Kyra Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Heya! ;) I'm after a fairly good digital camera but have no idea where to start! As most of you probably already noticed from my crappy photos of Kyra, that I'm currently using a mobile phone camera, how good am I :p :D Anyway, I can only afford around the $200-$250 mark at the moment so for all of you guys who know a bit about cameras, what are a few I should look into that are in my price range? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 It depends on what you are looking for from a camera. Most lower budget digital cameras (I've found) have a wee issue with low light or indoor shots - and just cramming more pixels into the tiny sensors doesn't help things in that area let me tell you! Last Christmas, I bought a couple of Canon Powershot A460's for my cousin's kids (at $138 each) - and they actually take very nice photos!!! They are 5 megapixel, with 3x optical zoom, and are touted as very good entry level cameras... I have a Canon Powershot S5 IS, and love it to death - but they retail somewhat out of the budget you have described above... errr! I wish I could afford an EOS and have the time to to learn how to use it... lol! T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyra Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Oh okay :D How much more over my budget is the camera you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I've seen the S5 IS go for between $525 and $650... and I paid more than that when I bought it about 8 months ago... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Fuji-FinePix-S3500-...3QQcmdZViewItem starting off very cheap!! The sellers percentage isn't great... but for a small amount of money, they may be ok. This camera takes good pics..have a look here www.redbubble.com/people/bushdrover/art this is my brother's page..he uses a finepix 3500 :D have fun looking!
