which is the best digital camera for a beginner?

I am looking at buying a digital camera and I would appreciate any advice on ease of use, number of pixels, best make and model.

I have a Kodak Easyshare. It is quite basic but I am very pleased with it. It's easy to use and the picture quality is excellent. The best always is the simplest. Look for a good one with the minimum of buttons or controls, and when you masterized this simple model, you can upgrade to a better one. Don't worry about the pixels, because the normal amount of them in this days are sure enough for you (at the beginning). just get something that is a good value. you probably want at least 4 mega pixels. but above and beyond that, value is the next component for a beginner.

see what you like after you get a basic camera and do research, then you can always get a more expensive one later. kodak easy share is very easy to operate you almost don't have to read the instructions the dials on the camera tell you what to do the cost is about $298.00 , 5.0mp, 3xzoom www.kodak.com/go/easyshare There are many different brands that would suit you just fine. ALL of them will have at least one fully automatic mode, which is usually a little green icon on the mode wheel. Just set it on that automatic mode and shoot away.

If you are not hugely computer savvy, a Kodak Easy Share is probably the easiest model line to get prints from the camera to a matching printer.

4 MP is fine for this type of printing and even some moderate enlargements. 5 MP is better. whats your budget There are many point and shoot cameras. Anything between $150 to $350 are beginner cameras because the non-beginner cameras are DSLR in my opinion. You want one that has room to grow so I suggest one that can do both automatic and some manual functions, such as aperture and shutter priority, exposure lock, etc. If you get one that doesn't have those functions, you will grow out of it very soon and will be looking for replacement. Canon, Sony, Casio are all good brands. Look in CNET to narrow down to a short list. Go to the store and hold them in your hand because feeling comfortablen in your hand is also important. http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/...

That's probably the camera you will be most happy with. Kodak Easyshare, its easy to use and not expensive. a fuji a400 I would recommend any of the Canon Ixus digital models. They are great cameras, really simple to operate, very small and great design - you can't go wrong! sony A Fuji E 500 quite good value for money
