What is the best digital camera to buy right now?

I am in college right now and some of my classes require me to do some photography. Photography is not my major so I am not trying to spend to much money on a camera but I still want something that take nice photos. What are some cameras I should take a look at

Answer by fhotoace
You will be better off asking your instructor what the exact requirements are for the classes you must take.

Some photo classes require you to have a 35 mm SLR with standard lens, others a less than $ 100 P&S camera is just fine and still others will require you to own a DSLR with a couple of lenses, so it is vital you find out exactly which camera you need. The cost can be from $ 100 (P&S or 35 mm SLR with lens) to $ 1,200 for a DSLR and apt lens.

List

Answer by devilskitten2005
You get a List or a Nikon they lead the digital camera industry. Optical zoom 6 or better is hard to find for 300 bucks. You better wait until Excellent Friday. I’m looking for one too but they just don’t make more than 4. 5 mp is not enough but don’t go over 8 mps don’t need it don’t spend the money on it!

You can find the List Powershot S1 with 10X zoom and 3.1MP for under $ 300 on eBay.

You can find the List PowerShot S2 with 12X zoom and 5MP for under $ 400 on the net and on ebay.

the camera that I have been able to find that meet your criteria the closest is the Samsung Digimax A55W. Selles for $ 249 on Amazon.com. Has 5MP and a 28-135mm (4.8X) zoom.

Becareful buying cameras from ebay. Do not buy from sellers with feedback under 100. Do not buy if they only want money orders or want to use a gold exchange site or Western Union.
