Digital Point and Shoot Cameras

If you are a novice at photography and looking for something small (pocket-sized), easy to use and takes excellent photos, I have been very impressed with my Canon Powershot digital cameras as well as my daughter's Kodak digital. Being one with professional photography experience, these little digitals take photos that are generally very well exposed and focused. For those serious photographers, they are especially handy for taking those "fun" pictures that might not warrant digging out the bigger, professional-spec Nikon.

They can also take video, which in a pinch (if your video camera is not available) are easy to take and fun. Keep in mind that when you use this video feature, you will use memory quickly so use it sparingly or load your camera with the largest memory card you can afford (minimum 2 GB). This is an example of what I described above:

I currently own the Canon Powershot SD1200is, as pictured above. I was very happy with my previous Canon but ruined it while kayaking.

While trying to dig it out of a plastic ziploc bag, I accidently dropped it into a puddle of salt water on the bottom of the boat. LESSON: consider purchasing a waterproof digital camera for your adventure photography.

If you are in a rush and looking for a camera and a good group of accessories, a Point & Shoot Digital Camera KIT can serve you well. They have cameras with even more resolution than the camera above, with any or all of the following in the kit: a larger memory card and useful extras like an extra battery, battery charger, small mini-tripod, camera case, and high speed card reader:
