Popular inexpensive Digital Cameras

When it comes to buying the right digital camera for you, first consider it's use.
Not all cameras are created equal. You may want one just to capture the little ones at the park, beach and campground this summer or you may want to invest a little more money and have one you can take to the ballfield or soccer field and have pictures you will be proud of.
When it comes to buying and choosing your digital camera, ensure it is a name brand you have heard of. Kodak, Canon and my favorite, Nikon.
Why Nikon? Well because when I started taking photos, over twenty years ago, I was first given a Brownie camera from my father, this was one I believe his mother had given him and one I cherish to this day. This was a point and shoot camera of the day with a flash bulb you had to replace after each time you used it. They were glass and looked like a blueish colored lightbulb, when the camera was fired so was the flash and it was no longer useable, it basically shorted it out and caused a large amount of light, enough for the picture.
Secondly, when I showed a continued interest, especially after my father had taken a night course in photography, he used Nikon and he had let me use his and I loved it, the features at the time I thought were amazing, I didn't know what they did but there was a lot of them.
