Digital Camera Housing

What is the best budget digital camera in your opinion?

I'm just looking for an affordable digital camera (under $150) that's just a good everyday camera. I'm a novice when it comes to cameras so something easy to use, not something that is going to be used for important events or functions or anything. Just something to have around the house to take a picture when I want to e-mail someone a photo of me, my car, my house, whatever. Any ideas guys?

Samsung L100. Very good image quality, 3X optical zoom, 8 megapixels.
On line $115+shipping at Vann's.
Another decent bet would be the Canon A470. 3X optical zoom, 7 megapixels. Should be $100- or a bit less.

The Advantage of Buying Digital Cameras Online

The question at hand is whether there is an advantage of buying digital cameras online.  You are going to get a very mixed opinion on this subject.  There are really only a few options to purchasing digital cameras.  You either search the different retail cameral outlets, the major department stores, or you buy online.  Of course, there is also the option of buying from a flea market or discount house, but then you do so at your own risk.  You can also buy one off of a friend or relative but you know how that goes.  So, what is the advantage of buying digital cameras online?  Lets examine that question a little further.

 

The main advantage of buying online is selection.  The net is flooded with websites devoted to reaching the hungry digital camera consumer.  The number of websites that will offer you a variety of digital cameras is nearly unlimited.  Online you can find a separate universe of digital cameras of all makes, colors and sizes.  The best thing about that is, competition.  That’s right, they all want your business.  They will go out of their way to reel you in and make you a satisfied customer.  Therefore, they will cut deals, and prices in order to do so.  In many instances, you can save from $100 to $200 on a digital camera online, compared to what you would pay at a small camera shop in your home town.  On top of that, most websites offer free shipping as well. 

 

That’s hard to beat.  The main argument from those with the opposite opinion, is that you don’t get that personal, home town touch.  Yes, there are some camera shops that you can go into, where the store keepers are very personable and offer assistance in your digital camera apprenticeship, but is that very common, and even if it is,  does it make up for the huge savings online.  Some will dispute the fact saying that they can go to their local department store and get a good price as well.  Maybe, but there is no way that you will find the vast selection in any store that you will find online. 

 

In the end, it comes down to personal opinion.  The only thing that matters is, well, what matters to the individual consumer.  If money is not a concern, you are free to shop at your whim.  The decision is ultimately yours.
