Digital Camera

:salam2:

I wanna buy a digital Camera. My budget is US$200. Which one will be best. I’m looking:

Touch screen
Video recording
High pix for still photos.

Plz advice. :hat:

Re: Digital Camera

Honestly don't think there are touch screen cameras for that much. Atleast I don't know of any good cameras with touch screen for $200. Maybe someone else has better knowledge. I will look around though.

Re: Digital Camera

Samsung ST700 16.1 MP Digital Camera (Black)

Samsung, 16.1 MP, has touch screen LCD $129
Don’t know how good it is though, but I believe cameras of that price range pretty much deliver same quality.

Re: Digital Camera

Why do you need touch screen waleed?

Re: Digital Camera

Touch screen is not worth it. I will tell you, just get Canon Ixus 220HS. I am using it and it is the best ever. Amazing resolution, Full HD 1080p video recording and more. Totally worth the price. Got it for 800 AED, which is exactly $200.

Re: Digital Camera

Can u post a link please. I need one too.

Re: Digital Camera

Oh wow so there are touch screen cameras under $200. I guess I was looking at sony and canon cameras.

Re: Digital Camera

There was a Sony also, but lower in rez.

But like Dubaiwali said, touchscreen may not be a necessary feature. However it depends on everyone's personal choice.

Here’s me holding it. Just took this photo now.

Re: Digital Camera

Pretty cool Dubaiwali. Thanks.

Re: Digital Camera

The specs of both the cameras look great. I would go for a canon camera anyday.

Re: Digital Camera

As for touch screen, it seriously doesn't make that much of a difference. At the end of the day, primary function of the camera is to 'take' photos.

Re: Digital Camera

Yeah I need one for my upcoming trip to the home country. I could use my S3 camera but I have to be careful, someone might wanna steal my baby child :snooty:.

Re: Digital Camera

Trust me, I've used Samsung, Panasonic, Nikon, Sony and Canon point and shoots. Canon is best amongst all of them.

Re: Digital Camera

Careful with your phone in the home country. I don’t know about India but phone thieves are common in Pakistan. :frowning:

Re: Digital Camera

Here’s a photograph I took with the Canon Ixus 220HS and there hasn’t been any editing done to it.

Re: Digital Camera

Yeah. I think I'll use my sister's S2 with a local SIM as she's upgrading to an S3 also, and keep mine safe in the suitcase. Very scary thought.

Re: Digital Camera

You’re amazing Aisha!

Re: Digital Camera

Thanks. :)

Re: Digital Camera

Whenever I see u, I think of this song:

*Gal mitthi mitthi bol, Bajne de taashe dhol..**Gal mitthi mitthi bol, ras kaano vich ghol
Bajne de taashe dhol, masti mein tu vi dol
Mann de naina tu khol
Chahat ke moti rol
Dil hunda ae anmol, ke daulat se na tol
Aa sohni tenu chaand ki main choodi pehrawa
Mainu kar de ishaara te main doli lai aanwa
Gal mitthi mitthi bol, ras kaano vich gol
Bajne de taashe dhol, masti mein tu vi dol

*(not that I wanna marry u or something :smack:… just clarifying :D)
