kfeusse Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I am wanting to buy a small, point and shoot digital camera with about 14 megapixels, and about a 5x zoom. I bought one on Amazon that had decent reviews and it seems to be a good camera except at night in our home when I look at the screen everything looks very yellow (from the artifical lights), the picture doesn't take that way, it actually turns out ok. My old camera never did that though. I can't decide if that will bother me or not...it does now, but I am not used to it. If I would get a differerent one, can someone recommend one for me...under $100 please. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3peasinWa Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I haven't seen one under 100 for the zoom you're looking for. Costco has an Olympus 12.5 zoom for $149. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfeusse Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 I don't want a 14 zoom...I want a 5x zoom...so 12.5 is too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest submarines Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I adore my camera. I've always had cannons, and loved them, but this one... I cried when I dropped for the first time. :lol: I actually ended up dropping it 4 times. Once on hard floor. It is dented. It had sand in it. And it still works so well, and I love the photos it takes. When DD dropped it for the 5th time and the battery flew out, and then I couldn't make it work...DH was about to give me the very same for Christmas. But then he fiddled with it, and it works! :D FTR, I've had 4 various cameras over the last 10 years and I haven't dropped any of them even once! :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfeusse Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 looks like a nice camera, but I can't afford that one...unless it is cheaper someplace else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHomeScientist Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Another alternative to consider is a phone with a built-in camera. I was just reading an article yesterday in one of the tech publications I follow. It was talking about plummeting sales for P&S digital cameras because cell-phone cameras were reaching parity in image quality and features, and are a lot more convenient. I don't own a phone with a camera, so I'm going by what others say, but I do know that when it came time to replace their P&S digital cameras a lot of my friends ended up buying a phone with a better camera instead.

kfeusse Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 interesting thought. I never considered it. I have a tracfone and although I know some models have cameras, I am not sure how great they are...can anybody enlighten me with that information??
