Chris B Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Posted November 30, 2007 Wow again thank everybody, you all are knowledgeable about lots of stuff.. Anywho I have talked with a couple of guys at the plant where my day job is, and they have recommended the Fujifilm S700. And from what I have seen over at Fuji Film S700 Review And it seems like a good one, and yes I have checked out other models. But what do you all think of this one? Circuit City has them on sale right now for 198 bucks. It doesnt seem all that bad for the money. Thanks, Chris Quote
HorsehairBraider Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 Hey, I was wondering what you had decided so glad to see your post. That looks like a pretty good starter camera. From the review, it may not be the very best camera in the world but it is a pretty darn good buy for the money, and most of the issues with this camera are probably not going to bother you anyway. For example you are only going to notice that purple fringing in extreme shots, and then only if you are really fastidious about your pictures. *Most* people just aren't going to notice that. This camera has an awful lot of really nice features that more than make up for any slight downside. I bet this one is going to do everything you want it to, and that you will get many years of service from it - and you really can't beat the price. I found this link for you: http://www.abesofmaine.com/item.do?item=FJFPS700 where you can get it for about $182.00 with free shipping. I have bought from these people before and was very happy with their service. I bought my current camera from them and had it in 5 days. So if you can wait, you can save yourself a few dollars... maybe not a big deal but at this time of year, maybe it is. I hope you post pictures that you take with it! I'd like to see them.

TomSwede Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Congratulations to your new camera! I think that model will be a good aid in getting the most out of your pictures. I didn't read all replies in the thread but many of them and I didn't see anyone mention the photographers best friend No.1 - the tripod. An undisputible friend when taking pictures in poor lighting conditions and there are some cheap ones that will do just fine if your not going bushwacking with big telelenses.

Members hiloboy Posted December 10, 2007 Members Report Posted December 10, 2007 hi ,can anyone here give me some thoughts or what you may think about the Sony DSC-H9 . i'm thinking of getting one for use as my shop camera... Quote Aloha, Curt http://www.picturetrail.com/linecutter
HorsehairBraider Posted December 10, 2007 Report Posted December 10, 2007 Read this: http://www.steves-digicams.com/2007_reviews/sony_h9.html (Hint: on the last page of the review, he gives a sort of summing up of everything.) Just at a glance it looks great, I personally don't like cameras that use different types of batteries other than AA because those are readily available to me if I run out of power, but that may not matter at all to you. Everything else looks really cool - are you planning on shooting lots of action shots? Looks like it is perfect for that. Quote They say princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship.

Members firefly67 Posted December 10, 2007 Members Report Posted December 10, 2007 Hi, I've been using two Nikons, both in the 'Coolpix' line, and found them quite handy. Neither of them are new by now, but I got them to use for close-ups of my glass bead work (my main $ source) and they do fine for that kind of work as well as ordinary photo taking. I load my pix right on to my Mac and process them using Photoshop. I will try to attach a photo of my beginning leather works (close up) so you can see the quality of photos! Good luck finding a camera. There are scads of good ones. Quote
Members Darrell Posted December 10, 2007 Members Report Posted December 10, 2007 Wow,the plusses and minuses of digital photography. Steveb i blew up your excellent photos of your really nice work and saw you may need to increase your bobbin tension based on the shot of your nice 'flamed' wallet. IMHO!(kiddin' around) I used a great sony DSC W-1 with macro add on lens in the past and now shoot with a canon d-20 that I really love. Believe it or not Panasonics 'Lumix' lineup is a darn good camera for the buck as the utilize the 'Leica' line of lenses and tech. Some of the best glass for photography in the world. Quote
Members David Genadek Posted December 10, 2007 Members Report Posted December 10, 2007 I have a Nikon D70 and I love it. Here is a good resource for learning more about digital photography. The photoshop tutorials are awesome. David Genadek Quote
