so i'm thinkin of buying one... but anyone at a store selling such products would just be telling me stuff cause they want a sale...

so whats like a good bang for the buck camera to go with? i'd like to spend maybe $200-400 ish

canon man, can't beat a canon
i like my a70, though i want to get rid of it.

what exactly are you looking for, like do you want different modes or just aim and shoot?

punkindrublic

what kinda modes would i get?

spracingsports

my coworker lovs his Fuji... i borrow it occasionally and it is very good quality

punkindrublic

what models though? i'd imagine a bling bling camera from anybody would be good... but i just want a mid range cam... or is there much a difference between companies?

bdotdan

like for night shots, portaits, slow/fast shutter, scenic, movies etc.

punkindrublic

well i guess the more the merrier... i just want something i can buy and not be like damn this thing sucks

punkindrublic

how many mexa pixels do i really need also? its really only gonna be used for like family functions, myself, car and **** making... i see some have like 8mp and other with under 2

3.2 megapixes is enough for your purposes and it's in your price range. At full resolution, 5X7 prints are almost like print pictures.

For a digi-cam, you have to decide first your maximum budget. Then, what features are important for you, what size (physical and pixel). how fast the recording is, mpeg mode, what format of memory you want, flipping screen, etc....

I am now on my second camera. My first one was a Sony Cybershot with 1.3 megapixel. I have no regrets with that and now I just bought a Kyocera SL300R which is 3.2 megapixel and the size of a cigarette box. I don't think the Kyocera is available in Canada though....

hmm well the max i'd like to spend is around $400... as long as i can post up good pics on the net and maybe print out a few then i'm happy .... so i should be ok with a 3.2mp?

Loca_Boo

I spent $200 on mine at future shop and its a good camera,


the megapixels dont really matter if you want normal pics, the only difference with higher megapixels is that if you want to enlarge the pic it will not be as good quality

Mine's some Kodak on, 2.0 mp

spracingsports

my coworkers fuji is 4mp i believe and it WAS $400 when he got it, less now... but its bulky and no video


get that thing with russel simmons in the commercial HAHA, voice recorder, video, pictures

punkindrublic

ya video recording would be sweet... ah well i'm gonna go take a look... hopefully i dont see anything i like cause i'll probably take it home... maybe i could finally post up some updated pics of the punk mobile

spracingsports

YAY!!!


im the same way.. i see something i like i get it

bdotdan

video recording is short rick, most are around 3 minutes

if you suffer from pre-jac i guess its more than enough time

Toshiba PDR-M71 I love it...it a great camera.

oh 3.2 MegaPixels

should be pretty cheap now, paid about $450 a couple years ago.

Loca_Boo

now that you have your camera you should take pics of you all wet on your car in a swimsuit for the girls

I love cannon as well, out of all the cameras i have looked at, cannons always have the best pics for point and shoot, the image quality is very nice, there not that pricey either, next id choose a fuji

check out steves digicams for the best ones and reviews

well as loca boo indicated i did pick up a camera tonight..

i went with the canon A75... went a bit over budget.. well actually a lot over budget but its a pretty decent camera.. does movies with sound and all that jazz

heres some shaky hand pics from about 3 mins ago... there also "action" pics so they probably are worse cause of that too.. but all in all not a bad deal
