Booohooohoooooo.....

I am sad!! M digital Camera Just broke!!:( I am without a Camera for a while!! I just want to cry! Thankfully it is still covered under the warranty, but after the Warranty is done, i will be buying a new Camera!! Hopefully a Nikon, Cause no Offence to anyone, but KODAK sucks!! I will never buy another one!!! I have Had this Camera less than one year, and this will be the Second time It will have to go in for repairs!! Rediculous!!

So over the next few months I will be researching Cameras, like I said I am really inerested in a Nikon, but will look at all brands(except Kodak).
I want a realy nice camera. It must have at least 5.0 mega Pixels, good Zoom, Video with sound, and Macro. Size of the Camera dosent matter, I seem to like the larger ones better. anyone got any good Ideas????:)

No ideas on camers, but I feel your pain. My Kodak is falling apart. It started some stupid crap with unidentifiable file format and now my macro isn't working -sigh- I hope you get something good, I know I'll never get another Kodak either.

Oh dear! :(

I will try and find out what cam I am getitng for my birthday coz I choose it about 1 hour ago but I cant remember waht its called :rolleyes:

Do you have a price range?

well this last one cost me over 400$ so around the same price, maybe a little more.:)

Oh, I totally forgot to mention this.. If you want a nice camera but don't want to pay a fortune for it, I suggest this one. I've been researching on it for a while and it takes some wonderful pictures. It's really similar to the Canon Powershot S3 except $100 cheaper.

Fuji Finepix S700 BK

I just bought a Sanyo VPC-5500, it's 5.0 megapixel and has 3x Optical zoom and it takes brilliant pictures so far!:)

If you don't mind going $150 or so more I would snatch up a DSLR...the Nikon D40 is a nice deal and a great camera. And sometimes you can get it on sale for a bit more than $500 normally it is around $580

I know the feeling, I hate kodiak! I have had to take mine in 4 times, in the 2 years I have had it! I have to wait one more year though. I have to go meet my future dog tormorrow and I have to take a camera that doesn't work very well.

I'm sorry to hear this.:( I'm a big fan of Canon's myself and I curently have the Canon Powershot S3IS. Good luck with your research.:)

I have the Canon S2 IS that I adore -
but sometimes I want to take my camera in my pocket if I'm going out or something -
I picked this up today @ bestbuy for $249.00
it is TINY but the viewer is 3 inches.

I, too, hated Kodak and said I'd never own one. BUT...

If you step up a level in price, you get what you pay for. My Uncle paid somewhere around $300 for my 12x optical zoom, 6.1MP camera and I LOVE it. It can go from fully automatic to fully manual. I can't think of a time I've brought it out and been disappointed with the shots it produced.

I have the Fuji FinePix S5200 and I absolutely LOVE it! It was on sale for $299, which was a steal. It takes great macros, and has many features. It is also a really beautiful camera. Here is the full review. :D
