Reminder – This is mostly going to be small little pocket digicams. I used many older Sony digicams so for those of you who want something small and simple, this is going to be wonderful for you!
Small things I consider when I own cameras: I always buy more than one battery, some cameras require some tweaking to get used to or the right colors for and every camera can be maneuvered around just be patient. Each brand has their own “look”.
I have tested these cameras with their based settings and even with tweaked settings. When I mention the colors that the camera may lean to, this may refer to something I have noticed in specific situations or often, and unless noted otherwise this color can be tweaked to your preferred look.
