Recommendations for Inexpensive Digital Camera

I've had experience with Kodak, but I much prefer the one that is not rechargeable. It's easier to just replace the batteries (2 AA). Otherwise, you have to stop using the camera until the battery is charged up again which usually means going to an electrical outlet. I make sure now that any new camera I buy is not rechargeable. These cameras keep going down in price. Kodak has one on their site for $79.

Kodak EasyShare is the least expensive of the reputable manufacturers, that I've seen, with the price hovering between $70-$100 and up.

I bought one for 20 bucks, sucked big time took it back. I have a pink kodak one, cost 80 dollars, fantastic. I absolutely love it, has all the good features. Good zoom. Got it from walmart. Then I seen big lots had exact same one about a month later for about 1/2 price, so check there.

A magazine entitled Consumer Reports can be found at a public library.

I was going to post the same thing as foxrun about the zoom. Spend your money of the best optical zoom you can afford. My digital cameral is around 10 years old, and I've used the digital zoom only a couple of times. It reduces the quality of the image -- makes it look pixelated.

Good luck - hope you love your new camera!

I would go to a camera store and see if they have any preowned cameras they may have taken in on trade. Also look for people wanting to sell their camera. A lot of cities have books for sale that advertise used goods for sale. I have bought several digital kodak cameras because for what I use a camera for they deliver very good pics. Two thing you should keep in mind. Buy a camera with the most pixels and camers usually come with optical and/or digital zoom lens. Forget the digital. The important zoom lens is the optical one.

What type of digital camera do you recommend? I would like an inexpensive, very easy to operate camera, that comes with all the software I would need.
