Hi Dennis,

The Panasonic Lumix LZ3 is a nice pick for a very cheap digital camera that still produces good quality images (and, yes, will let you date/time stamp the images). It can be had for as low as $150 from the good retailers (Amazon, etc). Hope this helps. :)

Thank you, I have a LZ-2 and an LZ-3. If you know a way that would be great. As I checked the book and called the company and they do not know how to do it....

Dennis,

Apologies, it seems I mistook the ability to print the photos with the date/time for the ability to stamp the photos with the date/time in-camera.

The LZ3 cannot do this--it can only give you the option to print the photos with the date. If you've already got a LZ3, you may be interested in knowing about ways to put a timestamp on the photos yourself.

You can:
(assuming you're working under Windows XP)

1. Get the pictures from your camera using My Computer (connect camera to computer via USB cable, open My Computer, select your camera from the list of devices, select the pics you want and drag them to the folder you want to put them in).
2. Right click on the image file and select properties. Click on the Summary tab. Click the Advanced button. The date and time the picture was taken will be listed there.
3. Use a photo editing program to add them to the picture.

There are also several programs that will do this for you (SnapTouch, for example).

As to other lower-cost cameras that will actually do this for you in-camera...

The Kodak EasyShare C743 is a very cheap and very good camera that offers the ability to stamp the date/time on your photos in-camera (really! I swear I'm right this time!) in a variety of ways. It gets pretty good ratings from users and it got DCHQ's Editor's Choice award for best beginner digital camera.

Thanks alot. I will look into the other camera as my job sometimes requires upwards of a 100 pictures. I already edit every picture for focus and brightness and this would just delay me further.

The Canon PowerShot A470 does it. But the time stamps as military time. But please note the date/time stamp will not work in digital zoom mode.

I am also quite interested in the same question as zi: time/date stamp on each digital photo image file (i. e. in-camera). However, I do not see any answer to the question posed by zi. I would also like the camera to be zoom (more than 5x optical).

Kodak and Nikon make most cameras that can do it on photo.

I am to seeking cameras that have the time AND date printed on images feature.
we have always bought Ricoh cameras as we find they are the only brand that consistently have it.
I know for a fact these models have them as we have previously owneed them.
300g, R2, R3, R4, R40, R5, R6, R7, G4, GX & RR30
Ricoh is not a commonly found brand unfortunately.
hope this helps.
