Default Digital Camera Help

i am looking for a digital camera online, looking to spend about 250 to 300 total, but i dont want one of the crappy ones ive herd of, i have herd that some digital cameras the picture comes out horrible, they look fuzzy, so which kind do i look for, what do i look for when looking for one that tells me how good it is, Does Mega pixels make a difference, is 5.0 good, what about brands, Sony? Kodac? Panisonic, any help whould be great, also looking for one of the flat square type ones, thanks

I would look at Nikons and Cannons first, Kodaks last.... Megapixels do matter, go for a minimum of three. Probably the most important thing to consider is optical zoom, you want a minimum of 3x.

A great website to buy cameras from is www.newegg.com . I bought a higher end Nikon there for a couple hundred less than everyone else offered it.

that one is ok, I guess I am pretty closed minded and really would just push a Nikon such at this one:

one of my buddies has this camera:

It is really good too, allows a lot of control over settings. I am not sure what all you can adjust on that Nikon, some let you do more than others.

basically all the name brands is something you have to consider... 5+ megapixels is great.. basically shop around.. checkout walmart.. or some place that allows you to look and play with them. most can take short videos too..

things to consider:
Megapixels - higher the better
digital zoom - ability to zoom after the picture is taken
optical zoom - allows to zoom before you take the pic
mpeg4 - short video
portability -

my suggestions.. DSC Tseries by sony or the olympus stylus 800 (we have both) very nice

I just got this casio ex z500, (in black) and I absoultly love it, the 2.7in lcd is pimp, but the best part is how fast it takes pictures.

have 2 olympus.. Love them. ive seen like Kodak n other brands that are really cheaply made and bulky.. only shitty ones i can vouche for are kodak.

Oh.. and buy rechargable batteries .. they die so0o fast in digital cameras. I just bought 2200maH rechargable energizers and they last like 5 time longer and then u just recharge them.... 4 batteries and charger = $25 give or take a few bucks at like Walmart.
