Trying to Find a Great New CHEAP Camera and My Jip
12:08 AM Posted In camera. help Edit This 7 Comments »
So I am trying to find a new camera so my posts can come to you without looking really horrible. I talked to Brooke from GETCHA NAILS DID and she told me her camera of choice is a Cannon Powershot sx110is. It has 9 mega pixels and 10x optical zoom. From the research that I have been finding: this is a camera that is VERY close-up and rather pricey. I am looking for something that is close to the $100-150 range.
So I stopped by a Circuit City tonight, and I know they are almost gone, but I found an Olympus with a lithium-ion battery. It was on clearance for $119, perfect right? WRONG. I had an associate get it for me and he helped me pick out a memory card for $15. So I was soo ready to checkout and it rung up for $157. So I told the guy that it was $119 and showed him the sticker. He was ready to tell me it was wrong and then he was like yeah, that is right. So he stared at it for like 2 minutes. Then we walked back up to the register and he told me he wanted to mark it down for me, but he could change the price. So I repeated, "You can't change the price?" And he told me yes. So I asked to speak to a manager and he told me that the prices were locked and he couldn't change them either. I should have just told him to ring me up something the same price because it's not like it matters since they are GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
Whatever, I guess it was good that I didn't get it b/c my bf and I are saving up to buy a house.
I went onto MUA and someone told me that they just bought a Cannon powershot that was marked down from $249 to $149. Wow. I think I can afford that! So I checked online and I can't find it. I'm gonna try to check it out tomorrow.
But I did find a Kodak - EasyShare 10.3-Megapixel Digital Camera for $109.

If you ladies could check out that link about and tell me if this camera will work for np pics? It does have a close up screen mode setting. Any help would be sooo appreciated.
