TechTV did short reviews of five good digital cameras with street prices under $200. The cameras they reviewed include:
Olympus D-395 (3 megapixel),
Fujifilm A210 (3.2 megapixel),
Nikon Coolpix 2200 (2 megapixel),
Kodak EasyShare CX6330 (3.1 megapixel), and
Gateway DC-T23 (2 megapixel).
All of these cameras are great deals for the money. Some offer stronger features in certain areas than others. Beyond better resolution, things like optical zoom capability and camera startup time are important.
One more that I would have included is the
HP PhotoSmart 735. It’s a 3.2 megapixel digital camera that recently won its price category at the 2004 DIMA Digital Camera Shootout at the PMA 2004 Convention and Trade Show in Las Vegas. I haven’t seen too much coverage of this competition on blogs similar to Operation Gadget, but the approach used to evaluate each of the 50 cameras in the competition was quite rigorous.
