need help deciding...

[Lothiriel]

we are planning on returning the Fuji Finepix camera we got. why? the software is awful!
we kinda need help deciding which one to buy now. we would like a canon or sony. trouble is: which one??? we'd like to keep it under $200, with at least 6x optical zoom. anyone???

Try looking at the cannon power shot series.

Personally I don't ever use the soft ware with the camera... actually... I took mine out of the box and put in rechargables and after market memory card...

Just see if you can get a plug and play camera and copy and paste files. That way you don't end up with tags and junk attached. If you do a search on "digital camera" you might be able to find a few of the threads on cameras.

Thanks, silkie. i noticed that so many of them said that they like the Kodak EasyShare cameras. we have one--the reason we need a new digicam. but ours is a puny 2 megapixel thing that we can't even find online.

it is totally ridiculous. we'll look into a kodak maybe. also the panasonics, canons, and sonys. thanks again!
