I'm beginning to think that I need a new camera. Mine is beginning to act all wacky and I'm not sure if a cleaning and "tune-up" can be done on it. That was the first camera I bought that was digital. It's about 7 years old and I've been loving it since I bought it because of the zoom, shutter speed, and the quality that I've been getting out of it, but I think it is beginning to go south on me.
I've got a crappy little point-and-shoot, but I'm thinking that has to go soon too because the lens doesn't stay out and the shutter isn't opening all the way anymore. Any suggestions on a nice little point-and-shoot that isn't too expensive?
I'm looking around but cameras have changed so much in the past few years and I haven't been keeping up with everything, so I'm really lost. I still love my film cameras (I've got a few) and I'm not giving that up because if you can take great shots with a film camera, sigh, lovely.
I'm looking for a camera with a fast shutter speed, great quality of photos (high megapixel), preferably a DSLR, long lasting, and isn't going to break my bank.
Any suggestions?

Hey! So I have a Nikon D40, which is the most basic Nikon DSLR but I love it! It was the cheapest one and I only really wanted to take shots on Auto and I think it does pretty good. We got it at Inkleys in Orem and we paid about $600 or so. I would totally recommend it!
I love Canon brand the best. I have a great point-and-shoot camera called a Canon PowerShot SD1000. They have some newer editions of the camera too (SD1100IS). As for price, it varies, but they're normally about $250.
Hmmm...I got my little point and shoot digital at the beginning of my mission, and it cost about $200. It's a Cannon, and it works very well, hasn't given me any grief. Good luck finding a camera!
I have a Canon Rebel xti. (Not to be confused with the new xsi.) I really like it. We got a standard 35-70 mm lens that covers pretty much everything we need. But when I want some great close up photos with a blurred background, I pull out the 50mm lens. It was $100 and it's the lens I use the absolute most. Best bang for the buck - I love it!
We got ours camera body and basic lens at Costco. It was a pretty good deal compared to prices elsewhere, although I don't remember anymore how much it cost.
I hope you get yourself a great camera!
Thanks everyone! It'll probably be a couple of months before I buckle down and get one, but these suggestions are great!
