Looking for the Best Digital Camera Under 200 Dollars

By William Odom


If you are decided to get your hand on the best digital camera under 200, you will first need to determine what features you are looking for. This will save you time and energy before you even get out of your house. The thing is, a large number of the best digital camera under 200 possess very comparable features.

All those features can complicate your decision making process. Cameras do not have the same resolutions. Some are bigger and come either in a very board or very limited selection of colors. Other models have video recording capabilities.

If you travel a lot, the Fujifilm Finepix XP30 could be a good choice. It goes up to 16.4 feet deep under water. It can record video under water as well. For those living in Nordic countries, the Finepix can work in temperatures as low as 14 Fahrenheit. It could also be a good fit if you tend to be tough on your equipment. It can fall up to 4.9 feet without getting a scratch.

The Finepix XP30 has a 2.7" LCD screen on which you can display your pictures. It delivers 14-megapixel images and is equipped with a 5x optical zoom lens. You can get it in blue, black, green, orange and silver. The Finepix XP30 is basically an improved version of the Finepix X190.

The Olympus SP-610UZ has two interesting things about it. For a smaller, cheaper camera, it has a lot of zoom. A 22x (28-616 mm) optical zoom lens is two to five times the zoom on most other digital cameras under 200. The other neat feature is that you can create 3D images with this camera. Take a picture of the same scene from two slightly different angles. Once created, the two files can be combined into an .MPO file which becomes a 3D picture.

The Olympus also has a 720p HD video capability, along with a 14MP resolution and a 3 inch LCD screen. It's an upgrade to the Olympus SP-600UZ. However, if you are looking for colorful camera options, this is not the camera for you. It is only available in silver or black.

The Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS is very thin at 0.70 inch. It offers optical image stabilization and a very good resolution at 14.1 mega pixels. The Canon is equipped with a 4x optical zoom lens and a 2.7 inch LCD screen. You can get it in silver, black, orange or pink.

In the end, you need to determine what your needs really are. These three cameras have some of the coolest features in their category, but you may find other interesting models if you look around. Ultimately, the best digital camera under 200 is the one that meets your needs.
