    Yeah the two brands I actually DO NOT recommend for digital cameras are Kodak and HP cameras.

    Really for the price/quality ratio, your best bet is to get a Canon PowerShot.

    Hehe, well, I'm not sure if this was mentioned before....but you claim you cannot take close-up pictures because they turn out blurry. Do you have the Macro setting turned on? It looks like a little flower. Without the MACRO setting, you usually won't get a good close up

    Edited to add: When it comes to cameras, I'm a diehard Canon fan, although Sony Cybershots take REALLY nice pictures! I'm not a fan of Sony, however, so I have not bought any of their cameras. But I do play with other's Sony Cybershot cameras and the pictures turn out amazingly well.

    I seen this camera when I was shopping for a small one to keep in my purse. I'd suggest saving your money for a better camera or looking for last years model of one you like that's more expensive.
    I got a really good price on my Cannon PowerShot SD110 Elph. It was regularly $250 but since it was last years model I got it for $129! It pays to shop around

    I am not a canon fan. I'd reccomend a Nikon. I used to have a Nikon Coolpix before I upgraded, it was a good little camera and I think that would be the kind of think you're looking for.

    I never had an HP or a Kodak camera, but I think that if you already have a decent camera, maybe you should wait until you're able to buy a better one.

    I have a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P93. It has 5.1 megapixels, and 3x of optical zoom. We bought it last year, andI'm really happy with it.....

    I'm pretty sure my Kodak doesn't have a Macro setting, that was one of the reasons I was drawn to the HP, it is roughly the same price as my Kodak but has a few extra features like movie w/ sound and macro setting.

    I think I will wait to get a better camera, I was just hoping to get a little better one for Christmas and use it until I'm out of college or something and look for something higher quality.

    My canon has an EXCELLENT Macro setting. It's amazing really. You can take a look at some of my photography taken with my Canon here: http://dontstay.zoto.com/user/lightb...date-desc/0-30

    I LOVE the color I get with mine. It's beautiful

    OMG, Jessika, I love your pics!!!

    I think my next camera will be a Canon, everybody says they are the best cameras, and i believe it: about 15 years ago, my dad bought a Canon camcorder, and it was so good!!! We have all the videos we recorded with it, and they are all fantastic....

    Jessika,Those are some really nice pictures!! What kind of camera do you have?? How much did it cost and how long have you had it?

    I really want a good quality camera and I've decided not to get the HP and do some shopping around instead but I'm lost at where to begin, there are soo many different cameras out there!!
