Digital cameras have been great gadgets for me. I really appreciate instant review and being able to transfer the images to a computer. Previously, using film cameras it was a pain to develop the images which were expensive and at times I would end up developing images I wouldn’t even use. On top of that I do a lot of web work and in order to get the images onto my computer I would have to spend my time scanning them individually. Each scan never really turned out how I wanted it and I would always have to modify the images in Photoshop to get them right. Now my task of taking pictures is much easier as technology has evolved. I started out with a Canon A40 and it was a great camera. It was a little large and it didn’t have rechargeable batteries but it did take good pictures. I then moved on to a Nikon Coolpix 2500. I thought the Canon took better pictures, but this camera had rechargeable batteries and I got a really good deal on it. After that I was looking for a model I could carry in my pocket, one that takes great pictures, and has rechargeable batteries. I went with the Canon SD200 and I was able to pick it up online last year for about $200 which I think now can be purchased for as little as $150.
