My wife is wanting a new "good" camera for her birthday. She has a pretty good Sony point and shoot camera, but I think she is wanting something a little better. Can anyone recommend a decently priced camera? Thanks.

I don't know what your budget is but the nikon coolpix cameras are nice
ReplyDeleteDo you want to stick with a point and shoot, or move up into DSLR?
ReplyDeleteOlympus has the E-420 with a 14 - 42mm lens for about $ 450, and Nikon has the D-40 with an 18 - 55mm lens for $ 500. The extra $ 50 for the Nikon would be worth it, in my opinion.
Best PnS: Fuji F200EXR
ReplyDeleteBest professional compact: Panasonic Lumix LX3 (low zoom though, Canon G10 for higher zoom but with more bulk)
Best superzoom: Panasonic TZ7
Best entry DSLR: Nikon D40 (Nikon D90 if money is no object)
If you are really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, check out the P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 [with a Leica lense] which has more features than most pro DSLRs that require auxiliary lenses not even equal to the single initial full-range lense that comes with the FZ28.
