Cheap/good digi camera?
To make pix and so it will not cost too much? Not a pro one, just simple boxy that makes the job.
I saw today they sell some Olympics from price 100 Euro to 450. The cheapest ones ofcourse are not good, but what camera you use? Can you post pix you made with it to see quality and a pic of camera so I can see it?(just take a pic of it in the mirror :wink:) Thanx in advance :wink: |
the first question I should ask you is what you will be using this camera for.
|
making pix :mrgreen:
just normal using from family to cars shooting |
We would need some more info..
For 100 Euro sorry but you can't buy a "good" camera.. just a "cheap" one... Chep out www.dpreview.com for some good reviews and start looking around. Important is to have at least 4 MP IMO today... would be "stupid" to buy a 2 MP.. then, do you want a big one or an ultraslim one? Zoom (digi zoom only is crap)? I own a Canon Powershot Pro 1 myself, 8 MP, 7x optical zoom... http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonpro1/ it's good but not cheap. and if you want a compact one, forget such models ;) Sadly I never keep the original files, but here are some sample of the quality just in case (max res you can have with an 8 MP camera is 3200+ pixels wide).. the biggest one is the Gallardo one, at 2200 pixels wide, and not shoot at the highres quality possible... But I guess you are searching for something more "simple". Sadly in the good/economic field there are MANY good options and it's even harder to choose. but definitely, read around dpreview.com a lot! Click them for bigger 2272x1704 http://www.terahertzcomputing.com/uploads/Img_0476s.jpg 1600x1200 http://www.terahertzcomputing.com/uploads/lake1bigs.jpg 1600x1200 http://www.terahertzcomputing.com/uploads/murci05s.jpg |
Thanx Matteo, that was kind of site was looking for :wink:
What all those pixels means and from what pixels limit it is a good camera? and "senzor photo detectors" :? whats that good for? Great pix Matteo, new desctop for my PC :mrgreen: |

But anyways, your best bet is to look into some reviews and invest into a camera that will fit all your needs and budget. But consider a high end camera also. Another thing, you should possibly order a camera online since it is cheaper than buying one instores. |
shit your camera costs more that 1000€ here!!!! :shock: no wonder those pix are so great :lol:
|
Yep it was hard to buy it... but the positive thing is that I will go on using it for many years.. my previous one, an Olympus C-3000 3.3 MP served me for a LONG time :D
MP basically let you know how many pixels the camera can "create". it's basically heightxwidth. a 3.3 MP can go up to 2048 pixels wide pictures. And as said an 8 MP shoot at 3200+ this also mean less zoom needed in some cases because the pic is bigger and you can crop out the needed part for instance. There is no "min MP" concept, but to buy a 3 MP or less when the max is around 8 for amateurish cameras is like buying say a 1.5 GHZ processor when 3 GHZ+ are around. It's always better to spend some more and have something "better" that will still be good after a longer period of time ;) |
I got it, so camera wait till me have more money :mrgreen: :cry:
|
TT I also figured out why you cant upgrade your computer. all your money goes into your digital camera. :D

This is one of the reasons the Kodak DX6490 (or current equivalent) is a "good buy" to enter the DigiCam world.
4MP, 10x Optical zoom - and a bunch of other crap. Oh, and the camera has enough bulk to it to giveyou something to hold onto - helping reduce camera shake. http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQueri...e=en_US#block1 And at $399.00 is not going to break the bank. |
Perhaps this will help.
http://yahoo.pcworld.com/yahoo/artic...,116582,00.asp Supposely top 10 current digital cameras as of right now. They also have great prices from various online stores. check it out for yourself. |

btw thanks 4 the help |
Quality of image is dependant on number of pixels in the image.
So - an image that is 3800 pixels wide is higher detail that the same picture 1200 pixels wide. |
who'da thunk it !

Armans,
Bought myself a Canon A70 some 10 weeks ago and I'm really pleased with it. Parked some of the pics I took here: http://img2.photobucket.com/albums/v...rsinGroomlake/ It is a 3.2 megapixel cam, dead easy to handle with a CF memory cards (16Mb standard) and simple penlight batteries for power (got myself 2 sets 2100 mAh NiMH rechargeables) Paid EUR 230.00 (imcl VAT) for the A70. |
About quality, yes, bigger means better someway :D if you want to print an image shoot at 1600 and one shoot at 3200 wide, I'm sure you will spot the difference. And usually when you resize down a BIG image for the net, the result is better if the image was big. Then of course in most cameras you have also some "quality" setting. I shoot all my pics in "good" not "super good" because this way my 256 MB mem card can handle around 120 pics ;)

personally, sony ones are extremely good value and very reliable from what i've found
|
I just recently bought myself a Fuji Finepix A607 for $AU 349 (~EUR 204), which has a 3.1MP CCD and 3x optical zoom. However, Fuji uses something it calls a Super CCD and therefore effectively increases the number of MP to around 6 (thats what they say anyway :?). On the highest setting pics are taken in 2816x2120 resolution. The camera is more than good enough for my needs, which are basically just everyday photos (family, scenery) and of course cars.
These are two pics I took with it on the second highest quality setting: http://img66.exs.cx/img66/9880/perth1.th.jpg http://img66.exs.cx/img66/5673/sl55close.th.jpg |
i got Canon A80 since x-mas
the quality of the picture is pretty damn good IMO and it features full manual mode.. i think most camera now featuer full manual mode Canon has good camera http://img69.exs.cx/img69/8311/IMG_4012.th.jpg |
