Need Camera Advice...

[SlamaJama]

First the photos u all have been taking has just been awsome, i mean the shots that masterswimmer took were just IMHO award winning.
I would like to purchase a camera so that I can shoot my livestock as well.
I don't want to spend more than $250-$300...

check out the kodak camers there more expensive ones. theres a really nice slim black one that takes awesome macro shots. also there a slim black panasonic that i borrowed from a friend to take macros it came out awesome....

Or even better....

Slickdeals!!! usually has at least one high end camera a week for cheap! Usually at least one canon in the midrange also.

Mike, all my pics are taken with a Kodak Easyshare CX6330

here on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/KODAK-CX6330-3-1-MP_W0QQitemZ7583745982QQcategoryZ30007QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

You can get an SD card for cheap to increase the amount of shots.

I had the A80, great camera. I believe the A95 succeeded it. Here's another decent review site:

hey slama, are you thinking about just using the cam for taking pix of your tank or for going out and stuff too?

 

[MPISCIOTTI]

i ald have been looking for a digital since i broke my other one what an ass i am. best buy had some nice ones so does costco

 

[SlamaJama]

wat is the difference between 1cm macro mode and 5 cm macro mode? also 25 cm tele?

 

[bad coffee]

Most likely it's minium focus distance. for the one cm one you can focus on things 1 cm away. for the 5mm you need to be that far away. and on telephoto, you have to be 25cm. (almost a foot away)

Hmm I see people recommend the Canon SD400. WHat about the SD450?? That's the one that I am looking at right now.. Is it better than the SD400?? I know the SD450 replace the SD400.

thxs bret, im making a decision on the canon a95 so it was good info to kno

froggie...i guess mostly my tank, i have 2 other diggy's, a really cheap 1 and a kodak c315, which is not much good for anything other than shooting round town...

 

[zahner]

i bought the SD500 recently, pretty happy with it so far. definitely get a 1 gig or bigger memory card.

 

[Barnacle_Blenny]

noooo don't get the a95 they just released a new one to replace it the canon A610 or for $100 more the 7 mega pixel A620 it has a 1cm MACRO and 8 white balance templates
