Default Cameras

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

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.

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

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.

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?)
