With so many digital cameras out there, I don’t know what to pick. How can I get a good unbiased rating of different cameras without paying for a subscription? I want to pay about $200 and I want as many megapixils as I can get plus a good zoom, some macro capacity as well as some wide angle and not too too heavy and that won’t break down too easily, A good buy for my money. A lot to ask?

While most of the cameras out there are really good, I would choose Canon over Nikon because it seems like more camera for the money. Some would say Canon withholds their best technology for high end cameras and Nikon implements their best at all levels. Before you decide, read all the text and links in the information below because it will help you know what to look for in a camera.
There is no one particular place to get great buys, but you may see something below that really helps you find the best buy. Click on the first link in the information below for an example then search for your camera of choice at the upper left. Camera prices at this link change often.
Just saw this camera at Best Buy and think it is a great camera and a best buy. It has an optical viewfinder, image stabilizer, auto focus, and uses NiMH rechargeable batteries. Read as much of the following as you can for other information and help with choosing a camera.

There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say which is best, but digital is definitely the way to go. The second source link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices. The following information should help you know what to look for in a camera.
What gives a camera its picture quality?
The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures.
In new cameras, look for optical viewfinders (LCD invisible in bright sun) and check battery prices. High mega pixel settings take longer to process and may not be needed unless required for very large pictures or enlarging small parts of big pictures. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel setting is 8 x 10 inches. Click links below for more details. http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.j… …http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.h… …
Lots of great camera tips in these two links. http://www.danscamera.com/Learning/going… …http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.j… …
Check this more for the money camera. FUJIFILM – FinePix 10.0-Megapixel Digital.
Life time Warranty (Parts & Labor).
Wide-angle shooting, a 12x optical zoom and picture stabilization mode combine in this camera for exceptional shooting performance, even at a distance. Plentiful scene modes, autofocus and automatic white balance controls make this camera a snap to operate. You may be able to find it on the Internet for a lower price.http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?… …http://www.digitalcamerareview.com/defau… …
This could be the best slim line camera with a viewfinder. It’s PINK!http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Sony%20Cyber… …http://www.digitalcamerareview.com/defau… …
The information about my camera is just to show that you don’t need the biggest and best. Just know how to use the one you have.
My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7 x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes … like magic.
Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Ask what cameras they own, but don’t believe everything you hear. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner’s manual. Just learned that my camera has red-eye prevention and correction. It also has adaptive lighting. You may be able to view owners manuals at this link, but will need to Login. http://www.retrevo.com/s/digital+camera …

You can compare the cameras there.
For good reviews, google the camera, and add review, so you can see a few different reviews. If you are asking for a good camera in that price range, a good one is the Canon powershot SD1100. Its not two hundred dollars, it’s less. This is a great camera. http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-SD…
I used one, and it is a good camera, the images are nice.

well all depends on the country, well here you go:
1. site: go for techtree.com, the best in the business, i found mine that ways.
2. all the megs is not what u shud be looking for, macro yes, wide very yes, another thing is that you should look at the ‘manual flexibility’ – that is does it allow you to use some of your own creativity or is just a machine with no ‘permissions’ beyond its pre-programmed menu.
3. Suggestion – go for co branded stuff, eg, if you were to go for a ‘Leica’ – one of the best lens makers maybe you get nothing in a constricted budget, but if you go for a ‘panasonic’ they have a series ‘lumix’ with a leica lens – a very good deal, nothing fancy but brilliant results and flexibility – you could try a fx35, has been around for some time so you might get a good deal. At lower price segments you could even look at a Kodak, have decent lenses (you cant compare with a leica) but offer some cool features like a bluetooth connectivity for image transfers.
