Digital Cameras .....

[jackssi]

Not a music topic but ..... I'm looking into buying a compact digital camera. Any advice on best web sites for purchace / models? I'm looking at a Panasonic DMC LC70B for ?199 direct from Panasonic ......any good???

in the point and click digital world (even SLR's to an extent), I would ONLY go with a canon..... phenomenal camera's and from the easiest to use to the most complicated professional designs, you have your variety....

I recently got a G5 as a present and that's prolly the BEST present I have gotten my entire life..... bought a 1 gb flash card to complement the camera alongwith a more powerful battery and I'll tell you.... for an entire week without a recharge / running out of space + I had 400 HIGH QUALITY 1600 x 1200 sized images with the most vibrant colors...

while that is not the largest size (I think it can take 2038 x 1600 - dont remember the exact dimenstions), its a brilliantly crafted camera.

Of course if you're looking for something smaller, take a look at their "S" line of models..... i.e. the S400 / S500

I bought the S400 for my brother on his wedding and it's another awesome camera.... small, lightweight, and with 4 MP's from Canon, you cant go wrong

I'm after one too, thinking about Fujifilm A310

I'm not that into cameras, so trying to budget around ?100-150, any other suggestions.................

the main reason I'm getting one is because the miss' is due in 4 weeks and it would be alot easier to email photo's of the newborn around to family and friends!

Thanx in advance

Re:: Digital Cameras .....

Have got a Cannon Ixus v3. Wicked camera, though the software with it is a little clunky/sketchy.

that sounds f-ing incredible... if you don't mind me asking, how much did all that run you (excluding the camera since it was a present). where did you find the gear? i'm thinking about digital cams myself at the moment.

so the s400/500 is what once was the S40/50 right?

i have an s50, really good one, easy to use. 5MPs and nice look

I bought both on Tiger-Direct.com for about $250 (including overnight shipping) cause I was due to leave town shortly....... the 1 gb flash card was about $179 if I remember correctly and the Energizer battery was about $29.

I'll upload some sample pictures taken from my G5 on my recent trip to Hilton-head....incredible camera I'll tell you that.... and right now buy.com has some specials going on where the camera is running about USD 499 with $20 mail in rebate I think. It's a phenomenal value for a 5 MP camera.....
