 | View Full Version : whats a good digital camera to get?? 21inchguns 01-15-2002, 09:20 AM Hi there, what is the best digital camera to get at a reasonable price.....I need fairly good quality, the pics will only be for the web, no print stuff.......... Timothy 01-15-2002, 11:55 AM Personally I recommend Sony Mavicas. I have one and love it. greggish 01-15-2002, 12:02 PM I'd go for the Nikon 995... but check out dpReview.com (http://www.dpreview.com/) .It's the best digicam review site. Nordic 01-15-2002, 12:41 PM Depending on your budget, but I have found the Canon Power Shot G2 4.0 Mega Pixels doing a great job for around $ 880.00 But it all depends on what your going to do with it. Happy hunting :) Nordic Chicken 01-15-2002, 09:12 PM In my opinion, a 4 megapixel, $800+ camera would be overkill for most web related pictures. You could get by with 1.3-2 easily and they have some nice ones out in the $150-$400 range, but knowing your budget and past likes/dislikes, experience would help. HostInspect 01-15-2002, 09:32 PM The absolutely best camera to get is: Product: Lumix DMC-LC5 Company: Panasonic Consumer Electronics Price: $799 Available: February 2002 my opinion... Nordic 01-16-2002, 04:06 AM I totally agree if you only do websites, but "for a few extra" you get a relly good camera that you can grow with and even use for print. -My few Euro Cents Nordic platinum 01-16-2002, 08:52 AM Originally posted by Timothy Personally I recommend Sony Mavicas.

Be careful, some of them are really horrible, the ones with the proper carl zeiss (sp?) lens are good, the others are more your 'happy-snappy' take a picture of the kids at the beach type camera, if you know what i mean :D perpetual 01-18-2002, 03:14 AM I've got the Canon Digital IXUS - the smallest one on the market when I bought it two years back. It rocks! I take it everywhere cos it fits in my pocket. (I never took my old normal film camera anywhere before this) At 2.1megpix, it's good for the web and the print quality is basically photo standard as far as I can tell. Chicken 01-18-2002, 11:27 AM Originally posted by perpetual I've got the Canon Digital IXUS I think that's the same one I have, but it goes by either the S100 or S110 here in the states. Have to look it up to see which. ebird 01-18-2002, 04:31 PM Coolpix 995, Minolt Dimage 7, Sony S85. pitchford 01-18-2002, 08:08 PM Easy answer to the question: Nikon CoolPix 5000.... 5.24 MP (5 effective) - 28-85 & 4x digital zoom... Very nice wide angle lense. The 995 is not bad, but its only 3.3 MP. You can get the 885 which is 3.2 MP for only 599; where as the 995 cost (899 - 100 rebate) For the most part they have hte same features. But I've got the 5000 and love it! You can set f.stops, shutter speed, etc! I've heard of people priting 16x20s with it! CoolPix 5000 - $1100. Tommy |
