Seeking Digital Camera Suggestions
Hey all. I need to buy a CHEAP digital camera. Preferably not more than $150. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just good, clean pictures.

Re: Seeking Digital Camera Suggestions
I don't know a lot about what's good, since I only research them when I'm in the market myself, but I can tell you this; whatever you get, make sure it's got a macro function. It's for close ups, like miniatures, and is only missing on the VERY CHEAPEST (and I don't mean price) cameras.
If you're familiar with macro... don't assume it's there. Make sure you look for it.

I recommend Canon, the lenses on even their lower end stuff are good.

Re: Seeking Digital Camera Suggestions
I do like the Rebel I bought earlier this year. Granted, it's not a low-end, but I like it more than the higher end Panasonic Lumixes I owned prior.

Re: Seeking Digital Camera Suggestions
I would almost hate to say, that I have a very cheap camera... it is not even purely a camera, it is my cell phone. However, with proper lighting and strategy I get pretty nice pictures from it.
Here is a link to my business side of the forums. BTW I use a iPhone 4s to take all the pictures in there.

I will ship out of the US please let me know within the first post where you are if not in the US, it does affect how the trade goes some times. Thanks Also lower rank ships first, and I always want to both use and receive a tracking number so I can know when to expect things.
Re: Seeking Digital Camera Suggestions
As Oaf said, Cannon is a good choice. You can get a pretty decent one even on their lower end.
Buying or Trading, Lower Rating Ships First.
I Trade within the United States only.
I only use and accept Cash App or USPS Money Orders for payments.

Re: Seeking Digital Camera Suggestions
Remember that the battery is important. I had a digital camera that used a battery hard to find. Think it used 3V batteries, expensive and hard to find. If I put in regular batteries, it would turn on the camera and then drain the batteries.
I almost always buy Sony Cybershot cameras. The battery is normally the same (NP-BN1), so if you want to upgrade later; the battery is still compatable. I started with a 10MP, worked my way through as they upgraded size and now have a 16.1 MP camera.
I use it for concerts, family events, work photos and miniature pictures. The best thing about it is that it can easily fit into a jeans pocket, yet can still take decent photos.
They can be cheap ($99) through to more expensive (over $200) depending on the model.
My second choice is Cannon.
