Canon EOS Rebel K2 35mm SLR Camera w/ EF 28-80 II Lens Kit from Canon Cameras US. The list price is around US$389.99.
I bought this camera from Walmart for my birthday present a year ago but had been drooling over it for longer then that. After a year i had to send it back to Cannon to have service because a problem when i first put it together (never put a camera together while driving it gets dust inside the mirror cavity). The camera cost me just under 200 the repairs and shipping cost me over 200 more and they didn't get the dust out! I've learned my lesson because the dust never shows up on a print(yea!!!) the pictures look great! I even achieved a stop motion on a fountain while not knowing what the heck i was doing. All i need now is lessons on how to use all the features that I've been playing with (usually without film in) all in all I love this camera and it's sad that it seems to be the last film SLR that cannon plans on making.

A very good camera. It is small enough to take with you and good enough to want to.

Canon EOS 30D 8.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) from Canon. The list price is around US$2100.00.
I bought this camera refurbished and have been quite happy with its overall performance. It is similar to the 40D, but with less resolution. It does well when looking at the [...] testing when compared to the Canon XXD series. I have shot roughly 4000 clicks without a hitch. The lack of a sensor cleaner is a drawback. The LCD could be bigger/better, but in the end that doesn't effect what is framed on the wall.
I have owned the XTI and much prefer this camera's feel and handling, but have to say the image quality appears roughly equal. More import is good glass!

Olympus Camedia C-4000 4MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom from Olympus. The list price is around US$599.99.
My parents gave me this camera five years ago when my daughter was born. Not having any real experience with cameras, I am just now learning to use the manual settings on it. Even so, I have taken some studio quality images using just the auto settings, but the images don't print well any larger than about a 5X7. My two biggest complaints are the lag time between pressing the button and the shot actually being taken, and the lens cover. I really liked the way my 35 mm had a lens cover that opened automatically when the camera was turned on, since about half the time, even after 5 years, I forget to take it off. My parents specifically bought a camera that had a viewfinder, but I must say I never use it.
However, I have decided I need to upgrade for more pixels. I would not recommend this camera to anyone, especially for the price I see here, because the newer cameras are better and cheaper.

I also bought an Canon Power shot S400 Digital Camera ...and it also stopped working a year ago with the "Memory card Error"..I was looking for a new camera...and saw that I wasn't the only one with that problem....I wrote to the Company and this is what they said.. "Thank you for writing to us. We value you as a Canon customer and appreciate the opportunity to assist you. I am sorry that the PowerShot S400 is giving you a memory card error. When memory card errors appear, a corrupted memory card might be the cause. Reformatting the memory card may solve the issue. Please follow these steps to format a memory card: NOTE: Formatting a memory card erases all data, including protected images and other file types. 1. Press the MENU button. 2. In the SET UP menu (wrench/hammer icon), select FORMAT and press the SET button. 3. Use the left/right arrow button to select OK and press the SET button.

I'm not going to repeat the positive reviews, but just state this is probably the best value camera I have ever bought! It's stylish, functional, affordable and absolutely TINY. What more could you ask for? Buy it now!

Olympus C-8080 8MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Wide Zoom from Olympus. The list price is around US$799.99.
I've owned by C-8080 for over a year. Several months ago, I bought a Canon Rebel XT DSLR. The XT gets better resolution, focuses and stores faster, has a broader dynamic range, and slays the C8080 in medium and low light hands down. Add an image stabilized lens to the XT, and performance-wise, the C8080 gets left in dust accross the board.
But I still often I pack the C-8080 and leave the XT at home. In good light or when using flash, the C8080 takes great pictures, with very respectable resolution and clean, bright, vibrant Olympus style colors. It boasts a lens with one of the widest front diameters of all the digicams on the market (and thus captures more light), and the quality of the glass is superb. Raw mode storage is slow, but the results can be wonderful---you can sqeeze one more level of resolution and color depth from raw. Comparable pictures shot with my XT would blow up to bigger size, but the C-8080 is more than adequate for the typical 8-1/2X11's that I print at home. The C-...

Remanufactured Minolta Dimage Z1 3.2MP Digital Camera w/ 10x Optical Zoom from Minolta. The list price is around US$499.99.
I have two little beautiful girls and I love taking pictures of them. I have had the camera for two years now and it works great. I have had no problems with it. The thing I love the most is that I can record a small video (depends on the memory card) and send it to my mom and my family by e-mail instead of having to send them a video of the girls through the mail. When I download the video to my computer it looks like I had taped it with a camcorder. It looks great. It also takes beautiful pictures and a lot of people ask me where did I buy the camera because it looks expensive but it really isn't. I even have a picture of my girls in the pool where you can see the drops of water perfectly when they splashed. It was worth the money.
