Hey guys! It's my birthday this weekend and my parents have decided to get me a new digital camera! There's so many different types out there so I can't choose!

What are some high quality cameras you guys recommend me to purchase? Please be specific with the brand and model. I'm looking for one with good mega pixels and one that generates high quality images!

I'm thinking of getting a Sony or Olympus..

I'm considering the Sony T100 at the moment

I heard it's pretty good, what do you think? Does anyone have this camera? If you do, please tell me what you think of it!





Any feedback on a particular digital camera you reccommend will be greatly appreciated!

Advice please =)

I'm confused because the first picture you put up is the Sony DSC-T200 and the second picture is the T100.

Anyway if you want good images, I'd say Canon is your best bet. Sony's just for looks.

If you want true quality pictures . Id recommend you Canon Powershot series. I have the Canon Powershot SD750 and it takes amazing pictures. Sony is mostly for looks tho. But if you dont care too much about quality pictures and rather have the looks then yeah the Sony T100 is your best bet.

The Cybershoot T100? GET IT! :)

I have the T20 (or something like that), and it's pretty awesome.
Unless you find something better, settle on that cutie. ^^

As much as I love Canon cameras, (I own a Canon SD750) I'm gonna switch over to the Fujifilm f50fd as soon as I save up enough money. It's a newer version of the f30fd and f31fd which were known as the only point-and-shoot cameras whose image quality could even come close to DSLR quality, and take great pictures even at high ISOs/low lighting.

I would suggest getting the Olympus FE-280 or the Olympus Stylus 820 Digicam. If you want to be considerate of your family spending money, I believe the FE-280 is on the day after Thanksgiving sale for $129.99 (original price $169).

Both cameras has Image Stabilization technology with Face Tracking. The FE-280 has a 8.2 MP with a 3x standard optical zoom. The Stylus 820 has a 7.1MP but has a 5x optical zoom (most cameras will only have 3x max). On top of the IS and Face tracking, these new Olympus cameras have a new processor in them (TRUEPIC III) which makes these cameras have a much shorter shutter delay that most. 2 of the new features that comes with the Olympus FE-280 and the Stylus series is the Perfect Fix & Smile shot features. Perfect Fix helps compensate for environmental lighting (EX: If the picture is taking in a dark surrounding or directly under sunlight, the camera will readjust the lens so that those pictures will not be "blacked out" or "dimmed"). Smile show is similar to Face tracking except it detects only people's smiles in which case allows the user to automatically have the camera to take the shot once it detects that every person in the picture is smiling!

Also to note, Olympus is one of the easiest cameras to use much more than the Canon cameras. This is because Olympus is the only manufacturer that has a built-in help guide which explains to you step-by-step what functionality the camera has and how to use each of those functions. Even without the built-in guide, under each Scene function, it gives you a short description of what each scene shot is used for.

Lastly, the Olympus cameras use XD cards.

Im in the same situation as you..my camera recently broke..well after 5 years what do you expect...I think I'll stick with FujiFilm brand. Have you checked out the new Sony Camera coming out very soon DSC T2, has internal memory no need for memory cards unless you take over 500 pics.

New sony camera

Sony T100 is really cool!
It has good features, & it's sleek & compact too!
