Digital Camera Recommendations


Recommended Posts

Let's help out for the BST deadline
The mandatory pictures for the BST section is Aug. 1st. So, lets here everyone's recommendations for digital cameras. :idhitit:

I am partial to Canon myself. I have a digital Elph and a Canon 10D. Of course even today's camera phones are good enough to get decent web pics. What's in everyone's camera bag and do you have any tips to help everyone out? :D

I have the old Canon S200. I want to upgrade to the SD500 7.1 MP. But just not yet. Want to ad a camcorder also. Maybe the Sony or the Canon.

 

I like canon for the cameras.

 

Not sure either,

I've had a total of 4 digital cameras over the last 5 years or so. (One broke, one I lost last month on a Vegas trip :idhitit: ), but I like Canon as well.

 

I've had a Powershot s50, which is a midsize camera with lots of manual controls, so if you're planning on exploring/improving in digital photography, you can choose the S60 or S70 that are current models.

 

My powershot replacement is a Canon SD400 Digital Elph. Unbelievably small and very powerful 5MP. Great 'anywhere' camera.

 

I also have a Digital Rebel w/and Image Stablization lens, but that's just overkill for club pics.

 

Now really every digicam with over 3 MP is a good choice nowadays. If you're printing, definitely go for a 4 MP camera or higher. And be aware of the type of memory cards the cameras take. Sonys are nice, but the memory sticks are proprietary and expensive, compare to Compact Flash ($35 for 1GB) which is the cheapest and Secure Digital ($50 for 1GB).

I have to put my loyalty down for Nikon. I have been shooting Nikon since I was given an old f2 that was too heavy for me to hold at the time. That camera still works like a dream. I also shoot a d100 and a d70. Canon is all marketing... That being said, Sony has Zeiss glass on their side so if you are looking compact I'd give them a try.

 

Unless you are really looking for an extra hobby pick up a compact. Most of the time lugging around an SLR and lens is like taking a full caddie bag to a putt-putt.

 

oh ps...

 

if you want some good camera reviews check out dpreview.com

I also have to vote for Cannon, I have had my digital rebel for over a year now and am truely in love with it. I just need to take a course in photo shop since that program is so expansive I could never learn everything it can do.

 

I take alot of wildlife photo's while I am hunting and fishing and love the Sgma 500 mm lense that I purchased. It is a bit cumbersome but the results are well worth it.

 

Beachbum if I were you and your budget i would go to Dpreview.com as they will give you the best advice and are honest as they are not biased. good luck

Dpreview is a great camera forum. That place has made me spend so much money on Glass. Its almost as bad as golf. Most lenses I use go for around $500-$1000. I still get incredible results with my Digital Elph though and the pice on 1 gig CF cards is way less than when I first started buying them. I think about the Nikon sometimes because their Sport mode feature is pretty good.

I would get a Canon digital Elph at around that price. Decent zoom and pretty compact.
