Hi all, I hope it was okay to start this thread (and put it in Artistmerge).
I need to get a new digital camera for a bit of traveling I'm about to do, but I'm not sure what type to get. I'm also not sure if I should look for one that uses a rechargeable battery or AAs.
What I've had for the past 5 or 6 years is the
Olympus Stylus Verve. It was a nice, small camera and perfect for my first digital camera. However, now that it's a bit on in years, I've noticed that there's a pretty long lag in time from when I press the "shoot" button to when the picture actually takes.
So far I've been looking at a Canon
Powershot, but I'm not sure which model.
Here's a bit of what i want:
Good zoom (preferably 4x), high resolution pictures, small-ish, and I don't even know what else because I don't know anything about cameras :-/ I was also told to find a camera with an optical viewfinder to make it easier to take pictures outside. I'd also prefer to keep the price at or under $200 US.
So, what I'm asking is, can anyone on Obernet give me some suggestions or throw me in the right direction? Or do you need to know more what I'm looking for, what I'll be taking pictures of, etc.?
