Looking to buy myself a new digital camera in Yongan this weekend. I am not really up on what I can expect any more since camera technology seems to be moving ahead at a pretty decent clip. I was looking to spend around 300,000, any advice would be much appreciated. I don't want anything to fancy but I would like to be able to take some short videos with it and have a reasonable storage capacity. Hope ya can educate me.

I bought a Canon IXY 70 a few weeks ago. Everything I have heard about it is great and I love it. You can shoot short video (1 minute or so) at up to 60 fps. Crap is that they only give you a 16 MB card. I am more than sure that they will try and sell you a 1 GB card along with it, I passed since I already had one. Got the camera for 220,000. It's small and it's awesome...I seem to be saying that a lot lately Embarassed

I want to get a digital camera for my stay in Korea. If I buy a digital camera in the States, will the 220 electrical overpower my or burn out my camera?

Will I have to buy or can I buy some kind of transformer?

If your camera has a built in charger or rechargeable battery you will probably burn it out if you just plug it in.

Check on the adapter and see what it says.

If it says "input = 110v" then you need a transformer.
If it says "input = 110-240v and 50/60Hz" then you will be fine.
