I want a new camera... and i need to know how much to save up for one...

Its currently a toss up between the Canon SD1000 and the Canon SD750

the 1000 is apparently a little older but its basically the exact same as the 750 the 750 has a few more features... and there is a 50 dollar price difference... not like that matters cause a fucking tank of gas cost 50... grr

what cameras do you guys have/recommend?

[TheUNZippee!]

In our house we have:

Canon Rebel XTi 10mp SLR

Canon Powershot 8mp W/10x optical zoom

Canon Powershot S5 IS 8mp W/12x optical zoom

All are amazing units.

The Rebel XTi SLR in a kit with an 18-55mm lens with IS is about 600-700 bucks.

The Powershot SX 100 my wife has is about 300-350 bucks.

The Powershot S5 IS I own is about 350-400 bucks.

All shoot amazing quality pictures, particularly the Rebel XTi.

i just bought the cannon power shot 560A, it was 150 plus 17 bucks for a 2 gig card and it is awesome. I love it and i didnt think i need a professional sd series, but like zip said the rebel is awesome my mom has the 35mm film version

It depends what you're looking for. If you want something good that you can snap a few pics on go w/ a rebel. However Nikon > Canon But only go with Nikon if you want an SLR digital. They have 2 SLRs in the $500-800

Nikon USA: D40x (body only)

That's the D40x

Nikon USA: D40 Kit

The D40

Nikon USA: D80 (body only)

The D80

Personally I used a D300 to do most of my work. (Nikon USA: D300 (body only) cause I know you want to look @ the sexiness Zip!)

What is your price range? Do you want an SLR digital? Are you interested in various lenses? What kind of photography do you want to do?

[TheUNZippee!]

Wow, the Nikon stuff is almost as sexeh as the Canon stuff is!

*gasp Zip* Don't make me put you over MY knee! Sheesh! I gotta talk some sense into you!

[TheUNZippee!]

Wow. You're feisty tonight. I think I'ma have to wrassle you to the ground later and teach you a thing or two, missy.

[Onemanzu]

if i wanted an SLR or anything like that i would get a pentax *ist ... but i don't i want a snap shot camera ... I believe i will go with the SD1000 just cause its kinda cheaper and still great quality... but i honestly don't know

[TheUNZippee!]

If I can make a suggestion, OMU:

If you wish to have a 'small' point and shoot digital, that's fine, and with todays sensors and processors, even a 'small' 7mp point and shoot will take amazing images.

But you won't be happy with 3x optical zoom. If you can find it and afford it, go for something with more optical zoom. And btw digital zoom doesn't count, so don't add that in. Optical zoom is what matters.

what exactly are you using it for? check out SkatePerception - Skateboarding's Premiere Online Technical Community. Now Offering Photo & Video Uploading and you can find camera reviews on almost everything...itll tell you whats good for low lighting,movement blah blah all that sheeeit.

[Phoenixx]

Wait do you know what an SLR is? An SLR isn't a snap shot kind camera... its the opposite of that

[TheUNZippee!]

It's a single lens reflex camera

[Onemanzu]

sorry... i used the wrong phrases... I don't want something over the top... I just want a decent camera ... look at the pictures im taking with a 3mp 3x zoom 4 year old camera... not half bad

[Onemanzu]

i didn't mean to use SLR in that way... sorry...

Ill get back to yall after a while ima go talk to my camera friend and then do some research

Ok. So upgrade to something with 6x optical zoom then.

[TheUNZippee!]

THIS one

THIS one

[Onemanzu]

I think i have narrowed it down to the S5 IS and the SD750 ... depends on how much money I can acquire in the next 2 months

[Kuro]

ive got the sd1000, and it kicks ass. get it

[Onemanzu]

SD750 is the same thing just newer and looks a little better

[JBIGBOOTSY]
