Consumer Cameras

Consumer-level cameras are the entry-level cameras that will fulfill the needs of most users. They don't have the features of the more expensive cameras, but for typical point-and-shoot capabilities, they are quite good.

You should not consider getting anything less than a 3 mega-pixel camera, and most 3MP cameras are very reasonable in price.

Prices range from $50 for cameras like the Vivitar Vivicam 3715 3MP Digital Camera, but you might want to consider the Kodak EasyShare CX7330 3.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom instead, for around $149.
