Depends on what you want to do with them. I dont like that Vivitar at all, and for me, the Kodak isnt great either. But if your looking for something easy like a digital disposable then they're alright. I'd opt for the Kodak because it comes iwth a bigger card.

yeah i have a Kodak Easy Share, it's okay for like everyday pictures, not the greatest camera but i suck at taking pictures so i went for this one. so like Erik said it depends what you want to do with it. I've heard a lot of good things about canon, although i don't know much about cameras.

the main purpose of it is to take some decent pics of my car since i dont have any and just other things id need it for. it doesnt have to be a top of the line cam or anything, just decent. anyone who posts, please post the camera you used to take the pics of your car and the priced you paid and where you purchased it from. that will help me out since i will be using mine to take pics of my car.

I have a Canon S50, which is pretty expensive still now. It was $500 about a year ago. I love it but its not for those who arent really into digital photography.

A couple examples:





Yes I used this as an excuse to post pics

well, i guess ill use this one since i just bought it. reviews on it seemed alright, so i went ahead and bought it.

i wish i could learn how to take good pictures.... sigh

This one is amazing, i love sunsets.

I currently own a Sony Dsc-w5. I love this camera.. you should look into it

i have an olympus d560. all the pics in my profile were taken with it. it takes some amazing daytime shots sometimes. it was about 200$ 2 years ago, so it might be a lot less now.

only problem with those cameras you listed is the digital zoom is all it has, no optical. digital wreaks your picture 1X digital drop the megapixel by 1 and 2X digital cuts you megapixel right in half, so form 3.2 down to 1.6, kinda a shaft..... Just spend the extra $50 and get a decent olympus all weather camera with the 3X optical, very decent camera for liek $150

i got a kodak 6330 off ebay for $61 shipped. on the net ive seen it from like $150-$250. here are the specs:

Good deal for that price

the cam should be here by friday, maybe thurs if im lucky. ill have pics up of my car as soon as the camera is on my porch. my profile pics are scans of a disposable camera a week after i got my car. ive had my car for about 13 months now, so the pics need some updating .

very good for the price....

but...

"Kodak Retinar aspheric all-glass lens"

is that bad? haha, i only know the basics of digital cameras. what are iso speeds? "Macro Focus Range 5.1 - 27.6 in. (w) / 8.7 - 27.6 in. (t)" whats "w" and whats "t"

I love my Canon A95. Most popular camera and one of the highest rated on www.digitalcamera-hq.com. I just got it last week and I need to update my pics in my profile with the new ones using the camera

I love my Nikon 5700 and my cannon s50

its thurs and my camera came today. took some pics, but the car was not cleaned. i was just happy to take some pics.

iso speeds are the equivelent of film speeds... at least as far as i know.. "w" and "t" are for "wide" (zoomed out) and "telephoto" (zoomed in)...
