mommatomany Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 One of my kiddo's broke our camera the other day. I'm looking for camera suggestions for a good point and shoot camera for under $250. Our last one was a Nikon and I really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 :bigear: I just bought one and DON'T LIKE IT. I thought they were pretty much all the same. I bought a Sony Cybershot. Almost every picture I take is out of focus, even if I take the time to do the "halfway press" thingy, which I hate. It takes too long to just take a picture, so grabbing and trying to get something quick is totally out of the question. Cost about $100 too...

Desert Strawberry Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I LOVED my Kodak C series camera. It broke and I replaced it with a pretty red Nikon. I like it so much less. My pictures are fuzzy, out of focus, and just all around poor quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I got a Canon Powershot SX 130 last fall, and I really like it. It's a great camera at a very reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigitte Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I bought a Canon PowerShot SD1300 last year, my third and last Canon. I get better pictures with my Blackberry and iPhone than I do with that camera. My first digital camera was the same one only an earlier version and it took beautiful pictures. My kids broke the lens, so I bought another Canon but a different model. It lasted about a year before it started having problems. So, I went back to the ELPH and I haven't been happy with it since I bought it. I always bought Nikon when I had film cameras and I think I will go back to them when I scrape together the funds for a new camera. The kids can have this one. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the4Rs Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 We bought a Canon PowerShot S95 last year. I can't remember how much it cost but it is EXCELLENT. Reviews are outstanding. Really it takes very clear pictures and even great HD video. I went to Africa with it because I didn't want to lug around a huge camera with lenses. This is small and portable and I got some amazing pictures from it. And durable too. I was at an orpahange for a week and the kids kept stealing it from me. It was wet in the ocean, rubbed with sand everywhere...etc and still takes amazing shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
