Woah, many people do use the canon powershots. Ive heard there pretty good. I havent got one atm, but i would settle for a powershot, the canon ixus or a cybershot 5.0mp with carl leiss lenses. ---

i have also heard that the powershots are good, apparently the S60 is meant to be one of the best. Anyone got one? ---

Since you guys have cameras already, what qualities/features would you need from a camera that is ideal for good freelancing photography for maybe a portfolio for example? How many megapixels is sufficient and if theres anything not worth buying? Post camera model names as well. ---

> How do you like that Holga, Replode? Iā€™ve been thinking about getting one myself and maybe convert it to a pinhole. They look like funā€¦ The holga is great. Itā€™s small, and it takes some really great stuff. And the light leaks and vignetting adds to the originality of whatever you shoot. Iā€™ve seen those pinhole things, but the only modding I did on mine was convert it to a 6x6. I hope you end up getting one, they are worth every penny (of like $15) and are fun cameras. ---

Replode, i might check the holga out - looks pretty cool! Right now my main camera is the Canon 300D (Digital Rebel) I love it to death! ---

Canon S330, its only 2 megapixels but it takes beautiful pictures. They donā€™t make it anymore, [http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=7506](http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=145&modelid=7506) ---

How many megapixels is sufficient and if theres anything not worth buying? > Post camera model names as well. All depends on what you use the camera for, these following point are the things to look out for. -a good Megapixel (4-5, this will determain how large in resolution/ dimension you can have your photos. a 5 mp you can print out whole a a4 page photo) -quality lens (a camera may have all the features under the rainbow but if it dosent have a good lens, then you wont get a good picture) -manual or auto features -good shutter speed -a average of 3-4 **optical** zoom (which some have a killa 10x now) -ability to exchange flash and lens. -long lasting battery ( i hate those ā€œAAā€ battery type nowā€¦ whats going on there?) -A decent weight to it (easy to hold the camera steady) -smart location of important buttons, -a large size LCD screen( try to get something 1.8 size) -default macro min and max ā€œin focusā€ measurment. -Memory card type (will determain how much you have to pay for a upgrade to a higher size card) those are few of the point you look at when buygin a cameraā€¦ i suggest look at [www.dpreview.com](http://www.dpreview.com) and go into there camera reviews you can see list of what the camera has and comments on whats good and bad. also have a search here i remember we might of had a thread about this. I have a Canon Powershot g3 and i love the camera, its hard working , battery last for age (lithium battery) 4mp is enough for web and print for me , although 5 would be better for print work. has a removable lens, flash additions, manual features, custom features, decent optical zoom, cool lcd screen that rotates and like all canon cameras i have encounted, a top quality lens. ---
