Looking for a Good Digital Camera for a 15-Year-old

A lot of people will tell you that the higher (mega) pixel count the better the pictures. I'm a pro photographer, and can tell you that's not really so. I have several cameras, and one of them is a 4 MP that will blow the doors off most 8+ MP ones out there.

www.dpreview.com has reviews for most of the latest cameras out there, but the only way to really tell if you like it is to try it. Buy one at a place with a liberal return policy (like Costco) and try it for a week or so in a variety of conditions. That way, you can always exchange it.

there is one on the best buy web site by fugi that is PINK. it is around $200 I believe.

When you go looking, check the pixel count. The higher the count the better the pictures. One way you could save money is to check places like circuit city for things called box specials. Lots of times, these cameras have been either returned or were used as displays. They carry the same warranties and the same level of quality, but they are loads cheaper.

Hi, the Canon Powershot A400 is really good. We bought it about a year and a half ago for $150.

Merry Christmas,
D.
