Hi, I'm looking for the best digital camera I can buy under $400, can
anyone recommend one? In the Nov 2004 issue of Consumer Reports the
Olympus C-765 seems to be one of the best. It's advantages are 10x
optical zoom. I only need a 4 megapixel camera, any more is not
necessary. I would like one with at least 8X optical zoom.
The battery on the Olympus C-765 lasts 2 hours which is ok, but some
of the disadvantages with this camera is that it doesn't take double
AA batteries which I would like, in case your somewhere and then your
rechargable battery runs out and you'd wish you could just buy a
couple of double AA's somewhere to keep taking pictures. The other
disadvantage is no image stabilization which I would like. Can anyone
recommend at least a good 8X camera with image stabilization under
$400? Also, one that is not too big and bulky. Thanks for any help.
