Got a new camera!

[UNFLUX]

I got a new camera this past week, Nikon 880, and I am
COMPLETELY IN LOVE with it. Here's a few shots I took over the
weekend with it. Most are macros, but let me know what you
think -

your cat is sooooooooo cute. love the blue eyes.

[NaliWarCow]

Your cat is cute and it has 4 legs. Those are the best kinds of cats.

You should do a picture like Edwin. Take like 8 pictures close to where you live and then piece them together.

Unflux, that looks really great! :beam:

[Maxtr0sity]

Did you photoshop them? Or where they taken like that with special features in the camera?

I'm gonna buy a digital camera whilst I'm out in Malaysia - anyone got any advice one what's hot/what's not? good camera-makers/ones to avoid. essential features to look for? :)

That depend on what you are looking for. If you only want a point-and-click thingy, or you want to experiment wiith it. Do you want to print your photos on let's say, 20 x 30 prints?

Do you really need a digital cam? Because digital is more expensive than film, but you can adjust your photos.

hm, I don't care about the look, I don't care about the size or anything about it, I just want to make good quality ~400x200px pictures (max 800x300px). What camera should I look for?

I have a photoquality inkjet.. and photopaper really isnt very expensive compared to getting normal film processed. I do want something that'll take high-quality shots (i'll be doing both printing and pc-related stuff with the photos - so yes, digital), but the smaller the actual camera, the better.

just so you know, I'm a student, so, it can't completely destroy the bank if possible :)

Lynx,

Could you give some more info? Because the way I look at it now, you don't need any digital camera.

Do remember that i advise, i will not look or search for you. You 'll have to do that.

Just remember Optical zoom is a lot better than digital zoom. Other than that Fuji, Cannon, Minolta, Kodak, and Olympis are good brands. If you are buying it over seas you may want to make sure the warrenty is good in the UK. I know camera stuff made for southeast Asia does not have a US warrenty most of the time. Just make sure you won't get burned if something goes wrong.

Although I am gonna stick to my film camera for now... I have yet to see a digital camera for a resonable price that can take pics like my SLR can. =)

Cheers!

thanks for the info :) (and yeah, i've got some experience of buying outside the UK, so I'll definitely look into all the extras etc! :))

Hehe,

I would recon a 4 - 5 mp cam for you. you can make good printout with 2 mp cams, but to be on the save side go for 3-4 mp. And a digital cam is more expensive than a film one. ;)

Because you don't want any fancy macro modes, night shot, long exposure, etc. you need to throw that away: the more silly functions a cam has, the more expensive it will be.

I'm not saying that (other) functions are a no-no, but you certainly don't want any additional stuff that you don't use.

Look around for something that has (at least) 3x optical zoom. The optical zoom is the real zoom the lens has, don't look at the digital zoom. You can do that on the computer.



For all future cam owners, look at http://www.dpreview.com/ You can read owner opinions (if the lcd is easely scratched, if the glass lens has good quality, if it handels allright, etc), has a great list of cams and it's features and you can lay them side-by-syde for comparison.

And don't be afraid to step in a photo shop ( not your average wall-mart digital section) and ask questions. They are proffesionals (unlike me) and can give you more advice than I ever will.

Well, I need the camera to take pics for my site, but I think that my dad has a digital camera in his office, so I'll ask him if he can lend it to me :)

I love my camera. Make movies all the time.

[turkey]

I bought my dad a powershot a70 for fathers day and killed two birds with one stone :) He said he needed a digital camera and I'll use it for my site. I haven't figured all the manual stuff out yet, though...

[Niann]

Well... Considering my SLR+Lens(es)+Filters was about $1000.00(US) Then around that would be reasonable, if I get a 300mm lens with the deal. :)

Cheers!
