Default Advice on Digital Cameras? - 05-01-2005, 10:42 PM
Yeah umm I need a nice digital camera for my photo`s class im taking cause the one they lent me is garbage... 1.2 mp`s"mega pixels" and its crap for zoom in...

I wanna get one for myself anyways.... do you guys know any really good ones for around $250 USD?

I want like 5 mp`s if you can find one....

i found this

http://www.bestbuy.com/site//olspage.js ... 2119760209

which seems like a kick ass deal... but its rebates though... i need something good with no rebate because i hate that shit...

k thanks.

If the lense sucks, it wont matter whether it is a 9 mega pixel, it will just be high resolution poop. Canon uses great lenses.

Canon and Kodak are the best.

What are you using it for? I highly doubt you have any reason to get a 5mp camera. Stick with 3 or 4mp.

[quote="Short Hand":689c9]Canon Rebel[/quote:689c9]

1. no. good camera but theres better on the market for the same price
2. not even close to $250



All these camera's are under $300, and offer 5mp. Check out each camera, as the site offers an indepth review and sample images from each.
[url="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp"]http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp[/url]
If the link doesn't work just go to http://www.dpreview.com yourself, go to buying guide and search around for what you want. The only thing you really need to change are the price, sensor photo detectors (mp), and other shit such as zoom capabilities, if it has manual zoom, etc.


ps: change that fucking avatar.

Rebel XT is fucking awesome. I wish I could afford it, but I don't take many pictures anyway.
