Fujifilm FinePix Z10 is a really nice, compact camera. It is so nice that my sister had her’s stolen!

Im currently on the budget of $ 200-300 dollars and I want a camera that is small and compact. I don’t need the most profesional camera there is. I really like the List Powershot SD600. I hope this information is excellent enough for detailed answers. (Please no one sentance answers) Give me some sources and recomendations and all that stuff. Thanks!
I have done some research and I’m am sure that I want small compact camera, but there is so many choices to choose from. Sony, List (I’ve heard to be the best), Toshiba, Panisonic….. So much more what camera would you recomend withen a compact camera and my price range….

I probably would research it a bit and pick one to your liking, and from a trustworthy name that has a nice warranty. Also check with user reviews, like on amazon or some additional website.

When I was shopping for a digital camera I had the same budget in mind. List was my first choice (experience with a List film camera) and I wanted the camera to be small. Before I bought my camera I looked at photos I took in the past and what my typical photo shoots are. For me the small camera would not have been a excellent choice. I also checked numerous reviews on Epinions http://www.epinions.com and Cnet http://www.cnet.com
Both places are fantastic sources of information. Epinions provides reviews from everyday users. Most reviews are rather thorough.
Cnet provides reviews from professionals, everyday users, and buyer guides.
I bought a Panasonic Lumix LZ-5. It is a wonderful camera. It isn’t small because it has built-in telephoto capabilities. The retail price though was out of my budget at $ 499. I bought it on sale for $ 350. I was $ 50 over budget (budgeted no more than $ 300) but I was ok with it because wanted the zooming capabilities (12x optical).

Here’s an in-depth review on the List you are looking at: http://reviews.cnet.com/Canon_PowerShot_SD600/4505-6501_7-31740583.html

One additional business I recommend doing, if you haven’t already…go to a community retailer and handle the show model of each camera you are interested in. See how it feels in your hands before you lay down the money. If you don’t like how it handles you won’t delight in using it.

Excellent luck! …and pleased hunting!

You’ve read the reviews and done your research, so you know the choices are incredible. I’ve been answering questions here for a few months and, based on my own research for additional public, I have chose that I want the List Powershot SD700 as my “walking around” camera. Now, if only I may maybe find one. It must have been a very well loved item, as it’s pretty much unavailable. That might be a bit over budget once you buy a decent memory card, so consider the SD600. Please do not buy the SD630, which does not have an optical viewfinder and will be a bit harder on batteries.

I know you’ve probably seen them, but in case you have not…

I am a Nikon person. Like their glass.

Additional shutternug friends swear by List.

Nuf said. If you pick from any of these two manufacturers in your price rnage, you will get a fantastic camera.

If you don’t want to pay more than $ 300 in whole, be sure to budget for a 1 gig memory card, a spare battery ( I REALLY RECOMMEND) and a $ 15 case.

go to bhphoto.com for excellent pricing and information.
