Looking for a digital camera? If so, then you probably want to be sure that you pick out the right one. The following is an overview of several of the best cameras out there, so read on and make up your mind…
Canon PowerShot A620 Digital Camera
For less than $400 you can have this camera, which is great for both beginner and advanced photographers. This is one of Canon's best cameras in the A-series and it comes with many great features. A 7.1 megapixel camera, this is great for those who need pictures with high definition, and you are sure to be pleased with all the exposure controls available too.
Canon PowerShot A610 Digital Camera
Also under $400, although not quite as snappy as the A620, this is a camera that has a variety of advanced functions that both pros and novices alike will enjoy. This is a 5.0 megapixel camera that has a special fold out 2 inch LCD screen. With this camera you start at wide angle, but the camera can accept telephoto and wide angle lenses as well.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-p200 Digital Camera
If you like what Sony offered before, you'll find that this digital camera is even better. With 7.2 megapixiels, a great 2 inch display, and Sony's Picture Package software included, this is a great buy for only $400. The 3x zoom lens and the memory stick storage are added bonuses too, not to mention all the accessories that come along.
Olympus 720SW Digital Camera
This camera comes with a great 2.5 inch viewing screen that makes taking pictures easy. It is both water proof and shock proof and is small enough to fit in your pocket. You can even use this camera under water for great underwater shots you can't get with most cameras. Puts out great pictures and is easy for anyone to use.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 Digital Camera
Reasonably priced at less than $300, this is a great choice if you are on a budget. The camera comes with a 10x zoom lens, and now with this 7.2 megapixel camera you also get a true wide angle view as well. With a great design and three color choices, blue, silver, and black, the camera is a nice looking, portable, and very compact choice.
Canon Rebel XTi Digital Camera
If you are willing to pay a bit more, you can get Canon's SLR, the Rebel, which broke the $1000 price barrier for the first time for digital SLR's. This camera has a 2.5" screen and features manual modes and auto mode alike. There are many accessories that can be added too, so you can get all the zoom lenses, filters, and other accessories you desire.
Nikon D200 Digital Camera
For those who are truly serious about photography and aren't afraid to spend more than $1000, this Nikon is a great choice. It is a digital SLR that comes with both manual and automatic controls. It is a favorite among many, especially because of the ability to control lighting and take pictures that are amazing.
Kodak EasyShare V530 Digital Camera
This camera is one of the best compact digital cameras out there, and it's a great buy for less than $300. It comes with a 3x optical zoom and offers 5 megapixels to work with too. There is no manual mode and no viewfinder either, so you'll have to just rely on the LCD screen when you are taking shots with this camera.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30
If you are looking for a camera that almost has SLR capabilities without the high price, this camera should be at the top of your list. For less than $700 you can have this capable camera that boasts 8 megapixels, and a choice of the LCD screen or a digital viewfinder when shooting pictures. The superzoom lens is definitely an added bonus as well.
Casio Exilim EX-P505
A cross between a digital camera and a digital camcorder, the price of $490 is definitely a great buy. The still camera boasts 5 megapixels and the videos that you can take with the camera are MPEG-4 videos that are 640 by 480. There are various ISO settings available and high shutter speeds are part of deal, as well as a 2" LCD that swivels.
There are hundreds of digital cameras on the market today. Choosing the best for your own needs can be a challenge. Hopefully, the guide above will get you started in finding the right one for you.

Winter Wonderland Video - Stryper
I'm tired of writing about politics. It is the Christmas season even if it doesn't feel like it.
Stryper is an 80s Christian rock band. They were similar in their style to the "glam" rock bands or hair bands like Poison, Def Leppard, and sometimes even Van Halen.
Their music was very different in that all of their themes were Christian. It's one of the reasons I love them. Of course, the other reason I love them is that they just plain rock!
Have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy!

I Love Gays
I love gays
Pat Boone really hit the nail on the head with this one. You don't have to agree with someone to love him/her.
I also agree that all of this violence in the name of getting your way is absurd. Everyone has the right to disagree.
If agreeing with everything another person says was part of the processing of loving someone, I guess that means I don't love my daughters because I don't always agree with them.
The definition of tolerance has nothing to do with agreeing with another person. It's all about respect. I respect the rights of others to be who they are. I respect the right of others to choose or not choose Jesus Christ.
The Bible is clear that each of us is responsible for answering for our own sins. We need to remember that when we're counseling others on the right thing to do. If others reject what we say, ultimately they are simply rejecting the message we are offering. They are responsible for their own lives.
When asked what the most important commandment was, Jesus said that it was to love God and love others as ourselves. Ultimately, that's really all that we can do.
If you object to homosexuality, you're called a homophobe even if that's not true. Homophobia, like anything else, is a fear of something. It's not something anyone should fear, and I know that I certainly don't. That would be silly.
Besides, whenever this topic, or any other topic that comes up that is something that might put us in bondage, like taxes, or socialism, or a lot of other things, it reminds me that Christ didn't come here to put us in bondage; Christ came here to set us free. He will set us free if we allow it.
One of the most important things He sets us free from is hate. I hate no one. I really don't see the point. It doesn't mean I don't disagree with others. I believe in the rule of law, and the people of California set the rule. Declaring war on those who voted for Prop 8 in California is not the way to get the law changed or to change anything.
I'm not quite as enthusiastic about Christmas as I used to be. The longer I am a Christian, the more I want every day to be a day to celebrate Christ. It's not His birthday that's important anyway. It's His sacrifice on the cross. He gave His life for us. He came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
Love God. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Makes life a whole lot easier.
Don't be afraid to stand up for what's right. Not everything is an opinion, and Bible teaching certainly isn't.
Oh, if you stand up for what the Bible says, and you tell the truth, you'll get criticized or called names by someone. So what?
Jesus was criticized. In fact, He was hated so much for what He said that the Jewish leaders wanted Him dead. They succeeded, but only because Christ allowed it.
Jesus told us that as His followers, we would be persecuted. People who hate Christians hate us because we stand for the light. I'm not talking about those who go to church on Sunday because they are afraid of going to hell. I'm talking about real Christians. We will be persecuted. Christ said so.
Don't be afraid of it. There's nothing to be afraid of. Christ is there to guide and protect us. We have nothing to fear.
