Hey all,

My parents want/need a digital camera, now just wondering what you guys think would be sufficient. They don't want to spend too much money not like me and my ixus 50 :D, they're looking at spending about $200 not including a memory card.

I was thinking maybe the Canon A410 or something, but i'm a bit weary of the longevity of AA batteries. My dad keeps asking me what about a kodak as they're pretty cheap. We've seen a Kodak Easyshare Z700 from Wow for about $196.00 click or the canon
A410



So any information whether Kodak are good cameras? and any other camera suggestions?

cheers.

just get them nimh rechargeable batteries... they last like 600 shots and rechargeable
u could even power girly cars with them

I have a canon powershot A75 which I like, takes 4AA batteries. I have rechargable batteries that for the ammount of time I actually use the camera, last about 3 or so months before needing a recharge (I rarely ever use the camera) and take only a couple of hours to charge. I have a kodak camera that bites as much cock as a homosexual dragon the size of the earth. That's a whole lot of cock. Batteries, any kind, last about 5 minutes in it, takes crap photos, no zoom. If you're gonna go kodak make sure it has optical zoom.

want me to take a picture of something with the a75?

They could also go something second hand on ebay etc etc


ps. I love my canon powershot s50... its less noob then me.

yeh i know canon are relatively good cameras. although i do feel differently towards them now after my experiences with them, my old 1 year old ixus IIs came up with a dead pixel that showed up on photos. so i took it back to canon under the warranty and they replaced with the an ixus 50, i was stoked. funny thing is that the same problem happened to my sisters Ixus IIs aswell about 2 weeks ago. Therefore my parents are a bit worried about a canon, but i seriously can't imagine kodak to be any better lol.

ben, Kodak like massive amounts of penis.

I'd consider pretty much anything before a kodak.

The canon would be a lot better in image quality... but I bet you knew I'd say that.

benneth, wanna see dead pixels? should see this when my camera's ccd corroded (or at least had moisture damage when the epoxy degraded) :P at least sony listed it as a manufacturing defect and fixed it for free (but the stupid agent still charged me $60 to diagnose the problem...)
