What would be a good quality, low price camera?
Dec 10, 2017 19:19:43 #
I haven't bought a camera in years, at least not since I bought my Nikon D3000, so yes, it has been quite a while. I have found that this camera fits my needs quite well, but this post isn't about me.
My daughter wants, as she put it, a "decent camera to take pictures with." Since I don't really have the money to get her a Nikon D3400, I'd like to know if there are any cameras out there, for a price of around $100, that would be worth considering. It's going to be a Christmas present for her, and I'm thinking about something in the Nikon Coolpix line. Suggestions?

KEH or Adorama or several other used photography shops... Just look at how they are graded... You could probably upgrade too.... I have bought Nikons and lots of lens too used going this route.... At the least it is worth looking into....

KEH gives you options to sort by price within a brand, so you could see what $100 will get you in Nikon. Look at bargin or EX rated for cameras will show a bit of aged, but still perfectly functional.

To be brutally honest, she wouldn't need the sophistication of add-on filters, or interchangeable lenses. She just wants a point and shoot.

I don't trust Craiglist in my area. Too many scammers.

Thank you! I need to do something pretty quick, so I can get it to give it to her. I've seen Nikon prices in WalMart starting around $89 for a Coolpix point and shoot, but I want to know what else is out there. I don't want to get her an El Cheapo camera that will lose the pictures every time you change batteries.

Thank you all for your great tips and suggestions! I am by no means done with my search. I have a couple of retailers in my area, as well as a camera store. I just want to narrow the field a bit.

You can find a really good entry level DSLR and a couple of lenses for a bit over that $100...I have (and still use!)_ a Nikon D40.....excellent camera and with the kit lenses (18-55 and 55-200) she will have more than a crappy point and shoot....Nikon D40!!!

ebay! I've had - and still have - several Canon compact cameras. Easy to use and good quality.
