What camera do you guys use for these pictures thats everyones taking. all Im seeing is high resolutiong wallpaper size pips that are perfect pictures.

I NEED a camera that takes good pics that are capable of taking wallpaper size pics and still be pretty nice quality. Looking for a model name and maybe some example pics you took with that camera in a large size format.

If anyone is selling a digi cam and has some good "prove" pics or knows a good model that can be bought for cheap. Please PM me.

Thanks

 

whats your price range....that would help out alot

 

as cheap as possible for the best camera possible

Parents are going to be buying it for christmas and they said they wnt something quality cause there prob gonna use it to. I guess I can ask a price but since Im also getting an alarm for xmas I would try for anything under 130??? Dunno if a good camera can be found on ebay for 50-150. Looking for models names or known good camera's for cheap. Ebay is my friend

 

i would tell you to get a Sony DSC-V1 but the lowest price i found was $534. Its one hell of a camera if you ask me

sorry dont mean to sound like an ***...but cheap and good quality dont go together when you are talking about digi cameras.....i have one now that i consider at best "decent quality" and with everything i have as far as the camera and all of the accesories i have over 500 bucks in it.....its for sale now....

 

I'm using a Nikon Coolpix 4500.

I love it but honestly for a point and shoot it's a little complex, I used an Olympus D460z before and it was a lot more user-friendly. Obviously it was a few years older and a lot less advanced but I really liked Olympus' user interface and I'd assume it's pretty similar on newer models.

For $130ish you could probably find something new w/ around 2 megapixels and that'd be great for a starter camera. Stay w/ major brands, don't buy a Gateway, AOL, HP, etc. I'd consider Olympus, Nikon, Canon, Minolta, Fuji, Leica (or anything w/ a Leica lens I think some Panasonic and Kodak cameras are using Leica lenses). HTH

Edit: I don't know why I was even talking about Leicas, they aren't gonna be $130

&lt; Leica fan

Haha true, cameras are like cars, everyone likes different things.

*Cough Leica Cough*

 

I used to have a sh-tty hp 1.3M camera, that thing is 60 buck off ebay so i cant complain, i upgrade to a 4.0m fujifilm camera, i bought it in asia, around 270-300 usd

some 2.0 m will perform better than other 2.0m

 

My cam is 1.2 MP and I can take pictures just as good as some Nikkon users, its not necessairly the camera, but it helps..

 

lecia has nothing on a zeiss lense

I'm assuming your drooling over that new Sony w/ the Carl Zeiss lens? What is it like 8.3 mp?

just about all sonys now use zeiss lenses......but yes the new F828 is very sick.....might be the reason i am selling mine....who knows

 

My dad is trying to talk me into that over the EOS Digital Rebel, I really don't know that much my dad gives me a lot of advice

He used to do photography professionally, I can still remember drooling over his Canon F1 and T90

you gotta be a real baller to step up to the EOS......i cant....hell i could buy a new motor for the price of that thing.
i will stick to the F828 of the G5

 

The F828 is up around $800 or $900 right? The EOS is just $900 (body)

haha excatly.....and lenses are not cheap......i am sure i could take pics that come pretty close to the EOS with the F828......if i cant i can p/s to make them look nice

 

Ah yeah between the two cameras it'd come down to the photographer and/or his photoshop skills

i would say you would get decent quality.....dont expect alot....especually with daytime shots
IM me if you have any sony questions

 

If you're looking for a good affordable Sony digital camera, look at the DSC-S75. Lots of manual features and 3.2 MP. Should set you back about $300 for a used one.
