jeffro189 Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 i have been looking for digital camera and i think i will go with a sony camera. any have one? suggestions/comments Quote
Ducman Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I really like my cannon A-70, only 3 Mega Pixels though but that is plenty for a 8x10 picture. It has a nice quality view window which will let you see if you took a decent picture. The new version is called and A-75 or something. Don't get suckered in by a high Mega Pixel camera unless you need the super fine resolution or big picture size. Optical Zoom is a lot beter than digital zoom. Just some of my extremely ammatur opinions. Quote
jeffro189 Posted December 8, 2004 Author Report Posted December 8, 2004 yeah i heard the same thing about the optical zoom, and the camera i was looking at is only a 4.1 mega pixle. i mainly want one for taking pictures while riding, and stuff like that so i want a decently small camera that will take good pictures.

stclark04 Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I got a Canon PowerShot. I like it alot. Really easy to use. When I was buying mine, I asked about the Sony's and they told me they were a little harder to use, but a good camera My camera Quote
enFORCER Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 Yeah I bought a Sony Cyber-shot model# DSC-P73 A few months ago... It's a very nice camera.. Quote
Minkia38 Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I have the Sony dsc-w1 - The one with the 2.5" in the back, 5.1 megapixels its nice, but I like the pics with my old toshiba 3.2 better TONS of manual settings too..... Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I have this one http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controlle...5&modelid=10462 I've been very pleased with it. Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 I have the Nikon Coolpix 885- http://www.image65.com/index.asp?PageActio...ROD&ProdID=2600 They have newer versions out now but when I bought mine I went to about 5 camera stores and they all recommended it for the pictures I needed to take (school in Europe) basically vacation pictures. I really like it very durable and I had warranty for a year(Ritz Camera) that the guy said if I drop it and it breaks just a little that I should run it over with my truck so that he could just give me a new one instead of sending it in to get fixed. I dropped it a few times but never broke anything. Quote
banshee76179 Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 Olympus C-740 3.2 30x seamless zoom gets U real close..Heres a link! My camera Quote
nater006 Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 i've used many many dig cameras and am very happy with my Minolta Dimage Xt. Its one of the pocket ones. Only 3 megapix but that's enough for a pocket camera. i take more pics with that than anything because it is so portable and easy to move around. They have newer versions out now but... very happy w/ mine! like the others have said.. to heck with digital zoom. optical zoom is the only way to go. also, when shopping for them, a fast cycle time (time between pics) is a nice thing to have too.

blk02banshee Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 i mainly want one for taking pictures while riding, and stuff like that so i want a decently small camera that will take good pictures. 290656[/snapback] definately look into the OLYMPUS cameras. They make several models that are ALL WEATHER, and they are fairly small in size, and fit easily into a pocket. They're very good cameras. I use kodak 6340, and it takes great pictures, but if I knew then what I know now, I would have gotten the olympus. Quote
dlnoss Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 I just got a Canon 20D SLR. I'd been wanting a digital SLR for a while and finally bit the bullet. My Dimage 7Hi wasn't quick enough to consistently get action shots. I'll find out this weekend how the 20D does. Quote
jeffro189 Posted December 9, 2004 Author Report Posted December 9, 2004 damn some of you guys think that i am made of $$$$ Quote
bigboybanshee Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 I have a Fuji Finepix 2650. (I love it) Out of the store, it ran me 200 bucks, but on ebay you can find them for A LOT cheaper....It's only 2.1 megapixels but the picture quality is great. Also, one really important thing to keep in mind when buying a digital camera, is the fact the higher megapixel camera's will only be as good as the lens will allow. Meaning, you can get a 5 megapixel camera and still have a crappy picture if the lens isn't worth a shit. And on the flip side, you can have a low megapixel camera with a great lens and have excellent pictures. Quote
locogato11283 Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 i have a canon a70. its real easy to use but has a ton of different settings if you are advanced at takin pictures. Quote
