Simple point and shoot digital camera recommendation?
Group,
I need a simple camera to replace an old Polaroid camera used for documentation. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Other requirements a * Optical zoom, 3x is fine. * View finder * Easy to use, legends easy to read, buttons easy to use. * Battery life good - enough for 75 shots hopefully. * Film speed equivalent 80 to 800. * LCD 1.5" and easy to see in most daylight. * Action shots (kids sports such as soccer, softball, etc.) * USB and PictBridge compatible. * Low price. 3M pixels enough, but 5M ok. Some of the preliminary candidates I have found so far a * Kodak EasyShare C433 and C533 * Canon Power Shot A430 * Nikon Coolpix L4. Thank you for your time. Dave |

Dave I think theres so many out there that you could just about buy anything. I suggest sticking with a known name though, my preferences would be Canon, Nikon, Sony not necessarily in that order.

For best battery usage, use NiHM batteries. With the Canon the 4 battery configuration A6** has the better battery life. A610 is a very nice P&S camera for not much $. Tom |

Try the camera screener:
http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/cameraList.php Or try consumer reports. or www.dpreview.com you requirements are so low, just about any current camera fits. So just buy the cheapest one you can find with a known brand name. "Dave Boland" wrote in message ... Group, I need a simple camera to replace an old Polaroid camera used for documentation.
