Digital cameras

Maynard · 10-19-2002, 10:35 PM

I want to compare a few cameras. Does anyone know where I can look to get user reviews and shit like that?

I'm ordering online, so I cant play with them, but I want to find out as much as possible about them first.

theres a thread around here somewhere about this. but you can try cnet.com i think they're the best place to compare electronics

epinions.com is very good as well

What camera did you buy? Weren't you the one who bought the new one awhile back?

Keyser Soze · 10-19-2002, 10:41 PM

i bought a Fuji FinePix 2800Z

6x optical zoom, 2.1 megapixels

its a nice camera, i'm glad i bought it, many of the recent shots on <a class="postlink" href="http://www.projectpseudo.com">http://www.projectpseudo.com</a> were taken with it (cept the recent brookwood pics)

I usually read through the reviews and user-reviews on Amazon

I usually find great, deatiled reviews here.

I think I've decided on a camera.

The Fuji FinePix S602. It's around $600.

Anyone else have any experience with this camera? All of the reviews say its a power and storage hog. But is that fairly normal with a camera? I know the little one's go forever, but is it normal for a better camera to do that?

I paid 500 for the Olympus c-3020, at Best Buy, back in May. I am very happy with it. Got a great review as well.

Not really...but power is something you can compensate for with a spare set of batteries, or if your camera has a port, a larger external power pack. A friend of mine has the Fuji digital SLR, and loves it. My wife has an olympus 4 megapixel, and her shots look great-almost as good as my 35mm scans from negatives (which top out at around 5 megapixels).

Let me know how you like it, as I am thinking of getting that Fuji digital SLR. It uses the same Nikkor lenses my 35mm system uses, and since I've invested a lot of cash on those, it's an important factor in my decision. And it's several hundred dollars cheaper than the Nikon digital.

Go get the Olympus cz-4040

sharp mini dv

this is the one that i have. i really like it, it's so simple to use, but it needs a flash bigtime.

olympuses suck because they take regular batteries.. go with a sony.. i went with the dsc-s75.. it is really good..

$600 !!! Holy Hell!

What does $100 get you? Pencil & paper?

LyricalGomez · 10-21-2002, 05:39 AM

I got a good one for 350 bucks and I'm more than happy with it....

When I was looking into buying, I went to a Canadian site called megapixel.net and was pretty impressed with the site. I'm pretty sure it's Canadian, anyhow, it had French and English sections.

I'm thinking of buying a new digital camera with my Christmas money. This is the one I'm looking at:

Olympus Camedia
Any input?
