I reckon you are going to have to spend more then that if you want a decent digital camara

Answer by por
a decent digicam is usually gonna cost you about 300-400 minimum. for 150, theres very small options that you can get for a groundbreaking new camera

There are MANY cameras out there, but I can only comment on the ones I know personally. Nikon Coolpix 4600 (4 megapixel) or 5600 (5 megapixel plus video) are both under $ 200, even including a decent sized memory card (512K to 1 GB). I have many digital cameras and I am never disappointed with the results of my 4600. AND – it uses “AA” batteries instead of expensive special batteries. It’s about the size of a pack of cigarettes, too. There are newer cameras that I am not as familiar with in that price range, but since you said “excellent, small, cheap,” this is one (two) I can really recommend from experience. There are newer Coolpix cameras, but I admit that I am not familiar with all of their features. I take upon yourself that the quality of the photos is at least as excellent as these grown-up models. I’d say to just be sure you get one that has an optical viewfinder, though, because you can’t always see the image in an LCD viewfinder.

Here are a few samples. These pics were taken with the Coolpix 4600 with no tricks or gimmicks or filters or anything. They had some “very minor adjustments” in Photoshop. If you bought this camera now, you would be able to go out and snap these pictures yourself.

That’s Venus up in the sky

There are numerous newer cameras that will still come in at less than $ 150, in spite of some of the others’ comments. Go to eBay and search on digital cameras and then order the search by price. Evenif you do not like to buy on eBay, this will let you know what’s available in your price range and then you can go to http://www.dpreview.com/ and start to browse around.

Personally, I like my Canon Powershot S2. See it at Amazon.com and read all the recommendations of users and professionals. The cost is $ 299, but it has quality.

My Digicam is broken, so I am digging through my CD backups
for some gems I might have. The series I am uploading are from the late 90s,
when the best digital cameras, were not even a megapixel.

Hi, I was wondering what is the best regular digital camera (not camcorder…I already have one.) to make excellent quality videos for youtube?

Also, I have an editing program (Video Explosion Deluxe) and each time I make a video on my Canon Powershot A85, it makes the quality even WORSE once I get it on youtube. (So terrible that it’s not even worth watching.)

If you could help me out, that’d be fantastic. Thanks!

The S5 IS is renowned for excellent video quality. Unlike most point-and-shoot cameras, you can really zoom while recording your video. It also has a dedicated video recording button, so with the touch of one button, you’re recording straight away. Also, the S5 has stereo microphones, but that doesn’t really matter for YouTube since I reckon all their videos are monotone.

Disney’s ‘Cats’ is gorgeous but violent
“African Cats” G – This flawed Disney scenery documentary, supposedly geared to family audiences, follows the lives of a few lions and cheetahs in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Southwestern Kenya. The filmmakers chronicled their lives for two-and-a-half being. The camerawork is intimate and gorgeous, but the animal violence is far more intense than a G-rating implies, and parents of kids …
