A Blog Favor about Digital Cameras

Ok, so I mentioned on my "back from vacation" blog post that my camera was pretty much destroyed by water on vacation. I got too close to the water while taking a picture and a wave splashed my camera. The flash is dead and there is a big water spot in the lens. Otherwise it works perfect if you want to call that perfect. I know, I should have not gotten that close to the water with my camera but I wanted some cute photos of my son.

Anyway, I'm asking all of you out there in the blogosphere to help me out. I am shopping for a new digital camera and I need to know which one to buy. I've been looking at them for a week now at several digital camera review sites but havent found enough sample photos to make my decision. So I am turning to all of you.

Here is what I need. I need for each of you to tell me what kind of digital camera you use and send me in the direction to where I can view a few samples photos that you took with that digital camera so I can see what is out there. My price range is between $100-$300 (It's possible that I may be able to go a tiny bit higher than this) right now. If you own a DSLR then don't bother sending me a link to your photos because I cant afford one of those right now. LOL.

Below is a sample of a photo from my damaged digital camera. See the water spot? And I dont have a flash. I'm sure this camera can be repaired but it would probably cost alot so I'm better off buying a new digital camera.

I have a Fujifilm Fine Pix a205. I got it free with my Dell Laptop. It may only be 2 megapixels, but it takes just as good of a picture as a 5 megapixel camera.

Most of the photos on my Flickr are my camera. And all of my Self Portrait Tuesdays :)

Good Luck!

I have a fujifilm finepix A345. It's 4.1 mega pixels and I think it takes great pictures. It was a gift, but I think its about $200 canadian. I have pictures on my blog, chcassaday.blogspot.com. All the pictures are of my kids but some of them are in different light and they all look great.

Hi,
I have a Sony Cybershot with 4.1 megapixels. I love it. Pretty easy to use, and the memory stick fits right into my computer. Pretty much most of my pics on my blog were taken with this camera.
I am not sure of the cost, as it was a Mother's day gift from my husband a few years back.

I have a Kodak EasyShare. I love it. I know it could take better pictures if I really wanted it to, but I never try.This is my 2nd Kodak EasyShare, I just keep upgrading.I'm itching to upgrade again.

Ditto with the Sony Cybershot. Love my little camera for the price it was. Of course I dream of a better one when I have a extra couple hundred lying a around!

The water spot doesn't look all that bad. And? A lot of my best shots of my girl were taken without the flash!!
