Thinking about getting a new digital camera. going for the 500 - 700 dollar range. I would like simple point and shoot, with a really high megapixel.

found this one at Wolf Camera.

anyone else have some good suggestions.

if you just want a point and shoot camera, why do you care if it's 5+? If you're not going to blow it up for a large picture, then 5mp will be more than enough.

700 range you might be able to get a dig slr ( not sure ) , i would totally get instead of point and shoot if you could find one in that range.

anti would be the best person to talk to i think.

I have a Canon A95 5 megapixel camera. I really like it. I think it was $450 CDN or something.

Good shizzz right there.

high megapixel count with a crappy lense will just give you crappy high-res photos. Lense is VERY important

My bro got a camera for something about that price. I think this was it http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/contro ... elid=11154 Although that looks slighly different.

Canon G6 is probably the best point and shoot you can get... 7.1mp

But at that much I would go dslr. You could get a Nikon D50 for the same price.

hmmm I may look into DSLr's then.

What he said. I would get the Canon G6, but if you're looking for something ultra compact than go with that Nikon Coolpix. Both are great cameras, it's just a matter of preference. If you want to get into photography I would suggest the d50. You can still throw it on automatic and let it do the work for you, but it also provides everything you need if you wanted to get into manual photography.

yeah I found a D50 + lens for 699. but its only 28mm lens. I may just buy the body and get 2 lenses instead.

that might rack up the bill a bit. most high quality lenses are fairly expensive. when i bought my d70 body i was thinking of doing the same - but i thought it would be more beneficial to just get one higher quality lens that will work for basic shooting (25-70).

[Forte]

I wonder if the lenses I currently have will fit it... how can I check? I have a macro lense and a regular one for shotting med - long shots.

[anti]

If they aren't Nikon lenses, they won't fit. I'm not even sure if Nikon SLR lenses fit Nikon DSLR cameras.

I could always go to the store and see for myself.
