Digital Cameras

http://www.dpreview.com/

 

I second that.....it's my favorite website/forum for digital photography.

They have excellent user reviews and ratings on all of the latest cameras. Don't put too much stock in the number of pixels. Make sure it has a good rating for picture quality--which is as much a function of lens and CCD quality as it is the number of pixels.

you can learn a TON at dpreview.......there are some very knowledgeable people who post in their forums.

 

Another place that's good is:

http://www.steves-digicams.com/

 

this site looks pretty good.....do you know of one that has reviews for digital video cameras as well?

 

I always check out www.nextag.com before I purchase camera equipment. At that point, I end up buying on the Internet though--because the prices are always better.

 

What about underwater photography. I'm a new scuba diver. Should I be looking at digital?

$429.99, about $70 cheaper than CircuitCity

 

for future reference, www.streetprices.com is an electronics price research site ..thats where i found that at

 

Sony cybershots are throwed i have a DSC-p73

 

I have the Canon EOS Digital Rebel and I love it. It is pretty hands-on, works with Canon's changeable zoom lens system, comes with really decent software and takes awesome shots.

 

Also,

If you're nervous about buying from an online company and want to find out more about them, check out ResellerRatings.com

Urbandictionary is just invaluable in figuring out what the heck the kiddies are talking about.

 

Ok, for you camera geeks out there -

What is the best digital camera for $300 - $400

Looking for:

Olympus, Nikon, or Canon
Want lcd and optical viewfinder
Want at least 5 megapixel
Lens aperture less than f/2.0
Either 3-5 optical zoom or something larger w/a stablizied zoom
Not AA battery
Want some manual controls --in addition to automatic program modes (and preset exposure modes (landscape, portrati, etc.)), would like some manual modes too. Like aperture and shutter mode. Don't want shutter lag.

Thoughts?

THANKS.

 

That's a lot of $$$ for on 3x optical zoom. What is anyone going to do w/ 7.2 megapixels?

Get some more optical zoom and a little less mp's IMHO.

 

So, um, is throwed kinda like aloha, which can mean hello or goodbye?
