OT- which digital camera to buy? anyone using a Kodak easyshare z760?
need a gift for parents who are still using old film cameras!
What digital camera is best and easy with a reasonable price??
i have a minolta that is pretty good, but not simple to understand...
I saw the Kodak z760 easyshare on sale at wallymart... anyone have this??
THANKS for your input
If you're parents are anything like me then, i would get either the
fuji f10 for its ease of use and quality of pics under all conditions, low light etc... or the casio ex-z750, Steve's digicams has reviews for both of them
here
and Here.
Both of these were at the top of my list when i was looking for a camera for my wife recently.. In my case both of these had an easy to hold camera body that was still small but large enough for my thickened mechanics hands to hold... The canon sd550 that i had looked at wasn't that easy for me to hold and shoot with , which is a factor for some of us who don't have small dextrous hands. How comfortable a camera was to hold and work the controls was a big consideration to me, something which canon apparently doesn't take into consideration on their entire line of digicams. They need an old guy tester besides all the young people that test products for them.
The large lcd on the fuji and the casio both made it easy for me to see the
pic i was trying to compose. The camera menu is made easy on both of these to use for anybody who's not a gadget freak. simple easy to use menu's that you can set rapidly without fumbling around. Both of these cameras have very fast recovery from shot to shot, and both have over 200 picture taking capabilities on a single charge, the casio has the highest of any camera currently available that i've seen. I ended up buying a nikon because of the zoom capability and general nikon quality but i'm still thinking about buying one of these two for myself. The casio also has a docking station that you leave the camera in to charge or transfer pics, very convenient to use. And casio arguably has the easiest to use menu of any current digital camera. Pic quality is good on all of these , so for me it came down to how comfortable to hold and use for my hands, how easy to change settings , how long a battery charge lasted, how quickly its ready to take a picture from startup and and how long the lag is between pictures.
All things that were nitpicks on my first digitals that i bought 5 years ago.
