digital camera

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. :cheers:
