Well guys i am coming into the camera world. I am going to be buying a camera over a printer. i have 400 bucks at max to spend. what is the best camera i can get for that? I perfer Fujifilm or Canon. but i need the photo experts opinions on what to buy.

Question: Do you want Digital or Film?

If digital, you are restricted by price to Point and Shoot cameras. There are many good makes but Canon and Nikon are still perhaps the best. Check out this site for reviews of cameras in your price range: www.dpreview.com.

If film, there must be a lot of great used SLRs avaialble for that price

Size? Do you want pocket-able? Or best picture possible? Photo and shoot? Zoom requirements? Megapixels? Lots of variables and lots of options.

oh lol sorry digital, best picture possible, best of everything else, i am not the knowing in of much in camera world. but i say $400 b/c that is what the printer was going to cost so if its more then that then its out of my pocket.

i would like to try and get a fuji b/c i have used them for flim and had excellent results. but what about digital?

what about these?
Kodak P850 5MP/12x Optical Digital Camera
Fuji FinePix 5.1MP Digital Camera - S5200
Olympus 6.0MP Digital Camera - SP-500UZ

thanks for the help i am comparing and making a list i will head out and go see these this weekend.

well what really makes me want that camera is the quick start up and shutter lag. 0.01 :shock: and the color is awesome. but i will hope that the package deal is there in about a month. i will have to showchase it when i get it.

again thanks for the help guys.

no idea what my shutter lag is; but my start up time is .2 of a second :)

really; you hardly notice shutter lag, unles syou are trying to take pictures of F1 cars... i cant tell you how many times i missed them driving by :lol:

shutter lag is the time from when you push down the button to the time it takes the picture. cheaper and older cameras have a massive lag. my mom's camera, no joke, the lag is like 1.5-2 seconds. so shooting anything in motion is a pain in the ass.
