Need Help With Selecting A Digital Camera
Decorating By Firstlady Updated 5 Dec 2006 , 2:58pm by tiggy2
I have a Hewlitt Packard and have had no problems with it. You want to get one that is at least 5.0 pixels. I love having a digital camera. I can take a picture of my cake then pull it up on my computer and, for some reason, I see things in the picture that I didn't notice when just looking at the cake and can go back to the cake and fix it before delivery.
I have two, one is a Vivtar, kinda crapy but did the job until I get a better one. I recently purchased a Kodak Easy Share from staples.com for under $200.~. It came with the printer dock which is great beause not only does it print the pictures on it's special, inexpencive paper and ink packages, it charges the internal battery as well!!! I've used it and only it ever since.. handed the other one down to hubby for work purposes lol.
I love the Kodak one because it has the printer dock station with it, you can get the ink and paper sets in staples for cheap and they also have mega packs of 4 inks and 4 packs of paper. It's great because if someone would like a picture of their cake at time of delivery I can snap and print right there in under 3 minutes. Good luck with your search! 
For the best pics even up close ones, get one with at least 5 pixels. Also, make sure it does not reqire the rechargable batteries or regulare batteries for power because you'll be spending a fortune on batteries alone. I also like the ones with the memory card not the stick, just easier to work with.
I ditto the Kodak Easy Share. My business bought me that one and with the printing dock as well and it's great. Zooms perfectly, prints professional pictures, and charges great too.
I have the Kodak Easy Share also. I love it and it is so easy to use. Takes good pictures also. I took all my cake pictures with it. Only one was bad.
My mother got one before me 
got it for Christmas last year and I fell in love lol. I had to help daddy pick it out cause he's not tech-savy lol... But I fell in love!!!! So tax time rolled around and I went hunting and found an excellent deal on Staples.com I think I paid $160.~ for a $400.~ camera and printer 
Went to walmart and staples here in town and got a nice bag to carry it all in, it says epson on it but hey who cares lol
All I can say is......... I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!! MY KODAK EASY SHARE!!!! 
I also have the Kodak Easy Share and I love it! I got it on an early bird special on Black Friday last year. I have used it for over a year with no problems. It is so easy to use.
I went from a giant Olympus C-5050....takes great photos...lots of options, but is bulky......to a Canon Power Shot sd400 (now they are up to I think sd700)......all I can say is that this bad boy doesn't leave my side. It's the size of a cell phone....it just stays in my pocketbook...always. The quality is fantastic....mine is 5 megapixels...but they are now up to 7!!! It comes with the battery and charger. Fast charge...lasts a long time. I highly reccommend this to everyone!
I have been looking into a good digital camera. So I am Happy to see this thread. Thanks for the tips. I was looking at the easy share. Glad to know it does what it says 
I love love love Olympus - I bought one 5 years ago from their Camedia-line and even though it was only 3,2 MP it was fab and took very sharp pictures. Then it got stolen. And I had to live with some crappy camera that took awful pictures - which shows if you look in my photo folder here on CC. So yesterday I bought another Olympus, an X-760. And I love it.
I'm SO happy to see this thread because I'm also searching for a digital to purchase because the developing costs are starting to get old when it comes to cake pics and gambling whether or not the cake pic came out well.
we have an hp as well and i love it. before this one we had a cannon and boy i thought it was great until i got the hp. we got the r817 its 5.1 mega pixels have up to 40x digital zoom. the software that came with the camera is great. it has a charging dock the usb cord plugs into the dock it wont drain your battery. you can set the setting so that when you take a pic it will be in color/ black white and sepia!!! it also can dock onto most portable picture printers. love love love this camera!!!!! ohyeah we got super lucky it was the last one at our local target no box so we got it for 70 came home to see what it sells for normaly how about it was selling on hp website for about 350.00 walmart had it for 325.00 and best buy had it for 345 so we got an awsome deal.
I shopped for a new digital camera a few times in the past year .. didn't get one ONLY because I found other things to spend my money on!
I have an old GIANT brick Olympus 3 megapixel that takes phenominal (sp?) photos.
I asked a few freelance photographers and they all swear by Canons. A few people I work with have a Canon SDXXX (from 400 to 600) and LOVE them. It's what I'm planning on getting when I'm ready to cough up the $$$ for it. Rave reviews of all the Canon SD's.
We just got a new camera for Christmas this year. We have a Canon Powershot S3-IS. It is awesome!!! I don't understand quite everything about it, but my husband is really into it and is learning a lot of really cool stuff about it. It was around $400 at Circuit City. We did a lot of research before buying and thought this would be the best one for us. It has 12x optical zoom, 4x digital zoom, a flip out screen and a normal view finder. It also takes video. I am pretty sure it is 6 mega pixels. It might be seven, but I think it is 6. The flip out screen is very handy to take pictures from above something if you need to. It is a great camera!
I have a digital camera right now but am planning on getting a new one. The one I am after is a Cannon Rebel SLR. It is supposed to be one of the best and comes in a 7 and 10 megapixel version. It is like having a 35 mm camera with the ease of a digital. My husband has done a lot of research on the camera and it is supposed to be one of the best out there.

Sony makes a 10mp slr that is really nice, the canon is a great one too! I'm hoping for one of them with our tax return!
