selbbub78 0 #1 April 20, 2006 Okay guys, I know some of you must have some ideas of some good digital cameras that aren't incredibly expensive. Basically just looking for something to take pics with, maybe a few short videos, have a timer on it. My major thing is not incredibly expensive. What types should i look at? I'm sure some of you have some ideas, right?

scottbre 0 #2 April 20, 2006 Get a Canon. The A510 - A540 are nice little cameras with plenty of photography options, should you ever want to play with some of that. Hi bubbles. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #6 April 20, 2006 Best camera ever for not too much money: Panasonic Lumix FZ5. It's got a leica lens (36 - 432mm equiv. F2.8-3.3, 4x digital zoom), an amazing 12x optical zoom (not digital zoom, optical) with optical image stabilization so you can actually use the zoom to it's maximum capacity. 5 megapixels, capable of taking JPG pictures and TIFF, holds up to a 1gb SD card and is very small and light. It's got novice settings (full auto) for beginners, as well as all the manual functions for professionals and more experienced photographers. I've heard people in the photography business call this camera "photojournalism's best kept secret." Oh, and it does video and has a timer, too. You can get it for between $300-$500. If you get this camera, you will not regret it. Since I bought this camera, I haven't touched my olympus, minolta or nikon. The Lumix is tiny, lightweight enough that it won't make your neck ache carrying it on a strap all day, and small enough to fit in a large coat pocket. http://www.steves-digicams.com/2005_reviews/fz5.html http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonicfz5/ My dad dropped upwards of $800 on a new olympus digicam, and I got my Lumix three days later. He was really pissed at himself after playing with my new camera. Mine had a better lens, better zoom, better stabilization, weighed a lot less, and cost $500 less.

Paige 0 #9 April 20, 2006 Fuji Fine Pix was my X-mas gift from Ari. Takes great pics, 5.1 megapixels I think. He's got it at the moment. Has a high speed setting, zoom and digital zoom, and is super slick looking. Does video and has a timer too. I was taking pictures at a hockey game and every photo I took was a frozen snap shot in time, no blur at all! I think this is a link to mine http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital/lineup/z2/index.html It's either the Z1 or Z2, it also comes in black which is nice because it doesn't dirty as easy as the silver. Hope this helps.Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherB 0 #10 April 21, 2006 I got a new Sony Cybershot (DSC-S600) about a month or two ago. I got it on sale at Circuit City. 6 megapixels, it'll take videos, has a timer, all that jazz. Cool, Circuit City has them for $189 right now: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sony-Cyber-shot-DSC-S600-Digital-Camera/sem/rpsm/oid/142192/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
