Hi Mamas! Our camera broke so it is time for a new one. We have a 2 year old so we want to buy something that works well capturing little ones on the move. I am looking for something in the 200-300 dollar range. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!
Thanks for all of the great ideas and suggestions ladies!!!!
We've used Canons in our family for years. Among my daughters and me, we've got several in the $100 to $500 range and love 'em all. Have found them to be reliable, able to take a beating and also produce very good pictures.
Good luck!
I agree with Canon, I love them and they've done great for me. I'm pretty tough on cameras, to be honest, and I take TONS of pictures, way too many to be healthy actually. I've gotten the "cheap" Canon Power Shot because like I said, I usually drop them or let my kids use them or whatever and they last a few years and then they are done. So I spend about $200. I just recently got the Canon waterproof one that is more durable and obviously waterproof and I love it! I accidentally dropped it the second day I had it and I was so relieved I made the right choice!
I like the Power Shots b/c they are small and cute and compact and fit very easily in a purse or pocket. I like to have my camera with me all the time and my kids are still little so I don't want to fuss with lenses, a case, etc. Plus, I sometimes have to stop pictures mid picture to run after my 2 year old. :)
Nikon 8200. Takes the best point n shoot ever!!! You can get it for about $225 to $250. I take a huge amount of pictures of my grandchildren. Prefer it to my SLR.
I LOVE my Nikkon camera. It take wonderful clear photo's.
I am a Nikon girl here! I just got a Nikon D5100, but it was about $800 for the camera and wider range lens.
The guy at the store showed me a different Nikon that was amazing, just with slower shutter speed and it was about $300 I think. With how fast my kids move, shutter speed is very important to me.
I also have a Nike D40...which is closer to $400 with the camera and the wider range lens - takes AMAZING pictures. I am giving that one to my 9 year old who loves photography as much as I do.
I tihnk anything Nikon or Canon will do you well though.

I went to a camera shop and told them what I wanted to spend and what I wanted the camera to do. I think the brand can change based on $ and what you want it to do or what you want pictures of.
