I have to praise digital cameras. I'm now on
my second one (first one got to be not fancy enough). Both cameras have
been Olympus, the latest is a D-450 which cost around $400 back in 1999.
What I looked for in a digital camera was: zoom capabilities, ability to take
good to excellent macro shots of flowers, and memory cards so I would be less
likely to "run out of film" between downloads to my computer. My
sister-in-law bought a more expensive Sony digital - I think it was around $600
- because her prime requirement was tiny size. My personal opinion is the
Olympus is easier to use, it takes sharper photos and has a larger zoom.
I'll bet you can find many digital cameras on Ebay, with the older models like
mine reasonably priced. I was keeping track of battery life, and over the
past 8 months, I've taken over 700 photos with more than half of them being
landscape oriented. The camera has paid for itself since I don't have film
processing charges!
