Whats the best digital camera I can get ($150-200) range.?

Question

Very fast shutter speed is the main thing I want. I have young children and always seem to have them moving before the picture is snapped. I don't really care about the colors of the camera or how big the screen is as long as the picture is good and the shutter speed is quick. I don't need professional quality just a good family camera that will have good battery life. Any links would be very nice so I can look at that too. Thank you!

Answer 1

Fast shutter speed is not an issue here. ALL cameras, and I mean ALL have fast enough shutter speeds to stop the motions of a speeding car, let alone young children. Your issue is with ISO and FOCUSING speed.

Get a camera with a high ISO range, preferably those which have greater than ISO 800. Also focusing speed is very poor on cameras in the $200 range. That's because these cameras would be the point-and-shoot (p&s) type rather than advanced SLR type.

Almost all p&s have slow focusing, so you're likely going to get lots of missed shots. Every SLR camera beats the focusing speed and ISO range of a p&s camera hands down! But, you're gonna have to spend at least $450 for an SLR camera. Something I would recommend is the Olympus E410 SLR camera.

Answer 3

I got this camera recently and i like it alot. It is very good at taking pictures while moving, and has very good video quality. The battery life is very good also, compared to my old digital camera, and the lcd screen is a really good size.
