How to buy a digital camera
It made me
satisfied
 "Glad I finally did it."
How I did it: This was not something that I wanted to put a ton research time into so I ended up looking at cameras online in the $200 and under price range. I'm not big into photography at this point and wanted a small, easy to use digital camera that I could use to take pictures of my family, scenery, and some experimental subjects. I looked for a camera that had the ability to take good quality pictures and that also had some added features that I could "grow into" as I became more experienced. I relied heavily on the comments of other purchasers to guide me to a camera that I thought I would like. I ended up getting a Canon PowerShot SD1100IS 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom. We'll see how it goes. Lessons & tips: Since I'm new at this, I don't think I am the best person to offer advice on this. Resources: camera websites |

Happy!!!
How I did it: I got up early to eat breakfast so I would have the time to eat it instead of buying it while rushing to school, and made sure to pack my own lunches instead of purchasing it.

As my brothers are wanting a camera too and my father will give it to them, I won’t have to buy my own one right now. I can save the money to do something else and make a semi-professional next year, when I’ll be good in use this simpler one. Right now, I can use their camera to get the habit of taking picture more often. They were ok with it and even asked me help to choose the right model and there it is. Finally a camera I can use everywhere I want. We just ordered it and we will get it in some days. It will be great to have it with me in my travel in the end of september.

Would be nice

It seems like a necessity nowadays. I’m not really into taking pictures, but it would definitely be great for sharing stuff online. I was going to get one last year, but decided instead to buy some more PC hardware.

I’m going to be baby-sitting this summer so maybe with some of the money I get, I can finally buy a digital camera! Would be cool because I used to love taking pictures, and it would be fun to take pictures that aren’t just from my webcam.

I love to take pictures! I just love to capture the moments, so I can always remember them. At first I just wanted a normal digital camera, but now I’m thinking of getting a more professional camera, like a Nikon d40. Its like $500+, but I’m a pretty good saver when I want something, so I get it :]
