Are you on a budget but still want to buy a good
digital camera?
Well, that’s great because I've compiled a list
of the top 10 digital cameras out there going at under $300.
When choosing a value-for-money digital camera,
remember that it should offer great features and excellent photo quality,
all at a reasonable price. That said, let’s have a look at that list of
cameras. Here we go …
The Nikon Coolpix 5200 has a 5.1 megapixel resolution
and a 3x optical zoom. With its excellent picture quality, battery life and
camera optics, this is one of the best-selling cameras out there. The body
of the camera is also very well-designed – you’ll find that it’s very
comfortable to hold it while shooting pictures.
Another hot seller, the Canon PowerShot A95 is a 5 megapixel camera with 3x
optical zoom. Photo quality is excellent, with sharp
and vivid colors. Overall, this is one of the best point-and-shoot digital
cameras you can buy. Highly recommended.
The Fuji FinePix E550 is an interesting camera with 6.3
megapixels image resolution and a 4x optical zoom. There’s a nice, big 2
inch LCD screen, though the camera body itself is slightly bulky. Still, a
good value given its price.
The Sony CyberShot DSC-W1
one of the most popular digital cameras at the moment. It is compact and looks
very stylish. With a 5.1 megapixel
resolution, 3x optical zoom and a very generous 2.5 inch LCD, you’ll be hard
pressed to find a better camera in its price range.
I currently
own one of these babies. The Canon PowerShot S500 is a wonderful
point-and-shoot camera with a 5 megapixel resolution and 3x optical zoom.
It’s a great camera for traveling and snapping pictures on the fly. What’s
more, its one of the most stylish cameras too.
The Pentax Optio S5i comes with a 5 megapixel
resolution and 3x optical zoom. Its capable of taking very good pictures and
there’s a surprising number of features packed into its small, compact body.
The Olympus
C-765 is a 4 megapixel camera with an amazing 10x optical zoom. There is a
nice feature set, including a wealth of white balance settings. Very good
camera to buy if you want to avoid the standard Canon or Sony models.
The Kodak EasyShare DX7630 is a great camera with a 6.1
megapixel resolution and 3x optical zoom. The small, yet feature-packed body
allows you to take great pictures and video too. It
also runs on rechargeable batteries, making it one of the best
point-and-shoot cameras out there.
With a 5 megapixel resolution and 3x optical zoom, the
Casio Exilim EX-Z50 is one of the smallest digital cameras out there. I found
that it’s got a pretty big LCD screen, fast response
time and decent battery life, Recommended for those who want a very small,
compact camera that takes good pictures.
This is a 3.3 megapixel resolution camera with a 10x
optical zoom. The powerful optical zoom is a big plus – it’s tough to find a
camera with a 10x zoom in this price range. It also runs on rechargeable
batteries and shoots great looking pictures. I highly recommend it.
Conclusion
Ok, we’ve gone
through many good-value digital cameras in the above list. Which one would I buy
if I were in a camera shop? It’d be a tough choice between the Canon PowerShot
S500, Kodak EasyShare DX7630 and Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z1. When you head out to
buy your own camera, do bear in mind that digital camera prices are dropping
everyday. So shop around, it should be easy to find a model that suits your
needs and yet fits within your budget.
