Digi Cam

[Matt76]

Anybody know of some good digi cams. I am thinking about suprising my g/f with one for x-mas

I got my gal a Canon about 1 year ago. I'm very happy with the quality and performance. I also got the portable printer. Does real good when your at fam houses and you want to print them a pic on the spot. I got the Canon because if the cam was broke the printer will work with any printer vise versa. I'll get the model number tonight if you want it.

 

[Matt76]

sure i'd like to take a look at it. She has a crappy kodak one righ tnow that doesn't take pics worth a damn

 

[entrigan]

That was probabily the same cam I was looking at originaly. Didn't get because the software and printer were only compatible with that model. I like the quality of the Canon i'll get you that info tonight when I get home.

Matt don't get caught up in the more pixels the better the picture. I've seen cameras with 2 mega pixels that took a better pic than one with 4.

I'm going to scan Nov issue of Consumer Report that rates the digital cameras and post it.

I tried to make the type easy to read I hope I didn't leave it too large.

 

[Matt76]

thank you KC I learned a lot and now have a few ideas

 

[KC Lifter]

You're welcome glad to do it.

 

[Matt76]

damn there are so many freaking options it is crazy haha

Here is the list i'm trying to decide between:
Canon PowerShot A630 will try to get on ebay
Canon PowerShot A620 can get it for around 135total
Canon PowerShot SD500 160total
Casio EXZ750 175
Sony Cybershot DSC-W50


I really think the powershots look cool and I like the feature to them. I did however, read their outdoor quality might be low

 

[KC Lifter]

I don't think you can go wrong with a Canon.

 

[Matt76]

i'm leaning towards getting the A620. That way I can get a memory card too

 

[KC Lifter]

that would be a good choice.

4 the $ i think ur right

my dad acutally went out & gota nikon 500$ or so & the thing is amazin....*ill get the details 2marrow* but this thing is just great, but 500$ is alot of mooola
but consumer reports & theres a few other review sites, review. com etc that r really good & can def b helpfull:sheep:

The thing about spending a lot of money on a camera is do you really need all the bells and whistles. I mean unless you're really going to get into photography seriously or as a business, you can get everything you need in a camera for under $300.

Chances are a better and cheaper camera will come along in a year or 2 and you'll want to buy it. So my thinking is get one that will take a good pic and spend a reasonable amount on it.

You don't want to look back in 6 years and see you have 3 cameras in your closet that you paid $500 each and think damn that's $1500 sitting there.
You could've still bought new cameras for an average price of $250 and still have $750 more in your bank account.

Believe me everything advances fast with these items what cost $500 today you can buy in a couple of years for under $300. Prices fall and the products gets better over time.
