Hey All, I am thinking I need a new camera. it has been acting funny all morning with weird colors in the pictures I took. the fact this thing is so old it has seen better days.. So I am thinking a new camera is in the works not a real extravagant one, I am mainly looking to take pictures of my setup when needed and pictures for ebay and such price under 130.00USD!! I seen a nice one that was 16m and had a wide view. so I was wondering would something like that take real good pictures?? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830120745I am really not too versed on cameras would like to get one that takes nice crisp images

Neph,
That is similar to mine. I've used it for almost three years or so. I've the Canon ELPH SD1100 IS. Great for a pocket camera. Acceptable macro for the close ups and video though I have not tried the video as yet. Will hold hundreds of photos with a large SD card. Canon is pretty good.
Wingy Hey Wingy, I was wondering if you could snap a few random pics of like your PC or something and post them here would love to see the image quality.. I did find this really nice camera and it does telephoto plus a 16:9 AR.. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1000474-REG/canon_8410b001_powershot_sx170_is_digital.htmlI may get it if it is still on sale in 10 days..

I had a Cannon that worked fine except zoomed in shots were always out of focus. I thought it was just me not holding it steady enough but after the warranty expired I did some testing with a tripod and found it was the camera. I explained to Canon that it had been defective since brand new but of course I only got spam for my effort. I had a Nikon and after returning from my once in a lifetime trip to New Zealand found that every picture was out of focus around the edges. They replaced the camera but I had to pay the shipping and wait a month. The warranty claim required a trouble ticket which required an email address which lead immediately to prolific spam informing me how wonderful Nikon was. I can't help but wonder how they figure that adding insult to injury to their customers is a good idea.
So, I recommend thoroughly testing your new camera as soon as you get it while you can still return it to the store. I like the models with two AA batteries. You can carry spare rechargeable batteries that are cheap and use alkaline batteries in a pinch. As long as it will fit in your pocket how small does it really need to be.

I thought 85k on my 13 yr old 4Runner was low! Of course, I've used mine for daily 30+ mile commutes during those years, so I could never be THAT low without having a 2nd car. The Jedi Master

I love my CoolPix L820, my only issue is lack of Viewfinder, so I shoulda looked at that before adding to cart.
I have moon shots that will blow your Mind.
