digital camera help

Published Jan 21, 2009
Views: 456

 Yesterday while throwing a snowballs at my son and my dad, I dropped my digital camera in the snow :/

 I didn't realize it had slipped off my arm until I had already walked away a bit from where I had been standing.  We finally found it after about 20 minutes of searching.  It worked for about 4 more pictures before it stopped completely.  It is  now "dead as a doornail."  I already tried drying it out but it is still dead.

 Now...I need help!  What is the best digital camera out there for the price?  I take a lot of pictures.  I've always had HP ones and I wouldn't be against another one, but I'm having troubles finding any that look good.  

I found one on bestbuy.com that I really like.  It's a Nikon .  

Anyone out there know of the BEST quality for the price camera?  I would appreciate any advice!

I just recently purchased a Nikon from Target and I'm quite impressed with it. I bought right around the Holidays for $99. If you are a point and snap person like me, then you will like it. It also has some cool features (you can crop pictures and save them).

I forgot and left my camera in my trunk during the teen temps and it did the same thing. I changed batteries and everything but it has nver worked again............hope you will be more fortunate.

what kind of nikon ? i have a nikon d50 costs me almost 1k

the new nikon coolpix the one ashton advertises is cute and nice http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8828590

Thanks auditbyus! I've always heard that Nikon was the best. The one in the link looks really good for the price. I will try not to drop my new one in the snow! If I ever decide when one to get *grin*

DONT EVER leave a digital camera out in frigid temps

Stick with HP, they are the best. I've had two, plus given ones to my fiance', sister, BIL to be, and dad. Never had a single complaint.

hp? hewelett packard ?

Butterfly: when did you get your Nikon camera?

butterfly: yep, HP=hewlett packard

Did you try a new battery already?

I'd still give it a day to let whatever condensation formed dissipate, just in case.

Otherwise, the Nikon Coolpix or Sonys are good.
