Which digi camera should I wake up @ 5 a.m. to get?

[Wlogan31]

With all the digital cameras on sale for cheap on Black Friday, I've finally decided to cave in and get one for myself for Christmas lol...

Only problem is, I know NOTHING about them...need help making an educated choice...

thanks

Get the $150 Kodak CX6445 from BB
4 MP, 4x Optical, Great lense. More like a DX camera than a CX

[Wlogan31]

Here are my options - someone tell me which is the BEST camera and then which is best for the $$.

thanks

Kodak CX6445 4MP 4x Optical Zoom Digital Camera $149.99 @ BB

Kodak CX7430 Digital 4.0 $199.99 (FREE RCA mp3 player with purchase) @ CC

Kodak CX 7300 3.2MP Digital Camera (w/ $20 Gift Card) $99.95 @ Kmart

or is there another to consider?

I'm also purchasing a digital camera tomorrow, but I'm not looking at any of the same ones. Here are some links:

I'm only looking for something that can fit in my pocket so I can take it with me out with friends, and then easily load the pics onto my computer. So I need something thin, and I don't require above 3 megapixels. I think you should assess your needs/wants, and find which camera works for you. Personally, the Kodak CX6445 looks like a great buy. Good luck on the purchase Wlogan.

Are there any deals other than Kodak? I was never impressed by the quality when I was selling them.

[stemartin7]

Gojtron, since you used to sell cameras, what digital cameras do you recommend for good quality picture with lots of features on the camera?

[Milkyman]

I've used canon, nikon and olympus digital cameras and generally i've always been more satisfied with canon's user interface , the menus and buttons just make sense, nikon isnt that bad but i really hated the olympus cameras. i dont think you can go wrong with a canon.

[Gojtron]

Milkyman speaks truth, although I did like the Olympus models. You have to be willing to deal with somewhat unorthodox design, but they produce excellent images. The Nikon Colpix line was an early favorite but kind of lost steam as they went along.

[jimbodan]

Eh... I don't like Kodak cameras. I'm a fan of Sony (mainly the V1, T1, 717, 707, 828) and Canon mainly. For far more information about cameras then anyone here can give you, I suggest you check out www.dpreview.com it's hands down the best site for information about purchasing digital cameras.

[stemartin7]

Thanks all 3 for information and thanks jimbodan for link.
