I really want to get myself started in digital photography and I would like to know which of these models is the best one. I want a camera that’ll give me good performance, cool results, and that I can still use for personal (life/family) and it’ll still be very eye catching and stylish. Here are the models:
Sony 7.2 MP DSCW55 Cyber-shot Digital Camera
Casio 7.2 MP Exilim EX-Z75BK Digital Camera
Fujifilm 6.3 MP FinePix Z5fd Digital Camera
Olympus 7.1 MP FE230 Digital Camera
Hope someone can help me out. I anyone has any other suggestions, they’ll be more than welcome. Thanks!

I would choose the sony
Your budget seems to be under $200. I would also suggest you look at the the Olympus SP320 and the Canon Powershot A630. These cameras are slightly bigger than the ones you mention but they offer manual controls which will definitely help your photography grow. I think they look cool. They also handle a lot better than the normal digital camera because these have a grip you can hold. These cameras also have great image quality.
goto dpreview.com and compare them
end of the day most compacts are the same with small differences, wheres the cannon model, or nikon
i have 3 olympus cameras (2.0 to 7.1 mp) – cheap price. easy to use
also for comparison go to dpreview.com – great site with sample pictures!
Even though your selections are basically non-DSLR selections, you should consider a full sized DSLRl camera which is very affordable as discussed below.
Should you want an all-in-one 6.1 mp digital camera with a 36 to 432 mm “image stabilized” zoom lens, with stereo sound video capability, and you can afford $339, it’s the Canon Powershot S3IS.

Good luck!
You can find excellent detailed reviews at http://www.dcresource.com If your wanting to spend around $200 maybe check this one out: Canon PowerShot A630 Canon can usually produce great pictures of image quality and color and most of them provide full manual controls, so if you are just starting at it would be a great camera because you can expand with it, and experiment using different shutter speeds, aparture, iso and so on. My first camera was a digital canon camera like this and it was great! I learned so much from it and some of my best photos, are from this camera. If it’s too much, check out the buyers guide on the site or search by camera by price. I almost guarantee that you will find the reviews extremely useful, they are very detailed and go through a test of shots to show you the quality of the camera as will as all the controls on the camera. I urge you to check out the website and one of the canon cameras if not this one. Here is a review from their website:
