Today I wish I had a digital camera, so that I could take pictures of the gorgeous snowfall we had last night. Yes, yes--all you techie buffs can laugh incredulously that I don't already have one--go ahead, laugh! I do have a digital video camera, but I don't have the cord it needs to connect to the computer or the card to take still pictures with it. That expensive toy has been sitting collecting dust on the desk. I also have an old-timey point and shoot camera from the late 1990's, whose case has cracked, which has made it possible for me to rationalize buying a new camera. I want a camera that's really easy to use, and is not too expensive. I want to be able to take pictures and download them to Facebook without having to use the scanner, which is conveniently located in another dimension (my husband's basement lair). I want to be able to post pictures here instead of (apparently) illegally using Google images, which I have tried to remove from past posts, but which still bring me lots of interesting international visitors.
So, any suggestions for a good camera for a digidummy?

Unfortunately, my advice is to buy something on clearance (I did) and just use it. I bought a "discontinued" POlaroid. So far I haven't gotten to printing pics with it yet, but I do now have pictures. The camera I want is the Canon for $550. It will be at least 2 to 3 weeks before I can afford that (haha).
ReplyDeleteAny of the Canon Elphs are good, and they've come down in price over the past several years. We've got one, and if I can use it, anyone can
ReplyDeleteEr, using Google images is illegal? I'm in trouble.
Calamity Jen--Thanks for visiting!! And thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteI think I meant images that came up when I googled them, not images that belong to Google. Is there such a thing? Are there good places to get free images?
