I work in an electronic pawn shop. People come to us to "recycle" used electronics, everything from phones, video game consoles, and cameras. We have a pretty good collections of DSLR's and point and shoots. Of course we have the cheapo crappy Double A battery kind, but we also have the higher end ones.
Point of this story is that my girlfriend and I are going to an Anime convention in New York. We are we are really excited and we want to take a lot of pictures. Now, my parents have a...somewhat decent camera...but I REALLY hate it. I believe it is 10.1 MP, but it takes FOREVER to develop them. So, when I take the pic I have to wait almost a full minute for it to show up on the screen...GAHHHHH!!!! *rips hair out*, no way to take a bunch of pics at a con.
In my store, employees can "rent" electronics for a week and return it for the full money back. I figure I could rent a camera and then return it after the Con. My question is...what do I need to look for? I am aware that MP don't really mean anything as far as consumers go, but I do want to stay in the 10-12 MP range. I want to be able to take a lot of photos really quick (cosplayers only hold their pose for like... a few seconds), and then also it develop quickly too, so I can show them off. I also wouldn't mind..but I am not requiring HD video...but it would be cool but if it costs like 3-400 its not worth it.
What series are really good? There is no point in suggesting a specific camera because I doubt we have it, but we might have a model in that series. Any suggestions? Yes I know I have been vague, but I am new to this.
