ReDD Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I finally have enough (I think) saved for a decent digital camera. I've wanted one for a long time!! I have roughly 400 to spend. I have heard that I should buy a camera with 4.0 MP or more but other then that I really have no clue what to buy. Does anyone have any good advice? Can you tell me what you use and it's good/bad points? I want to have some idea of what I am shopping for when I go to the store tomorrow. Thank you!!

questcequecest? Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 i recently bought a Nikon camera. i like it fine and it works lke a charm, plus lots of cool functions to play with (still havent figured 'em all out). the other camera i considered while I was shopping was a Panasonic. the Panasonic has twice the zoom (6x) and some sort of image stabilizing technology so you get crisper shots in low light. these are two features i wish i had on my nikon, but alas the decision was made long ago. i also bought the Nikon because it has a lithium battery, and i cant be bothered to change 'AAs' all the time.my main criteria was to buy a camera made by a camera company, not a film/computer/printer/electronics company.hope this helps... i gathered most of my info by shopping around, talking to people and weeding through their bullshit. and finally, i got guigsy's blessing before i bought it.if your patience is good, waiting for boxing day sales might be a good idear.

Lazlo Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 It's not important what kind of camera you get, what is important is that you don't take and definitely don't post any pictures of yourself. The kids around here have weak stomachs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 my main criteria was to buy a camera made by a camera company, not a film/computer/printer/electronics company. ahhh, but they're not "cameras" anymore... they are mini computer/electronic thingies with lenses... ... which is why panasonic is actually a great buy: electronics company doing the electronics, lens company making the lens. that said... and finally, i got guigsy's blessing before i bought it. :thumbup: nikon's my bread and butter.. thats what i use, and havent found a reason to knock 'em yet.
