Need opinions on a digital camera.
Starting with this one. Please take note that I plan not to spend over 130.00 for one. So I will start with this one. Seems nice for the price, and I am not looking to take hardcore crystal clear pictures, just some decent clear looking pics.

From my experience I have had nothing but trouble with Fuji. We had that camera, well the last years model of it.. 2 of them actually. The first one would not extend the lens all of the way out when powering on. We exchanged it for a new one and it began to do the same thing after a few months. Fuji did end up replacing it with a brand new one, actually this current model, under the warranty, but it was a hassle. By that time, we had already boughten a new one, Kodak with 7 mega pixels and 10x optical zoom.
I'm sure the problem we had was a fluke, but 2 with the same problem....
BUT, when it did work, it did take pretty decent pics. Low lighting was a bit of a problem, but you'll have that with any camera.

HP and kodak have dropped the ball bigtime for digital photography, I have not been happy with either companies products.

IMO, if you want quality pics, I would stay with Canon or Sony (preferably the former). Megapixels aren't the only thing to consider, IMO lens quality is far more important. Oh, Nikon is good too...

Question is, what do you want to use the camera for? General picture taking? Or are you INTO photography. If you need one for general use, then the one at Walmart is good.
If you are a photographer, plan on spending about $800 on the camera itself. REAL SLR DIGITAL CAMERAS.
I need to get one.
