Top 3 Inexpensive Digital Travel Cameras

By James Martin, About.com

Need an inexpensive travel camera? Perhaps you're looking for something that teenager of yours can use while traveling, or something pocketable to use as a back-up camera when you travel. These are top compacts cameras that'll make a fine 8x10 image with today's printers. They all feature zoom lenses, some of them stabilized, which will give you enough options for great pictures. If you're on a budget, remember you'll need to purchase a larger memory card and a European power plug adapter for the charger.

1. Canon PowerShot SD880 IS

Canon PowerShot SD880 IS is a pocketable, 28-112mm image stabilized zoom camera that uses SD Memory Cards. The compact camera has some advanced features, like spot metering, that make the camera useful even when the user gets to want more sophisticated control over the final images.

2. Nikon Coolpix S210

If you're looking for a very inexpensive travel camera, this Nikon might be just the thing. It's not image stabilized and doesn't have much wide-angle to the zoom, but the price is right for a camera you can have fun with...and it's a Nikon.

3. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX37

The FX37 is an untracompact digital camera with an image stabilized wide angle zoom that will make those travel snapshots look the best they can. 10 megapixel resolution is enough for big prints, if you so choose.
