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.

[rocky2006]

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

[rocky2006]

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

[ILuvMyCelica95]

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.

[IcemanTK]

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

"Kodak Retinar aspheric all-glass lens"

[rocky2006]

[1900WattCelica]

[right][snapback]291724[/snapback][/right]

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)...
