I want to buy a good working digital camera that takes good quality videos and pictures but not to pricey?

Question

I wanna purchase a digital camera that takes videos with good quality and I want the videos to last a while not just a few seconds, and pictures with good quality and the videos must have audio.

I don't want it to be too expensive.

Answer 1

The all time winner bargain compact digital camera is the Canon 7.1 megapixel PowerShot SD1000 [not the IS] 7.1 with an added 2- gig memory card which when set in the manual mode for "Vivid" colors and videos at 30 fps in 320 dpi format provides killer images and videos under low light conditions. It currently sells for $160 at Sears:

The Cannon SD750 (black) seems to be one of the best cameras for the money.  Also, consider similar cameras with optical view finders. This can really helps in bright sun.

There are lots of inexpensive cameras at Walmart.  Also, check Best Buy where you can get great advice and good prices.

The first source link will show you prices and reviews for lots of other cameras.

The second link will help you keep the battery and camera contacts clean on any digital camera you buy.   Digital cameras require lots of power so these contacts really need to be good to avoid problems.
