New-York

Hi everyone.
I need some help. Where in New-York i can buy not expensive digital camera ($250).
And what do you think about Canon Powershot A85 and KonicaMinolta Z3 ?

I would look for a Ritz/Wolf camera, or even B&H Photo.

Ritz is probably the best choice. They are well renowned for their wonderful customer service, and their honesty. They are usually very knowledgeable, and great help for newbies.

If you are looking into the A85, then i would point you toward the A95.

The Z3 is going to have the zoom advantage with the 35mm-420mm (12x) zoom lens, but with only 3.9 efective Mps it has a disadvantage to both the A85 and the A95, although not by much with the A85. Also most ppl would most likely agree that the canon is going to provide better overall image quality.

It really depends on what you need the camera for. If you need the greater zoom then go with the Minolta, if you want better image quality go with the either Canon.
