Recommend me a Digital Camera
 

well, my next big buy will be in a couple of weeks and I will most likely be getting a digital camera. Ive always wanted to get one but I keep putting it off and I just stick with my cheap web cam for taking pics, but I want a good one, but not too expensive.

Im willing to spend under $300 for one, so recommend me the best one in that price range.

I'll most likely get it from futureshop, so browse this link.

oh, and try and find me one with a battery packtype thing , I dont feel like going out and buying AAA batteries all the time.

thanks

What kind of photography(sp?) are you going to use it for? Just regular stuff, or more advanced? Closeup, scenery, staged, etc..?

just for my average everyday use. or say if I go on a trip or something and I wanna take pics of friends and shit.

Ok, then it wouldnt really be necessary to go over 4 mpix. Ill see if I can find anything for ya.

There you go. Wicked camera for a really nice price, considering what you get. You can use it in rainy, foggy, sandy, moisty, almost any weather, thanks to the aluminium casing. QuickTime movie feature, and 3.2mpix. resolution. Ive tried it myself when I was working in a multimedia store, and its really nice. If memory serves me right, you get two batterypacks with it, but the battery is good for roughly 200 pics or so before it needs reloading.

If you want higher resolution, you should go for this one:

They go by the name mju, not stylus, here in Sweden btw.

Good luck, and tell us what you eventually buy.

^ rock:...

Are the Olympus Verves any good?

hmm those are good, but they are really outta my price range. I dont really want to spend OVER $300

I havent gotten around to try that one yet, but if they are remotely as wellmade and nice as the regular stylus one's, then Yes, definately. That one, btw, goes under the name Mju Mini Digital in Europe. biggrin:

bleh, need to put in AA batteries loney:

not after tax's though....

only 2 AA's, you can use rechargables... IMO it's better than lithium... taxes suck, eh?...

sucks to have to pay PST i bet eh?

ya but they'll die really quick, that LCD screen takes up so much juice. and taxes do suck... loney:

then buy a crap-ass fuji...
