I'm thinking of upgrading my camera. Currently I have a Kodak DC215 Millenium from 2000, it works great and is easy for me to use, but it doesn't do the greatest job on closeup (macro) pictures when you need a real good closeup of something small (like when you want to sell on ebay). Also, it chows AA batteries like they're cheetos.
I have looked at the Coolpix 2500 and I seem to like it . . . it's gotten a good review at dpreview.com, and the price is reasonable. I'm not crazy about the styling, but can live with it. So in true CPF fashion, before I buy I just would feel better hearing from youse guys about your opinions on this camera or one you think I should be considering instead.
Important to me:
Ease of use
Uses CompactFlash memory cards (I have several already)
Good at closeup / macro shots
Easy for kids to use also
Rechargeable battery w/ long life
Durable
$200ish price range
I've also given thought to instead getting a used Coolpix 950 off eBay. Comments on that idea?
Thanks for all relevent comments!
