any suggestions? I need an affordable camera to use for simple shots of my family. I have only ever owned one digital camer and it s now getting pretty old. I would appreciate any help

what specs does yoru old camera have??? also how much are you willing to pay?

Simple pics of family doesnt require much from a camera. Can get very cheap cameras that are pocketable, have built in flash, red eye reduction and just stick with automatic mode. A 4 megapixel camera is more than enough unless you are enlarging hugely. Just about any major brand cheap digicam will do you fine. If you want to be creative, have off camera flash, and so on then thats different.

How about Fujifilm FinePix V10 even m planning to buy one ……so was searching for some customer reviews…it’s a well designed digital camera with high quality Super CCD HR image sensor combine with the Real Photo Technology Fujifilm offers quiet a powerful combination. ……I just hope you liked my suggestion and m posting some reviews …..go thru them and plz let me know as to what u have finally decided………

For your stated use I think the Casio EXILIM EX-Z55 is well worth a look.

It's an reasonably priced high quality camers with good picture quality and easy to use.


It is a 5 Mp camera and has a large 2.5 inch LCD, which I think would be very suitable for your use.

I have downloaded images from this camera and they better than some more expensive, higher megapixel cameras.

It rates very well in the reviews I have read.

PhotographyBLOG Review Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z55

The V10 takes poorer pix than the F10/F11, which is what you get for its smaller size. Compact cameras are all about compromise. Decide what you need. My new article Secrets of Digital Cameras was written with people like you in mind. I hope it helps.
