WHATS A GOOD AFFORDABLE DIGITAL CAMERA

The Olympus 2100 series ultra zoom is a nice camera. It’s got 10X optical zoom w/image stabilization. It's pretty flexible with the exposure adjustments if you feel the need to go there but simple enough to just turn on and use if you want. If you don’t need the extra range of the 10X zoom there are cheaper models in the Olympus line.

If you want true ease uploading to your PC you can't beat a Sony Mavica. It saves pictures to a standard floppy disk. It costs more than some comparable digital cameras but you just can't beat having your pics on floppies in my oppinion. I've had one for five years and it is still working great.

Digital camera's today use a removable media of some type Smart media card, Compact Flash and Sony's memory stick (some of the older Sony's actually use a 3 1/2 floppy). There are three main ways to get the data from the cameras memory cards to your PC hard drive.
1) Almost camera's today come with a USB cable that you plug one end into your PC and the other into the camera. some you have to use a special software package (supplied by the camera manufacturer) to copy them from the camera to the PC. Some actually allow you to use the windows file manger and act as a hard drive.
2) You can buy a card reader that you hook up Via a USB cable. The card readers are cheap and they basically function like a removable hard drive. It will appear under your windows explorer as the next available drive letter C,D,E.. You just take the memory card out of the camera and slide it into the reader and copy files as you would if they were on your C: drive.
3) the Sony's and some of the others actually have an optional special floppy disk that accepts the media from your camera. You just place the memory stick inside the special floppy and place it in your 3 1/2 drive. You then copy the files off as you would normal files.

Presser here is some food for thought bro:
I wanted to buy mrs456 a digital camera for her b-day last year. Anyway the lady at the camera store talked me out of it. She said digital cameras are for people who take tens of hundreds of photos of the same pose.Then they sort through them all...find the best and develop just that one. She said that unless you have a high dollar printer that they won't look good. No matter how expensive of a digital camera you buy. She said that you would be much better off just buying a nice normal camera if you like to develop all your photos. I guess you can smoke through a shitload of money in batteries and developing when its come to digital pics. Hope this helps bro...this lady saved me a shitload of headaches.
And just in case your wondering..yes she did have many digital cameras in stock...so it wasn't a matter of trying to talk me into something that she had
Still spent $300...but her cheapest digital was $599. :0

LOL ... seriously though... with a digicam you can take pics.. sort them out ... the ones you don't want you can toss.. porn pics are easy to make... uploading to the internet's a blaze .. as for the printer fuk that ... you want some pics made, burn a cd-rom and deliver it to the shop ... better yet use an online photoshop... canon ixus is cool.. the new one also has a video option or something ..
as for batteries they are rechargable .. so there..
i don't knock the non-digital ones though, but i'm young and not scared of technology ..

That is incorrect. They use normal floppies. At least the Sony Mavica does.

Check out this link. The actual floppies are used in the older Sony's like I stated above but the newer models use the memory stick. An actual 3 1/2 floppy only holds 1.44 megabytes of data. Most of the pictures taken by a 2+ megapixel camera taken at full resolution would not fit on a floppy without considerable compression. That's why the memory sticks store can 128 megabytes of data or more. Personally I prefer Smart Media or Compact flash camera's.

I know that HP is a piece of crap! There are still a few parts in my garage from when I threw it against the wall!
