Canon powershot A95 best digicam under 300.

i'd also recommend a canon... depending on what size etc you want... any canon around $300 is a very good camera

 

[coffee33]

Any Cannon also.

eh... the canon only has a 3x optical zoom. booooooring.

after my last experience with a canon digicam, well, i will never be buying one again.

gotta go with canon. The pioneers of digital photography!

More on the store shelf for me... and millions of other smart people around the world who agree that a Canon (A95) would be the best bet.

Sony DSC-W5, I heard great things about canon but the things are so damn slow I had to go with the sony. Picture quality is great and features are great.

I got mine brand new in box shipped for $250 off ebay.

Dell has sales once in awhile where you can snag one for liek $240 or so

1st digital --> free, logitech...crap
2nd digital --> free, largan chameleon mega...crap w/ flash
3rd digital --> $150, canon powershot a60, took this pic with it...

4th digital--> $175, canon powershot a75, more pixels, bigger screen

Now I'm drooling over the a95 with it's roaving lcd

Another thing not always mentioned relates to the memory cards. The one I have now took compactflash and I opted for a sandisk ultra. The difference is huge when copying pictures through a good card reader. It's copied at about 7 megs via a sandisk firewire reader and 4 from a usb 2.0 internal.

Any of the Canon Powershot models have IS?

 

[Jodiuh]

Not the ones I've used. I carry a tripod for that, hehe.

I should do that, but it isn't always convienent to use one.

Is there any sub-$350 camera with IS?

Another vote for Canon I've had an A70, A510 and now a Digital Rebel XT, and I have to say, Canon knows how to make a digicam...

S1 IS, sometimes you can get the S2 IS for under that if you look for a deal

Fuji Finepix F10? I might buy one of those.

Canon A510, pick one up for $200 and then you'll have $100 left over for rechargeable batteries and a 256mb SD card.

I just picked up a Panasonic Lumix FZ5, it's got 2 image stabilizaion modes, it was roughly $350. 5MP 12x Optical Zoom

It's my opinion as well. My Canon Powershot takes excellent pictures for it's price range I think.
