  1. To anyone with a camera i wanna know what kind is it, what
    can it do and how much was it. I'm looking for one and don't
    know what's out there. Any responses are much welcome.

    Thanks in advance David

  2. Search the net, and go to as many electrical appliance shops
    as possible, there are loads of cameras that may suit some
    people but not others. So go for the objective, not
    subjective approach!

    This question belongs in Just Conversation. Visit
    <www.dpreview.com>. There are a few more such sites but I
    like this one best.

  4. Just curious, Am I correct to assume that you're looking for
    a digital camera? Either way, you might get more response if
    you specify.

  5. I did a lot of searching and comparing before selecting the
    Canon Powershot A80. The choices can be
    overwhelming....decide what level of megapixels you want and
    what features are really important to you, then optimize
    around those. For me, it was non-proprietary batteries (i.e.
    regular AA), and macro capabilities for extreme close up.
    There were other features, but those were at the top of the
    list for me. You will have your own choices.

    Overall, J&R had consistently the best prices, even better
    than Costco. jandr.comjandr.com

    Happy hunting,

  6. dpreview is very good, and also steves-digicams.com. Both
    have very long reviews.

    How about my camera, a Casio QV-4000? It's for sale. 4.13
    megapixel, 3x zoom, manual control, best shot feature (soft
    focus and other effects in-camera). You may have seen some
    of my pictures, though they are usually never displayed at
    their full size of 2240 x 1680 pixels.

    I'm replacing it with a Casio EX-P600. Smaller, lighter, no
    stupid lens cap, 6 megapixel, 4x zoom, more manual controls.

    Anyway, if you have a more specific idea of what you're
    looking for I can probably help, because I did extensive
    research to find my replacement camera. It's not a Casio
    thing, by any means. It took me a while before I came back
    around to that one.

    My requirements were a combination of smaller size (than the
    QV-4000), more zoom, faster startup and shutdown speeds,
    good optics, and no lens cap.

    If you need more than 3x zoom, it cuts down the choices
    quite a bit.

    So let us know what you need. Price? Zoom? Amount of
    features? Speed? Battery or memory type?

    Oh, and to establish us as on-topic, I'll mention how my new
    camera will be much easier to bring with me when I ride.

  7. So are you selling your camera? How much? I've done some
    research to, so I know most of what everything is. Your
    camera sounds good. Reply if you're selling.

    Thanks David
