the cheapo model and the CX400 is the reasonably expensive one. They have a lot more that just increase in price and quality. I prefer the CX300 because they are sub $50 and are great. The CX400 is ok, kinda overpriced for what they are, really just nicer looking CX300s. They with a holder, case, and a bunch of other stuff,

this is a wonderful camera, & if you are a real photo buff--I would buy the camera with one lens, & purchase another longer range than is included in this kit. 200 isn't quite far enough. The stuff with it you will probably never use. A cleaning cloth, extra charger, filters(not special),tri-pod. I hope this helpsthis about $100. less than I paid..but I'd still do it different if I did it again.

To L. Jones : I have a new SX230HS, and this was an excellent post ! You are right on. I also have a feeling you are a Canon support rep., but thanks anyway ! You are right, some people believe there is a magic $200 camera out there, the size of a disposable, and the performance of a Canon DSLR. I think the SX230 is a very usable unit.A lot of $100 cameras can stop motion outdoors, but I'm not aware of any $200 camera that can in low light unless you use flash.

"There are other cameras in this class that are faster and have far better sensors with far better ISO capability."You failed to list these cameras and their prices. Could you please post some links? Maybe there are some models I am not aware of.

How about a Canon Powershot SD940is, it recently had a price drop to $200, I believe it was like $230 or $240 before. The model is a year old but I personally prefer the design of the older Canon models. At $200 it's a no-brainer. Also, a Sandisk SDHC card:

Interesting post about the Sony W90. I was thinking about it as it was cheaper. It isn't cheap enough to accept the problems you highlighted. I will buy a Canon.

I was able to find a D40 kit for $400 a year ago. If you are going to pay $650 you might as well get a D3000, or even better a D40, a second lens, and maybe some accessories. The XS is a decent camera as well, it really depends on what ecosystem you want to get into. Both Canon and Nikon make nice cameras, I think you'll be happy with a camera from either.

I'm also trying to decide between the Nikon Coolpix P90 and Olympus sp590uz. I mostly take pictures of wildlife, but need an occasional picture of family or knitting projects in doors. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks,

Check out the D300s - if it's beyond your budget, get the D90, not the D300- It's outdated. The D90 is an awesome camera. I have it.With the extra cash left, you can buy a lens ;)

I'm in the same dilemma as Costco offers both. D40 for $649 and Rebel XS for $699 with extra telephoto lense. In the past, I had bad experience with Canon camcorder as it stopped working just after 2 yrs, and I know few people whose Canon products stopped functioning too.I guess, Nikon D40 is the ideal choice.

Hi Mr. Hewitt (I wonder if we have any relation?) Anyway, for a true beginner (as in you've never used anything but a point-and-shoot) I'd recommend you get a Nikon D40 and an 18-200 VR. Keep the 18-55 kit lens, you'll find it lighter when your just taking snapshots of the family or whatever. The D40 is an excellent starter camera, it has almost all the tweaks of this much more expensive camera without the weight and cost. The D300 has many advantages over it, but I really feel you'll learn a lot faster with a simpler camera, and step up to this when your ready. I actually started out with a D40 a bit over a year ago, it made starting out quite fun. The 18-200VR will follow you as a great lens on the D300 too, and you can use any newer AF-S lenses on it. If you have older AF-D Nikon lenses lying around that you want to use, a D80 is also a good place to start. It's easier to make the custom tweaks you'll learn about in your photography classes on the D80, but it still has Auto modes as well to get you started. Checkout www.kenrockwell.com, especially his recommended camera page. He's a bit more eloquent than I am. And I wouldn't be so fast to recommend the D60 to anyone, it's just the D40x's guts (plus active D-Lighting, but without the other enhancements of the D300/D3) with a different name stamped on it. I wouldn't recommend the D40x or D60 to anyone, they exist to fill a price point to compete with Canon. If your eyeballing either, jump to the D80 and don't look back.

The Nikon D50 would be a perfect starter camera...just don't pay too much for it(150.00 of less). Pair it with the 18-70 lens and you will be able to take outstanding photos. If you like the results, you can always upgrade later. I've had mine for years and use it as a back up, but I love the quality of the pics from the D50.

The T3 Canon is a great value. It would be a good camera for anyone including professionals. I use it for landscape photography with great results.
