I went to Kmart, Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and Shopko looking at cameras a few hours ago.

I'm on Sears website and it looks like they have a nice selection. The battery thing you mentioned was a concern of mine. I'd prefer one that accepted regular batteries, even though it will go through them fast, I can deal with that. I have lots of batteries so I can just pop in a new set.


Going through it a bit more. I need something that fits the following.
[list]
  • Taking pictures indoors of the girls.
  • Taking pictures of the girls in their concerts, limited lighting. (no one really gets good pictures there)
    Record short videos of the girls doing silly things, or opening presents.
    AA or AAA battery operated.
    Use of SD card of some thing. Either normal SD or Micro SD.
    And around 100 bucks. I can probably push 150 if its really good.
    [/list]


    Edit, I really like the pictures IronMan took, but 229.00 is more than I can push out of my bunhole for a camera.

    You are making a mistake on the battery thing.

    A big one, imo.

    I'm not trying to be rude, but telling me it's a mistake doesn't help me avoid making said mistake. Can you explain why its a mistake and what is the best route to take?

    As I already said while you guys had a picture / k mart battle while I was posting, these digital cameras go through conventional batteries at an alarming rate.

    I wrote the generalized advise while those pics and comments went up. Scroll back. That isn't just me talking, I went to the various photography sites and researched all of these cameras and features.

    This is my second digital camera. I have several SLR's my first being an Olypmpus OM-1 which still takes some of the best photos imaginable. This new purchase being an Olypus is a coincidence. I also have a Nikon and a Canon SLR.

    My (existing until this new one came) digital camera takes AA batteries. I had gotten so weary of changing out the batteries that when I was indoors I would use the AC power and an extension cord. But you go ahead...lol I'm not being rude either, but I hope you have a lot of those batteries..You will need them. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time, btw. and recharges in two hrs. To each their own. You will be able to get "more camera" if you opt to go the conventional battery route--if you do the research. If not, you got hosed. It is one of those "trade-offs" that you should expect.

    I don't know what to go ahead with. That's why I'm asking for help and advice.

    What battery option is the best?

    My Canon PowerShot SX110IS  ran through AA batteries at a slow rate.. But still were inconvenient when they did run out.

    That is, until I started buying the Ultimate Lithium batteries . Don't let those prices scare you, I spent exactly $9.04 at Target for a 4 pack.. And they last months. Well, the 4 pack does.

    Then, when they stop running the camera, they make AWESOME back up batteries for our remotes and my laptop wireless mouse. Worth the extra 3 bucks, IMO.

    OK-- I did the unthinkable, but since it's not for ME (lol) I'm giving myself a waiver.

    I investigated Wal Mart. I ALSO investigated the GREEN BAY walmart, as what good does it do to have the online deal (which is MOST of them, btw)

    IN STORE DEAL IN STOCK at GREEN BAY STORE

    Starting 2 hours and 17 minutes ago (From Green Bay Walmart flyer)

    Package deal :

    Samsung 12.2 megapixel
    5x optical zoom
    Camera case
    2 gig card

    99.99

    Camera ALONE regularly 149.99

    Walmart  

    The package deal is on page 2 of the flyer


    The camera details:

    Samsung SL502 


    THAT is a great box store deal, and you would have it in time for the game.

    The battery is rechargeable. Sorry. (Gimme a break, I'm kiddin' ya, and this was a pain in my ass to research, lol)

    That's the one I liked the most, in my price range, but it was at WalMart and I'm not too fond of buying electronics there. I have, but just uneasy. I also get a 10% discount on items there too. I know someone who works there.


    Thank you for the research. I really liked that camera when I was playing with it earlier.

    dfosterf (9h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊
    dfosterf (9h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.
    beast (9h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏
    Mucky Tundra (13h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

    Mucky Tundra (15h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me
    Zero2Cool (15h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.
    Zero2Cool (15h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh
    Zero2Cool (17h) : That is fair by me.

    dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t
    Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
    TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
    wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
    TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
    TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
    TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
    TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
    TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
    Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
    beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
    Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
    Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
    packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
    Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
    dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
