Camera Advice

I already have a camera that I love....it's a Kodak EasyShare Z740. It does what I need it to do and takes good pictures.

Here is a picture of it.....Camera.jpg


It's just a tad too big for my purse to carry all the time. The other day I saw the most beautiful coyote and wished I had a camera with me. What I'm wanting is one of those really thin cameras that I can carry everyday in my purse. I've seen some at Wal Mart for around $100 that have 8 MP and some have 9 MP. Do any of you have something like that? Do they take good pictures? Is there one you recommend over another? I really don't want to spend very much so I know that probably limits the quality.

I have a Canon 850 but it's not very thin. It is pretty small though and fits in a purse nicely. It cost quite a bit more than the ones that you're looking at at Wal-mart but you can find Canon cameras cheaper than the one that I have. I went with Canon because of looking at the reviews about it and, I think that it was Val that recommended it once. With her being a photographer I thought that her opinion was important. Mine has more features than I understand how to use but I love it. Good luck!!

Mine is a Kodak EasyShare Z710, it is small, got it at WalMart, it was under $100.
Takes great picture. Check it out at www.kodak.com/go/z710.

As far as looks go...it looks identical to mine Donna.....there is probably a difference in the specs or something. Still wanting something a little smaller.

I have a Sony Cybershot I carry in my purse (when I remember to put it in ). My criteria is that it has to use batteries I can buy off the shelf at any convenience store. I used to have a camera with a special rechargeable battery (lithium) and it would die at the most inopportune times!!!

Thanks Gayle....I need to remember that when I'm checking them out.
