I'm not a photographer but I would really like to get into photography and taking pictures!. I want a camera that is affordable (around $225 max) and easy to use and hook up to my laptop!.
Please leave links and descriptions, thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: For the price you are asking, I'd recommend the Panasonic DMC-FS20S ( http://www2!.panasonic!.com/consumer-elect!.!.!. )!. It's not the greatest point and shoot that Panasonic makes but you didn't give a price range for that!. The only other comparable (and actually better than that Panasonic) would be the Nikon P5100 ( http://www!.digitalcamera-hq!.com/digital-!.!.!. ) in around that same price!. Www@QuestionHome@Com If you really want to get into photography with that price range, I suggest going film!. Buying an old film SLR, TLR, or range-finder will get you better pictures for cheaper!. The only thing you have to worry about is buying and developing film, then scanning the prints if you want them on your PC!. I won't go into this any further than suggesting models, because I'm not so sure you want to go this route!. If you do, ask another question about it!. Fujica ST801 Minolta X-700 Canon AE-1 Now, if you want a digital, then a point-and-shoot is probably all you can afford at that price!. My favourite for this category is the Canon PowerShot SD1000!. http://www!.amazon!.com/Canon-PowerShot-SD!.!.!. That's damn expensive for the Amazon price, so click on "used & new from:"!. A lot more affordable!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com When I told my parents I was getting into photography and wanted a somewhat nicer camera!. They got me a Sony Cyber-shot H10 DSC-H10/B!. It's pretty nice for starting out with photography, in my opinion!. It has a lot of features that some digital cameras don't have!.!. It's about $280!.!.
