Are either of these digi cameras worth buying?

Question

My lady love is buying me a digital camera. I've never owned one before and I really look forward to getting started. I am a total beginner. Some of you have already given me some great ideas regarding the best beginner cameras at prices we can afford. I am hoping for the clearest shots possible and the best zoom. Many of you told me to stick with Canon, Nikon or Kodak. I may still do that but we found some sales going on this week and I'd love to know your opinions on these cameras:

Samsung (8,2 megapixel, 5x optical zoom and 2.5 LCD screen)

GE (7 megapixel, 3x optical zoom and 2.5 screen).

I have a GE landline I despise so I worry a bit about them and I'm not sure how Samsung holds up though it does seem to offer a lot. Please let me know if you think I should wait or look into these. We really do need to keep the price low (def. under $130 or $140) but I want to get the best one possible and am more than willing to wait a bit.

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you want really good quality I think you're best to go for a Canon or Kodak with at least 4.0 megapixel.

I wouldn't take a GE camera if it was free. :P

Answer 3

I have been a user of a Canon film SLR camera for quite a few years and have been very happy with it.. However I was considering upgrading to the digital equivalent until I saw that it would cost approx £450, (ouch) ! !

I bought a FujiFilm Finepix A800 with 8.3 megapixels for about £90.00. In comparison with my Canon it is a simple point and shoot camera with a good zoom lens and has a higher spec than needed, but I have been really impressed with the definition. When I enlarge the images with my Photo editing software there is hardly a trace of pixellation  I'm so impressed I have hardly used my Canon lately.

They say that you cannot distinguish any increase in definition over 5 megapixels, but it depends what you want to do with the images.

Remember, generally speaking it is the lens that gives the 'quality' to a camera so you can't go wrong with the old established names like Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc.

Sorry, cannot translate British pounds into US dollars.

Best of luck and enjoy.
