I'm looking at digital cameras in the $200-290 range. I was going to get a Kodak dx4530 , but other than being 5 megapixels I have heard it isn't do hot. I'm also looking at the Canon A70.
I'd like for the camera to also be able to take good low-light and closeup shots (like underneath a car (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ). What can you all recommend? |

I'd also recommend you go for as much optical zoom as you can. I bought a Kodak DC280 2.1MP, 2X optical zoom back in early 2000, and love the camera to this day, but wish it had a little more zoom. It prints 8 x 10's ok, and I even recently had a 20" x 30" poster of the Z28 made up, and that came out remarkably well!! I can't believe I paid $550 for a 2.1MP back then, and $190 for a 96MB extra card.....man how technology changes!!! 3MP should be good, anything more than that is overkill for most people and the pictures take up more space on the memory card.
