Want a new digital camera for Christmas...

[lvponies]

I accidently dropped my Kodak digital camera and could no longer push the button to take pictures Dern it.....hubby fixed it for me. I would really like a new camera for Christmas. I've loved my Kodak, but have had it for 2 years. I want something faster to take action shots. The Kodak is really slow. What cameras do you have that you love? Price range would be $300-500.

Thanks!!

I am partial to Canon. They are not the cheapest but one of the best in my opinion.

I have an A70, they have come out with a lot of new ones since then.

Here are a couple of links to read about different camera's

I have a Fujifilm FinePix A101. Less money than you're willing to spend, but I love it. I posted some sunset pictures yesterday if you want to see what kind of pix it takes.

I have to say I really like Canon. I have had the same camera for 2 years and its never been messed up yet!

Pentax makes really good cameras. Hubby got one a digital a few years back that is water resistant to about 15'. Not a bad idea if you plan to use it around your horses.

I switched (SLR camera) from Canon to Pentax. I'm saving for a digital SLR now. Canon's aren't bad.

If you want a dual camera, JVC now has one on the market that will do video and still photos without any tapes or discs. It is called the JVC Everio. It is about palm size and comes with it's own harddrive. It does have a slot for an SD card, a USB port to direct download. If you get the one I want, it is the most expensive, but it can record up to 7 hours of DVD quality video on it's drive. The best price on it is at www.abesofmaine.com.

Depends on what you want it to do. Go to these two sites and read what is recommended, which does what. How much you want to spend, etc.

We got a Cannon PowerShot A95 after l wrecked the Cannon Rebel and l like it much better seems way easier to use but l think l need to buy a lense to get better far away shots.
