Cameras/digital camera purchase

Question
Hi John, thanks for replying. I guess I was going by those black Friday ads, where everyone seemed to have a digital camera for $70 or $80. Also, I'm just looking for something to take decent pictures. This is not a hobby at any stretch. Just something to take family gatherings & special occasion pics, & easy to use. I understand that batteries are a concern, but I know nothing about the memory card. Could you explain a little about that? Also, you state that Nikon is a good brand? What about Kodak, Polaroid, etc? What's good & not good?
Greg,
Personally I don't like to say that one brand is better overall than another. However, I feel there are a "big five" when it comes to cameras. Nikon, Canon, Sony, Pentax and Olympus. As far as cards for point and shoots go, there are 3 types. SD, XD and memory stick. It really doesn't matter what kind a camera takes.

Expertise
I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.
