 |
|
I have an OLD sony digital camera that came with my TV 5 years ago.
Looking to upgrade to a $150-$200 range, for general purpose picture
taking.
Not really sure what to look for. I figure something with a good
optical zoom lens. Much of the picture taking (I wouldn't insult you
pros by calling it "photography"!!) will be outdoors. Golf course
stuff. Something small, which I imagine everything is pretty small
nowadays for non-SLR cameras.
Movie captures aren't important as I have a DV camera for that.
Firewire or USB is fine...
TIA! |

Go to http://www.dpreview.com/ and then "buying guide" and "side by
side". You can compare your old camera with any one off the list.

First, I advise reading the latest Consumer Reports. This will at least get
you started on the right track.
yeah, it will help him to know to avoid any device that CR rates highly.
Usually IMHO and experience, most of what CR rates as good is crap. |
