Camera?

Hi. I was wondering what camera everyone uses? Thanx




-Andre

I have a little Canon S200 Elph - has a decent macro (though the autofocus beam at <6" is rarely on the target) and has been through hell and back for 5 years and never skipped a beat (knocks on wood).

I inherited it from the wife after I bought her a smaller cuter more megapixely version of the same - cannot recall the model number of hers at the moment - but all our pics posted here were taken with the older model.

Thnx. Also can everyone ell me how much they paid also?

i use a nikon 5900 right now around 300 or so. any 3 meg. camera will do for internet purposes. a basic tripod(not fancy) and some bright lights will do wonders for pics and close-ups. i use daylight balanced flour. tubes for bright shots, you can find them at lowes/depot.

I have an older (2-3 years old) Kodak EasyShare. Still working great for me, although I can't help but drool over new cameras now and then. LOL

We have a Fuji Finepix 52s (digital cam, 10x optical zoom lens. I LOVE this camera; it rocks. Here are a few pics it took:

It was $300 Buy.com.

I have a Kodak z740.

A good site & forum to check out is here:

I use a Minolta DiMage Z2 and I wuv it. It has a macro and a super macro mode, plus lots of other goodies. It takes awesome photos, even in bad lighting. I paid around $375 for it from www.butterflyphoto.com.

we got the canon powershot A620 for like $230 or so and it works great.

I use the Kodak EasyShare CX7430

does good w/ macro shots

Casio Exilim Z755. Love it!

Canon EOS Rebel XT
8.0 megapixel
down to about $800 now...worth it IMO

Here is one of the first pictures I took with it: (sorry about size)

That's an awesome picture, but it really is too big. Would you like to shrink it some, or prefer for it to be linked?

I was way off on mine - it's only a Canon Powershot S110!

i have the same camera and i love it... plus now that the upgrade is out you can get these for about $200. we got ours on clearance from target for $180

Nikon coolpix all the way baby!!!!!! I have a Nikon coolpix 7600..it was $350 when I got it two years ago.....worth every penny IMO. came highly recommended by a friend who photographs PDFs in Costa Rica.

I use a Olympus Evolt 500, 8MP DSLR, its a BEAST

I'm looking to get a camera too - I want one that is rechargeable (our current one isn't and it's a pain)

Anyone got one of these Fuji FinePix E900 Digital Camera [9MP 4 X Optical Zoom] ?

or Nikon Coolpix - it says it has a Supported Battery: 1 x Li-ion rechargeable battery ( included ) - do these rechargeable batteries get recharged using the computer? Sorry - I'm a complete geek with it comes to cameras ...

We have a Canon Powershot A510 3.2MPix, it's ok for the $150.00 we paid for it.
Still learning how to use it and trying to figure out lighting, etc. We've thought of upgrading, but figure we'll learn the ins and outs first before buying another camera.

I think good pictures are more about learning to use the camera and lighting Vs an expensive camera. I've seen some crappy pictures with $1000 cameras and some great pics with $200 cameras.

they usually come with a wall charger. I always buy an extra...cuz sometimes you forget to charge one and then boom..your cam goes dead, but HEY...ya got one more :)

Thanks, Nate :)

i have a fuji S3000 - absolutely love it! i take a lot of really close up shots for my magazine and they always turn out soooo great!

we use rechargable batteries and i have other ones in my camera bag in case the recharge ones go dead... but mine last a long time so it's not often a problem.

here's a review (which i didn't read) but also a pic:

i'm in canada so my price would be different from yours. but i paid $300 2 or 3 years ago...

edited to add: of course buying the available replacement for this one would be the way to go... as this one is probably discontinued by now :)
