Camera Advice

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!!!

No suggestions on camera because mine right now, and my favorite is a Nikon D60 which is larger than the one you have. However, having had a camera (HP) that took AA batteries, knowing people with small Canon's with rechargable batteries, and having a Kodak Easy Share with rechargable batteries, my experience has been that the Nikon and Kodak batteries last a very long time between charges. The HP with the AA's ate batteries. It was very frustrating. You can also buy an extra battery for Kodak cameras and keep an extra charged one in the zipper part of your purse.

Just some thoughts from my experiences. Good luck finding the PERFECT camera!!!
