MAN OH MAN!! Iām having such a bad time picking out a good digital camera. I donāt want something real expensive because Iām not a serious photographer, I just want it for football/hockey games and taking pictures of my drunk friends this new school year.
Iāve been looking at the Fuji FinePix series (real interested in the 3800), they look like some solid cameras
Any one have other suggestions?! Cause Iām going bonkers over hereā¦
I use a very simple Samsung Digimax 200, which sells for under $200 ā¦
It has all the features I could possibly use, plus takes very nice, clear imagesā¦
I have a client who uses a $5,000.00 digital camā¦ I really canāt see the diff. especially for the $. A larger megapixel would be nice, if you are going to print larger than 5x7, but I rarely print anything, and when I do, 5x7 is fine.
i just (a month ago) got a new camera, itās a 4.0 megapixel konica. it works awesome, and was only 320 bucks.
anyway, check out www.jandr.com they have some low prices on awesome cameras
itās the quality of the pics
higher megapixel = higher quality
ie the picture isnāt pixelized even though itās larger.
i believe the TOP of the line (the 5000 dollar one) is 15 megapixel
Digital zoom just allows you to zoom in much in the same way you zoom into jpeg in photoshop, when you zoom in your picture becomes more pixelated. Thatās how I understand it.
My dad bought a 4 Megapixel camera, Cannon S45:
Itās really not a big deal with high res. My camera shoots up to 1280 but itās kind of pointless because you really donāt need that much.
I just stick with 1024 and itās fine. I think 3 or 2 is prolly enough.
I have a Canon Elph 3.2 mp w/ a 128mb card and it rocks. No problems at all, takes video, etcā¦ Great camera for around $300. Iām sure you could find one maybe on EBay or something but I couldnāt reccomend it more highly
//edit// donāt spend 700 for a 2mp, I would cry. But I will sell you a 2mp for 700 if youāre hellbent on throwing money away.
I bought a Canon IXUS 400 a few weeks back. Stunning cameraā¦ for me itās the perfect balance between a fun/serious camera. High megapixels (4m) but small and compact enough that it can go everywhere with you. Brilliant stuff! Takes great photos (Check the āMalaysia piccy-wicciesā thread ;))
I have a Fuji finepix, get it - you wont be disappointed, its awesomeā¦ Its a proper camera, not just one of these drop in your pocket camera lookin things.

Those arenāt bad. FujiFilm has theā¦ wellā¦ āFuji coloursā, which are a lot different then the famous āCanon coloursā, but I think Fuji is closer to reality than Canon sometimes. Anyway, whatever you choose (Fuji or Canon), itās good.
