My first camera is middle of the road, good quality name brand camera: Canon Elph SD110. Not great stats, but very tiny. 3.2 MP, 2x Zoom. I want a kick arse camera in a couple of years for sure!

Having seen the results of 2MP do you think it's sensible to really aim above 3 or 4 MP to get decent pictures tho? I've seen some coming out now with 5MP.

I would say so, yes. The difference between 2MP/4MP seems quite a lot. But these days, if you're gonna buy new, I'd say 5MP is the minimum, unless you don't want to fork out a lot of $$$. But the price difference between the two isn't that big.

 

But overall, I think the issue is if you want big pictures to be printed. 1024x768 pics I take look pretty good, 640x480 pics are look exceptional.

 

I do find a nice zoom (optical, forget digital) is a great feature, which is the biggest feature the camera is lacking. That's what happens if you buy a small camera with a small lens. Big zoom will not happen. I was looking for a trade-off, I wanted the compact size.

 

I love this model so much (been replaced by a newer one that has better zoom a month ago grrr, for the same price too) - I may replace it with the better camera, same line when I do get a new one.

That's awesome, rebel. The level of detail in that photo is astounding.

confused13.gif Anyone know how good the Canon EOS Digital Rebel is? Rebel you know? confused13.gif

Ultimately, I can see myself buying a Rebel...

 

Take a look at Zeebra (he's a friend of mine from work)

The camera is THAT good. The price is really dropping now too ( expect the middle model to be about $600 Cdn by the summer).

 

Only thing I don't like about SLR (Single Lens Reflex) cameras is that it takes CF (Compact Flash) RAM. That kind of ram isn't as compatible as SD.

can you change the type of file it takes? like to Jpeg or something...or is it just stuck at CF?

Yup - commented on my TD Towers deviation and got me into the white borders. This was back in the fall some time. He was probably my 5th watcher or so at that point...

You need your first "controversial, sell out" pic wink.gif

 

If you post a couple of times in the forum or join a few clubs it shoots up. Plus having cute kitty pics help.
