What's a good camera (non digital) to get?

[LordJezo]

Nothing too fancy, no SLR..

Just want a nice little camera to take around on vacation and stuff, has a decent zoom, and takes nice pictures.

Any advice?

What I own and recommend

I'm more into the digital cameras now, and very partial to Olympus.

just sold one of these yesterday, impressive zoom

If you stick to the big names: Olympus, Nikon, Canon, Pentax you probably won't have any problems. I have an olympus which is about 8 years old and has given me absolutely no problems.

If you want APS, you're on your own. I hate that sh!t.

If you opt for zoom dont go beyond 120-140mm.

I suggest you stay away from the APS type of camera, meaning you should get a little point and shoot 35mm type. I say this mostly, because APS negatives are stored in the film canister making it hard to store the negatives with the photos in a compact and neat fashion.


how much are you going to spend?


personnally i love my SLR camera. can't beat it for picture quality....

At most about $150 I suppose.

decide how much zoom you want, and if you want a compact camera.

smaller will cost you more. more zoom will too.

I guess those canon elphs are nice, but use the APS film i think.

Out of curiousity...why?

My wife won't use anything but an APS camera and I'm currently looking for one for her. She really likes the three different sizes of pics.

Personally I don't use anything but my digital, but she gets ticked at me when I don't print off enough pics for her precious photo albums.
