Submitted by Chetan on Tuesday, 29 July 200811 Comments

With mobile phones all over, coming in with 5 MP cameras in most of the new ones, the list of top mobile phones for 2008 had some great ones, but the photography lovers still try to keep the mobiles far away from Digital cameras, giving the image capture job to cameras, and communication job to the mobile phones. But for those who don’t want to spend a lot and just want to have a simple digital camera which comes under $150, then here are a few of the best -

Samsung L100 digital camera -
One of the simplest L-series cameras, which has most of the features which a higher series and high priced camera has. 8.2 Megapixel, 3x digital zoom lens. The screen is 230,000 pixel and 2.5 inch LCD. Automatically adjusts to the brightness detecting the light around it.
Multi Slide show option available for viewing albums with the preloaded music in the camera. Rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. The newer version of this camera has Samsung’s advanced i-movie mode, which offers users SVGA resolution (800×592), MPEG-4 video and advanced editing controls.
Some more cool features available in Samsung L100 are Face Detection, Self Portrait and Auto Red Eye Fix modes.

Nikon Coolpix L10 digital camera -
This digital camera is a great budget phone and is available at a price range between $84.99 to $99.99 in various online and local stores but the main drawback is the low 5 Megapixel camera. The price says it all though. Still it has a few good features such as Auto focus face detection, the image quality still is good.
But you will see this having slow flash recycle time, and also low resolution pictures, and has low controls.

Samsung S860 digital camera -

The first impressive point is that it has a 8 Megapixel with 3x optical zoom and 2.4″ LCD display. Dual image stabilization, face detection are the additional features. Function desctiption and camera guide studded in the camera. Self shot. Everything seen in a high sensitivity ISO 1000 technology.

    To add one more to your list I just bought a Casio Exilim EX Z8 and found it quite nice, it was 85 GPB which is nearly the budget slot you have reviewed, probably cheaper now as I bought it a month back.

    I see one of the cameras has a rechargeable battery. For me, this is important right next to the picture quality.

    My wife has been complaining for the last year that our digital camera’s shutter speed is too slow to get pictures of our kids. I will take a look at the Samsung L100 camera noted in this post. With two kids electronics get abused quite often, so something affordable is always a plus!
