I need a digital camera for taking pictures of active toddlers without breaking the budget.

I have three kids under 5 so I need a digital camera with a fast response, not extremely expensive, but I don't want it to be outdated or have to replace it in the next few years. If I wait long enough, will the SLRs be more affordable?

Melissa,

You can actually find a good used or refurbished dSLR camera all over the web. Given, they don't come with a warranty, but the price is a lot better. If you're interested in the Canon XTi, you might try looking for it or the Rebel XT/350D on eBay. I have seen kits with lenses and accessories for under $1000.

Hi Melissa,

Not sure if it's too late, but I would recommend one of the small Canon ELPH camera. They are very small and take amazing pictures. My brother has one of the old 2MB cameras and it works great. I'm sure the new updated ones work even better.

Hi,
We just borrowed a family's digital camera--Nikon Coolpix S10. I like how it flips open and the large viewing screen, but there is still that lag time between flashes which makes the lag time bw pics about 7 sec. The fast mode works well, but its not like you can keep the camera on a perpetual fast mode just to get a few shots. I do love how it autoadjusts for low light--makes photoshopping faster.
How does the Canon XTi or the Rebel XT/350D compare?
Thanks so much!
Melissa

I have a Rebel XT and it's recycle rate is very quick. In day light I think it's 4-5 frames per second. In a really dark place, it may take 1-2 seconds for the flash to recyle.

The problem with the Rebel is that it's a little big, where as the ELPH's are small and compact and take great pics.

I like this camera alot for the ultra portable

Hi! I would like to recommend the Kodak C533 camera. It is almost bullet proof, has an accessory charger downloader for simplicity, and for the money gives great pics. Nice thing is that you can use both automatic and manual depending on your needs. It is compact and has a decent one year warranty as well. Price for both would be under $200...
