preferrably it should have only 2 buttons: on/off and shoot

Answer by NoraCat
I would recommend a Kodak digital camera, one of the simpler, lower-priced ones.

Answer by Carl_the_Truth
Nearly any camera sold now is idiot proof. Just place it on automatic and let the camera do all the work. You didn’t say how much you want to spend. I’d check out a join camera like the Fujifilm S1800. Not a terrible small camera. Once you feel more comfortable with it, it has features for a more advanced user.

Fuji Film A170.
Not only cheap but comes with basic simple features and produce excellent quality picture.

I bought one for my young nephew (12 years ancient) and he set it to natural light (day time) and auto for night shoot. He took many excellent pictures even if he is not a very bright kid.

The List PowerShot SD1200IS is a fantastic small camera that is 10 megapixel, plenty of resolution to shoot about anything and get large prints…bought one my wife who is not excellent with gadgets and she likes it. It’s about $ 150 if I remember right. I did reasonably a bit of research and this one excellent really excellent ratings.

Hazard Reef Tidepools starting point. Digital Photo Walk at Montana de Oro’s Hazard Reef Tidepools, led by Jerry Kirkhart, 09 Jan. 2009. 25 public attended this most well loved event. Event description says: Bring your SLR Digital Camera and a Macro Lens or a Point and Shoot that has macro capabilities. Beginners Welcome. A Marine Biologist will show techniques of macro photography of tide pool organisms, and the safest places to walk. Wear non-skid shoes so you will BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE IN TIDE POOLS! Meet at the Hazard Reef Parking lot 1.6 miles past the MDO entrance sign using the Pecho Valley Road . See Photomorrobay.com for more info. (S) 1 mi., 1.5 hr. Reminder that on Friday, Jan 9th, there will be a -1.61 low tide DPW walk for anyone interested in macrophotography of intertidal organisms. The walk will start from the Hazard Reef parking lot at 2:15PM (notice slight time exchange from first posting), in order to give time to work the tide out and photograph all intertidal life possible. The tide and we will not wait for late comers, sorry. Instruction will be agreed by a marine biologist on how to use your macro lens and to photograph and ID marine organisms. Instruction will also be agreed on where the safest place is to step and what algae to not step on too, for best safety. Any camera with macro capabilities can be used. We should see Chaffey Limpets, Gum Boot Chitons, some nudibranchs, hopefully Octopi, and many others. Wear warm clothes in layers. Park about 1.6 miles from the MDO entrance sign in the Hazard Reef Parking lot, and we will hike to the ocean. Please call Jerry Kirkhart (805) 534-9198 or email if there are questions.

I have an interest in photography and want to know what would be the best digital camera to get. I have a Sony Cybershot but I’m ready for an upgrade. I’m on a budget though. I’m willing to invest $ 450 for starters. Thanks!

The Nikon D40 is a fantastic digital camera for amateurs, and it fits your budget. I use a Nikon D40X which is more expensive, but I reckon you’ll like the D40. Check it out.

Answer by SgtPepper
Get a Nikon D40.

Don’t go for D40X or D60 since D40 has some very excellent advantages over these models. D40 has better noise performance and the flash Sync speed is a huge plus. The price is nice too.

Answer by miwa
Nikon D40 is fantastic choice for your budget.
