what kind of personal digital camera should i get?
 

im looking for a new digital cam for personal use for taking pics with freinds at parties/clubs/etc.

what should i get?

Canon ELPH digital cameras rock.

Depends on your price range but IMHO, Canon is the way to go.

But WTF do I know? Not like I take pics for a living or anything silly like that. :glugglug

Here's what Santa is bringing me:

You should ask Santa for a shitload of AA batteries too because you are going to go through a shitload of them.

ALWAYS get cameras with Lithium batteries. Lithium lasts a lot longer and is way cheaper in the long run...Even when you consider buying a spare battery.

I can shoot 4800+ pics on a single set of lithium batteries but AA's can't even shoot 1/10th of that.

FYI, you can get lithium batteries for about the same price as an 8 pack of AA's on eBay.

im thinking about

it looks good but still easy to use

any of the canon cameras should work out well for you

i like the nikon coolpix range ...

canon makes great cameras :thumbsup

i am in love with my sony cybershot.

i have a canon PowerShot A620 and i love it. it's not tiny but it's pretty small and when i took it to the l.a. auto show, it did great in pretty much any light. has full manual controls but auto is good stuff, too. also has an optical viewfinder but i find myself using the flip and twist lcd. great battery life and since i use rechargeables, life is good :)

I love my nikon ... 4600

Flagship model. :)

Another great make in Digital Cameras is Panasonic. Great image stabilization features, and amazing Leica lenses.. Great 10x zoom on this one too:

i have fuji finepix s5000 ... my shots are always standout when comparing to 7mp olympus and 4mp cybershot.

Anyway buy from a reputable online company, don't be fooled by the bait and switch scam companies ... Take a reliable one, such as this one:
Digital cameras :thumbsup
