My camera just broke and besides it being old and using a xD memory card, I want to replace it.

This is a BUDGET camera so no SLRs or anything but with a decent sensor.

Id perfer a common memory type that is easy to find.

I like to take some close up shots sometimes and I find that this camera has trouble doing it and it comes out shaky.

Fast capture: When I hit that camera button, it takes the picture. No delay.

Bluetooth. While it may seem idiotic, I can take a picture, quickly transfer it to my phone (which has WiFi and/or data access), and upload it on the internet because camera phone pictures truely suck.

Again, budget. I dont want to spend much on this.

Thank you

I use a Canon ELPH 300 HS for a point and shoot.. I picked it up for $130 a year ago; it goes for about $200 now. I think the newer model is the 310 HS, however its lens is only 28mm at wide (which kind of sucks). No blue-tooth, however you can use those Wi-Fi Eye-Fi SD cards for what you want to do with photo transfers.

Doesnt work with wifi and/or much more dificult. Bluetooth, although slower, will get the job done.

To be honest I have never, ever, ever seen a camera that supports Bluetooth.

What I do is just connect my camera over USB. If your phone supports USB-on-the-go you can just access all files from your camera straight from your Android phone.

There are two phones that might interest you: the Samsung Galaxy Camera (to be released in Q4) and the Nikon Coolpix S800c. Both run Android and with the right software you can just Bluetooth your pictures through. Both are great cameras as well, but neither is cheap.

Remember you're asking a lot of features for very little money. A good camera costs a lot, it's as simple as that. The fact that you want an exotic and probably nonexistent feature like Bluetooth only makes it harder. These two above are basically cameras with a smartphone embedded.

You're not going to find a whole lot of point and shoots with bluetooth.

Well, just last month I could have sworn I walked in a store and was just surprised on how much had Bluetooth and/or Wifi

Edit: This list doesn't seem accurate... The lumix dmc-fs42 doesn't seem to have bluetooth. Doesn't look like there are many camera's with bluetooth.

    • The $80 video game - A new frontier of cost, or a bridge too far?

      By EdwardFranciscoVilla · Posted

      I would not mind paying 120 up to 150 dollars in this economy value of the dollar currency if their video game is quite breathtaking and excellent use of my hard earned work money. I think people need to appreciate all the effort workers and time that goes into excellent and worthy video games. Now if only the publishers and companies behind the video games would share the love with the developers those at the bottom of work making such games happen as in increase their money accounts and give them a more richer life that I wish would have happened . But how companies have bad reputation of being $$$ profit greedy I feel sad if there are any developers that feel unappreciated as in no real compensation for all the hours of work they put into a blockbuster hit . Have a great day everyone . Thank you developers engineers and programmers that make superb video games happen . You have my thanksgiving and I hope you really really appreciate my words . With you all about this

      True, you can pin it to the Start Menu, but my preference is to pin it to the Taskbar since I am using W11 on a desktop with a large display and a lot of space on the Taskbar.
    • Elon Musk's robotaxi will have a human driver for 'safety' reasons

      200 mph. Try going 200 mph with a vehicle on a street in any city in America. Good luck. Yes its speculation but so is the idea that it has been 100% approved by the government. When a new drug is under development it goes through a number of test phases, each of increasing efficacy and safety. I would imagine it is the same in this case. You can similuate real conditions on test roads with other cars and if successful on test roads you move it to the next test phase of testing it on real streets with human assistance if needed. Testing conditions on test roads can never account for all real life situations on real roads. This is what I imagine is happening now. The final test phase.
