Consumer Reports stated that digital cameras in general are among the most
reliable of the electronic devices they've tested. They test only the name
brands and the percent of reported problems are within just a few percent
from best to worst. Image quality is very rated high on all but a few
models, but I like to make my own judgment call there. You may want to pick
up the 'Zine and have a look.
Avoid the the sub $100 no name "blister pack'" cameras. They may be
reliable, but image quality is nothing near what they claim the megapixels
are.

I have a Logitech "eyeball" webcam which can take single pictures and store
them on the computer.
Very, very reliable.
Purchased 3 years ago for $45 (Australian) and still going strong.

Further, some of the cheaper "blister pack" cameras do not use flash
cards. They have only an internal memory- I don't know which
technology but it is not flash- and the batteries only last a few
hours, and run down even when "turned off". That is, they use battery
power to store the images. When you take pictures you need to rush home
to download them before the battery dies and all images disappear. >> Stay informed about: Cheapest Reliable Digital . |
