Moms, what digital camera do you use for your baby?

Question

I know this is not "technically" the right place for this question, but I really wanted to ask the mothers of newborns. My husband and I are expecting a baby this November and need a great point and shoot camera. I take hundred and hundreds of pictures (we had to get an external hard drive) and love to scrap book. Any suggestions?

Price: No more than $250

Answer 1

My husband and I have a Cannon PowerShot SD1000.  It has 7.1 mega pixels and takes awesome pics!  We are very happy with it and spent under $250.  I think we got it at best buy.

You can always go to a best buy too and tell them what you are looking for.  They are very helpful there.

My baby girl is due in Nov too!

Answer 2

I have a Kodak EasyShare. I like it.

The Canon Powershot is a favorite amongst my momma friends. It runs around $179 at Walmart.

Answer 3

i just have a Canon "Power Shoot SD 600"

It's two years old now so there's probably a newer model out.  It's a good point & shoot. Has video too!

Answer 4

Canon PowerShot!!  I love it!!  I got it about 3 years ago, and still plenty more to go, I am a picture freak, just those 3 years I have filled a 250GB external hard drive!!  It takes awesome pictures, I think!!  If you wish to see the quality of pictures it takes, I would be happy to share, just send me an email .

Answer 5

I dont know how much my camera cost because it was a gift from my dad but I use an Olympus SP-500UZ and I love it! It is so wonderful takes great pictures. Has a timer and a scene function so it takes multiple shots in a row. There are alot more functions but I dont know what they are yet... Those are the only ones I really use.

Answer 6

Hi!  I love the Canon Power Shot.  It retails for about $275 but you can sometimes buy it on sale if you watch the flyers.  it is sooo easy to use and the software program makes your picture upload quick and easy.  Look it up!

Sony Cybershot. It has lots of settings on it and makes the pictures look like they were taken by a proffesional camera.

It was under 250

Answer 10

Answer 11

I have a sony cybershot. I love it I too take way too many pics. I have had two kodak cameras that both broke but my cybershot was the best money I have ever spent. It takes beautiful pictures and is so easy to use. The battery life is great I have no complaints about my camera and I even bought one for my best friend as a baby shower gift!! Good luck and Congrats to you.

Answer 12

I use the Sony cybershot. it is slim, light and easy to use. Also the pics come out great...even at night.

Answer 13

Mine is a fujifilm finepix. 10mega pixels and rechargeable lithium battery. Cost me $240

It is fast, takes great photos, easy to use, has video with sound.

10 megapixels is not necessary for everyday photos but it's nice to have for a few really nice photos. You can reduce the quality and still get good, clear photos.

Look for something with a rechargeable battery... my old camera took great photos but I had to replace the batteries so often and after maybe 10 photos the speed of the camera would slow down so I would always miss the smile or cute pose.

Good luck with bubs :)

Answer 14

fujifilm finepix on sale at target for $159

Answer 15

We just bought a Nikon CoolPix L16 camera and I love it!

It was 99 dollars.  

Answer 16

I have a Sony Cybershot, I like it. The only problem is, it takes forever to take pictures. Like five seconds. I heard Canon is the best one. Just one click and it captures right away. I will buy one on Christmas. I'm done with Sony.
