Bought a new digital camera after 4 long years

In 2008 I bough my first digital camera. It was Olympus made 8 MP with 5x Zoom. I personally feel 8 MP is lot more tan enough. Only thing that makes a difference is the optical zoom. In the recent past this camera has been giving some problem hence I am planning to buy a new one. May be by the end of this year i will buy a new camera for myself.

Wow, I had no idea camera phones had 8MP! My own is only a 2MP, I believe. The picture quality isn't too great, but I still love the convenience it gives me, especially if I don't have my digital camera with me. My digital camera is only a 7.1, but still, it takes some beautiful pictures. I don't bother to print them up from home though. I use an image hosting service for any pictures I want printed up. Have fun with your new camera! Happy mylotting!

hi jureathome. care to share the specifics of the digital camera that you recently bought? been eyeing to get a digital camera as well but so far just contented looking at brochures and product reviews. what do i have to look for when buying a digital camera? do i have to check the memory or up to how pixels it has? plus what is a good brand? hope you get a chance to reply to my queries. appreciate it a lot. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

Having a new baby is a good reason to buy a new camera. I have a digital camera that is over 10 years old, but still helps me out at my grandchildren´s birthdays and on other occations. Of course, my youngest grandaughter has more pictures taken than the rest of the children.

good for you that you already bought a new camera. Our digicam is going 5 years old already. We purchased that before we get married. Now there is a small streak on the monitor. We are already plannign to buy a new one. I already saw a good model and we are planning to get that after we already fully paid the netbook which will end early next year (thru credit card installment). I know that the price will be much lower compared to its price now.

Wow! It's really good to have your own camera when traveling. There can be nothing as precious as our memories. So we have to save them even in pictures. I was able to buy a second hand camera at a very low price. I am not very fond of taking pictures, but when we have to have our vacation last year, I was forced to buy. As of now, my daughter is asking me to buy a DSLR camera. She is fond of taking pictures. i hope I can buy that kind of camera in the future.

That's awesome! My wife and I waited forever to purchase one; we just got it back in June. We got tired of having to use our cell phones for pictures, too; it was just too difficult to take pics. This new camera that we just got has a screen facing the front of the camera where you can take self-portraits, making it easier for us to take pictures with one another. One of our biggest problems was not having enough pictures of the two of us and this camera solves some of that for us. Also, our phones were doing okay but we wanted better quality pictures. Our phones do not have flash or many other features that would help with the quality besides the megapixels. A couple of months in and it has definitely been a great investment!

Digital cameras now are tagged as "the basic traveller's right". Yeah well, I just coined some words, but you get the picture. I also had mine recently so I know the feeling and the excitement to have a chance to use it.
