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 …
Nikon Coolpix 5200 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.
Canon PowerShot A95 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.
Fuji FinePix E550 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.
Sony CyberShot DSC-W1 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.
Canon PowerShot S500 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.
Pentax Optio S5i 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.
Olympus C-765 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.
Kodak EasyShare DX7630 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.
Casio Exilim EX-Z50 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.
Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z1 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.
