What camera do you use?

[HorseFeathers]

I had a Kodak EasyShare, and it broke in about 2 months. The photos weren't too great either. I've had a procession of point-and-shoot digital cameras, all slightly out-of-date, and finally decided to spend my own money ($600 of it) on a professional-quality camera. I have a Nikon D60 DSLR and wouldn't trade it for anything! (Except maybe a higher model of the D's.) It's like the old 30-mm cams but digital, which is great. It was expensive though and if you don't plan on using it for your career (as I am) then you'd probably be best off with a nice Sony P & S.
Here's the D60 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-10-2MP-Digital-18-55mm-3-5-5-6G/dp/B0012OGF6Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1239967605&sr=8-1
And here are some photos I've taken with it (I have nicer ones , but they're not uploaded. Mostly macro of flowers, and some wild animals too.)

<--Editing the straw out of this one in Photoshop, but takes a long time without a tablet! That along with a telephoto lens are my next investments.

And this one was taken with my mom's Sony. Nice camera, top of the line a few years ago, very nice pics but you can't zoom very far or focus or change depth of field or shutter speed as you can on an SLR.

(ninjapoodles- I didn't know Sony made DSLRs! Neat!)

They actually bought out Minolta, so another cool thing is that if you have old Minolta stuff, it works with the new Sony stuff.

It was a hard choice between that and the equivalent Canon model, but ease of use won out for me in the end. (Although the Canon is also pretty darn user-friendly.)

I Have a HP Photo Smart 6x Opitical Zoom and 8.0 Mega pixpixels under $200 at walmart

I love my FujiFilm Finepix S1000 12x opitical Zoom and 10.0 Megapixels it also makes video's too About $ 250 at Walmart

I love them both and they have been very reliable and easy to use

A camera doesn't have to be expensive to take good pics.
Think of your budget and how much you will be useing it before you buy it.
I love these 2 Camera's and they take excellent pics.

Let us see some pics which ever you choose

I just got a PM from a member saying that they ordered a D60 because they liked my pics so much! I feel like an advertiser.

They'll love it though.

I love Canon. Here are some of my pictures...

They were taken with a Digital Rebel XT (older version of the Xti) and recently I upgraded to a Canon 40D.

I have also heard good things about Nikon, for what it's worth...

I had a Nikon SLR film camera that I LOVED .. and then a couple years ago (you know, when you go to a store and ask where the film is and people say "FILM??") I decided to go digital.

I will probably buy a Nikon D series digital at some point, but I'm very happy with the point and shoot digital I bought. It's a FUJI s700. I paid 182.00 for it online. It's a bigger bodied digital and I and ROUGH on my cameras.. carry them everywhere .. even when I'm riding (motorcycles AND horses).

So, for a relatively inexpensive better-than-average camera .. I suggest it. It's better outdoors than indoors .. but here are a few of my pics:
