Ok. I'm moving out and in the market for a new digital camera.

I know that the best ones out there are Canon, Fujitsu, Sony, and HP and Kodak aren't bad.

Now, I'm looking for a good, high mega-pixel camera, with long battery life, for as cheap as possible (as I am a student).

Long battery life is a must, as my Mom bought an HP camera that had battery life die within 15-20 minutes of keeping the screen on. Just terrible.

I would love a 4-5 Megapixel camera but 2-3 is good for what I would use for now. Digital SLR is not needed, just general camera usage.

I would love any recommendations on different camera's, prices in Canadian funds, and your personal experiences with the units.

Thanks for any of your help.

Price range would be as cheap as possible for a decent camera. A few hundred dollars most likely. Nothing too high.

NFCwave - I got my first camera from camera-warehouse.ca. It is a canon A80 and cost me $500 bux. It takes great pictures and has enough features and ability to control that you can go from automatic point and shoot to things like adjusting aperature, focus, shutter speed, iso speed, etc. It is a 4 megapixel which allows me to do up to great 8x10 prints from experience. It has a swing out, rotating LCD for taking pictures at wierd angles - the LCD is slightly on the small side compared to other cameras, however.

Its downsides are that it takes 4 AA batteries, which does make the camera more heavy and costly to buy batteries for. I bought 2 sets of 4 nimh batteries and charger unit. On the other hand, with that much battery power I am able to take 150-200 pictures and mess around in the menus on 1 charge. It also uses the slightly outdated Compact Flash media to store pictures. But since I already had a 256M CF card at time of purchase, and CF cards tend right now to be cheaper than any other format (SD or MM or XD cards) I liked that. Plus, with the new SanDisk Ultra II cards, it's plenty speedy.

All in all, it's been an awesome camera. As a newb taking pictures with the auto settings, I've enjoyed the great pictures quality, and ease of use. When it's time to upgrade, their are 2 extra lenses available for better telephoto (macro, close in shots) and bigger wide angle shots.

when I say 150-200 pictures on one charge, I mean I can take 150-200 pictures with the 4 fully charged batteries in the camera.

Woah sorry for the late reply, forgot about this thread :D

Anyways, the blurryness on my pics of rio was due to me not wiping the lens before taking the pics , and we have great waves, will try aind go out to take some pics of that in the near future :).

BTW, that thing with rio, s?o paulo, and mexico city being the most polluted cities in the world, false.

Thres a small town between rio and s?o paulo that is definetely alot worst than rio so those statistics are incorrect.

Great pics everyone.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.178 changelog: Fixed certain extensions not working as expected. (#56271) Fixed inability to use Brave Sync in certain cases. (#55203) Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.196.
