I want people in here to tell me their experience with cameras whether its good or bad lol

**wing_gundam** · 05-09-2007, 02:16 PM

well I can start off and say that buying a camera on ebay is a rip off....

they sell crappy extra parts to pack it in and hide high margins.

and those websites i gave give you professional reviews as well as many users...

not unlike recommending someone to visit HID planet for an hid question....

get a Sony, Canon or Nikon D-SLR. and Photoshop CS3. then take photography lessons.

**wing_gundam** · 05-09-2007, 02:23 PM

i dont think he's looking for an expensive cam..

but looking at that "deal" first, i personally don't like cameras that use disposable batteries - expensive and don't last long. They also give you a no name brand, a no name sd card (not gonna be fast, but prob fine for your purposes), and a desk tripod which is completely useless. its not really intended for outdoor use, its to stick on a desk....since a desk is flat and stable as is, you dont need a tripod for that.........

since the camera also can't let you select the iso speed your gonna be limited in the conditions that you can take a pic in, its gonna have to be fairly bright, but that will fit the normal conditions for a camera like that.

for a p&s any camera is fine really.

i could careless about the extra goodies i was asking about the camera itself lol i'll probably sell the "gifts" anyway

striker_1818 · 05-09-2007, 02:24 PM

what about this one?

now a d40 is a whole different camera...very good!

at 6mp though its older technology... but a great start to adslr.

since the body will only last you 2-3 years anyways, investing in lenses now that you can re use later with better slrs (or sell later) will be more helpful than having to toss a whole camrea.

also has a rechargeable battery +1

and you can chose any settings you need + 1,000,000,000

once again though its a questionable memory card... 8thgenuser, can you clarify, i thought the D40 used CF cards?

Si4Life · 05-09-2007, 02:27 PM

thats a sweet camera. once you get good upgrade the lens and you are all set.

striker_1818 · 05-09-2007, 02:30 PM

this is a 10.2 MP

good or not? price is right? too low? too high?

**wing_gundam** · 05-09-2007, 02:31 PM

also you should aways try the camera out in a store ... this guy seems to have a store.. maybe try it there and buy in person?

for a 10 megapixel, you should look at the D80 as it has a better sensor that can process 10 mp (the same thats in the professional grade D200)

hmmm the amityville stores are shady...
I'm like 5 mins from there

**wing_gundam** · 05-09-2007, 02:39 PM

plus just so you know...when you buy a removable lens, you should ALWAYS get a UV filter on it - and that will change for the diameter of the lenses you have - will be like $50-100 more.
