Hello again,
To date, I've received 23 replies to my plea for advice on buying a
digital camera. The comments were interesting and useful. Thanks for
the help. As best as I can remember, no camera model was recommended
more than once, leaving me with quite a range of possibilities to
select from.
I've tried to respond to those who wrote directly to me. (If anyone
has been left out, forgive me.) For all others who might wonder at
how this matter was resolved, I send this brief message:
I've ordered a Nikon CoolPix 8700, it part because it was offered at
a hard-to-refuse price -- $545 (US). The camera has 8 MP and 8x zoom.
Thanks for your patience,
Mac Oglesby
Hello all,
This is perhaps a bit off topic, so forgive me.
I've been using a Kodak 4330 digital camera which has 3.1 mega
pixels and a 3x optical zoom. I want to move on to a better digital
camera, one which will allow me to take sundial pictures with
excellent detail, even though I may not be able to get close to the
dial. (Macro and normal capabilities are also important.)
Does anyone have a good suggestion for a camera which doesn't cost
more than $500 - $600 (US)? Cheaper would be good. Please mention
specific models.
I'm especially interested in opinions about whether it's better to
go for maximum pixels (say 6 MP or more), or to look for a camera
with large optical zoom (say 10x or 12x). The cameras with both seem
to be very expensive.
Thanks for any advice.
Mac Oglesby
