what is the best digital camera now in your opinion for under $400?
 

Best digital camera now for under $400? need your opinions guys.

Fuji Finepix E550 because it is an E class. J/K but I bought mine last year and the ease of use is great and it also has all the feature of more expensive cameras. Shoots 6M and 12 in raw mode. Also has the ability to add lenses, not a normal feature on most compact cameras. I paid 237 after $50 mail in rebate. Try pricegrabber.com to do price comparisons. Enjoy

Nobody really needs the megapixels they are packing in now.
I printed massive 12 X 17 prints from my 1 megapixel
and there was no grain visible.

The thing to focus on is the lens.
Get a glass lens, if you can.
An optical zoom is nice.
Digital zoom is nothing more than you can do yourself, in photoshop.

I bought a $1200 Sony years ago... ( for about $1000 )
Finally killed it and now I just use a $99 Radio Shack special and it's fine.
