For a high school student a Kodak easyshare camera is probably better. The Sony is a great camera but it's best for taking still pictures of objects, the Kodak is much better for taking pictures of people which is what high school students generally like to do.
the = Canon PowerShot G10 IS 14.7MP Digital Camera = = find = it at this link. http://www.plemix.com/camera-canon-g10is-camera copy and paste. wont let me hyperlink it
== == Cannon Rebel XTi, and any Sony Cybershot with 7 megapixels or better.
If Sony Cybershot DSC-S700 has a real-time mode - you can use it as web cam /for sure/.
Sony digital cybershots are different because they have a bigger lense and can zoom in farther and make images look better zoomed in. They also take steadier pictures.
The Cybershot digital camera is a point and shoot camera series developed by Sony. The Cybershot typically comes with LCD's that are larger than other cameras in the same mid level point and shoot price range. The Cybershot has also recently introduced an iAuto feature, or Intelligent Auto feature, that automatically adjusts the camera's settings to account for different levels of light and depth to give new photographers better pictures every time. Sony BMBP on Cybershot cameras allows for easy selection of photos and videos for upload to a computer or social networking sites right from the camera.
The kodak easyshare c433 would be a an ok choice for your son although it is slightly outdated. I would recommend the Olympus T-100 12 MP Digital Camera which you can find online for $70-$90 as a better choice
Both are good cameras, I just tend to prefer Canons, because of there image processing. I just thing that every year they make the best point and shoots.
Kodak m577
Kodak is a camera company that has gained a reputation for their high quality, and relatively inexpensive, point and shoot cameras. Their most popular line of digital camera is the EasyShare. The EasyShare has built a name for itself by making it easy for the user to print and share their photographs on social media sites. Kodak digital cameras typically feature a Smart Capture feature, automatically adjusting the camera to the optimal settings depending on the lighting and focal points of the shot. While not guaranteed to create the perfect shot, it enables beginners to take much better photographs.
You can always use Picasa or Adobe Photoshop Elements to better manage and edit your photos.
an ipod is better than a digital camera
I think the best camera is kodak easyshare c143 cause other 2 camera's have 10 mp and it have 12 mp and its is best in look. And a great point is this, that it is very cheap to buy . . .
