Cameras

[Law & Order]

What type of cameras do you use? Are they any good, and how much did they cost?

[ryan]

Canon. B&H.

I use a Sony Cybershot, it does alright, Its just a 5MP.

[Jimbo Holland]

i use always my Olympus D560, 3.2 mp, it was 230 euro, so 200 dollar. i want now a canon d300

[krulltime]

I used Canon Power Shot S60

I use an Olympus D-565 (4MP) and in accordance with night photography I use a Digital Concepts tripod. Both work well, although not exceptionally, for my purposes they work so well that I do not see myself updating for years to come. I bought my camera several years ago, I think for $300 and a printer was included with it. Today you should be able to get the same or comprable camera for much less. Here’s some recent photos I took with my baby, I don’t photograph as much as I used to when I had a website to put them, I lost my dream weaver when my old computer crashed.

2.0 MP FujiFilm something. I don't really pay much attention to it. I might be getting a 3.2 MP soon.

[WizardOfOss]

Nikon D70 (6.1 MP) with 18-70mm and 70-300mm lenses. It just had it's first test during a trip to Paris a couple of weeks ago, the real test will be in about 4 weeks, in NYC

Maybe I'll change my stance on not updating for years to come.

You can't attach zoom lenses, it can't zoom in, the pictures it takes makes everything look much farther, so it is hard to see detail sometimes. Its not just the camera, I need good film.

Are there any good film brands that anyone knows that take good pictures? Does anyone know a good spot to develop alot of film in Manhattan, for a good price? Or are the Wallgreens and places like that actually good. Which I doubt.

I thought you didn't live in Manhattan? So why buy in Manhattan? It will be cheaper to buy elsewhere.

Good. But if you're looking to purchase a camera you'll probably find a cheaper one outside Manhattan. And NEVER EVER buy one from the small camera shops you see all over TXSQ and Manhattan.

That's what they say. I've been to B&H and you can get better deals in the burbs.

[Ninjahedge]

Nope.

All depends on what burb you are in and what shop.

You can also get them MUCH cheaper online, but you have to be more careful about Grey Market or Foreign products (japanese manual anyone?)
