Which Camera Y'all got

got2hunt · Nov 20, 2005

seems like every time I turn around someone wants to know what kind of camera the other has, so why not just make a thread.......

Well I got the Canon EOS Rebel xt and I love it just havent gotten the pictures I need to win another contest......

I was a gnat's ass away from purchasing the Digital Rebel the other day from Dell. Between the great deal Dell was offering coupled with the rebates Canon had it was a bargain. The only reason I was considering it was because I was having problems with my Sony F707. I convinced myself after taking apart my cam and troubleshooting the problem that it just isn't time yet to get rid of the camera...it still has life and is working like a champ now. I have two conversion lenses (tele & wide angle) I use with my Sony.

Rumor has it Canon will be out with more rebates in Jan. Who knows, maybe by then I could use the XT or 20D. Another contender I am looking at is the Nikon D200. Time will tell.

Sony F707
Purchased new about 3+ years ago for $1K
Can purchase from Ebay now about $350 - $400
5 megapixel
5x optical zoom (38mm - 190mm)
Carl Zeiss Glass

A pic from the cam and of the cam...

Here is the Canon Digital Rebel 350 XT

The 5D

And finally the Nikon D200

Panasonic FZ-10.

I think I paid ~$500 year and half ago

4 Meg Pix

12x optical zoom/36x digital

AZ402 · Nov 21, 2005

Panasonic DMC-FZ5.

Price around $400-450

5 Meg Pix

12x optical zoom (432MM)

I like it a lot, I do need to sit down a read the manual. There is a ton of crap on there.

Wyodeerhunter · Nov 21, 2005

I have a Canon Digital EOS Rebel X, a Panasonic FZ-10, and a Nikon D50

TheTone · Nov 21, 2005

Nikon 5400

Not sure what the price was, it was a college graduation present

5.1 megapixel if I remeber right, 4x opitical zoom and 4x digital zoom
I personally really like this camera, its not too big, very user friendly and will take better pictures than I can. I don't believe Nikon is making this model anymore though.

I got a FUJI, I bought about 4 years ago for $300. I ain smart enuff or rich enuff to use them big fancy cameras.

csutton7 · Nov 23, 2005

got a sony cybershot dsc70 I bought 5 yrs ago-- 3x optical zoom--not a bad camera----don't remember price, but it weren't cheap back then--3.3 mega

last yr after my Idaho hike I bought the Konica Minolta Z3 Dimage off of ebay($300 +/-)--12x optical zoom- 4.0 mega-- anti-shake feature---I bought it mostly for the zoom and anti-shake---I need to use it more to give a honest report--I've taken about 10 pics with it--5 here in my dungeon and 5 or so during my Idaho hike--Idaho hike pics=not good(my fault probably and dungeon pics are just ok)--screen is too small for me now a days --I guess I've hit the reading glass stage--I think it's a good camera, but if you need reading glasses I'd choose another as small screen = small print --seems also it's hard to see the pics after you take them--now this was a used camera so I may have got taken a little--not sure though--I think it's more operator error

my brother has a sony like the F707--'ell it may be that one--takes great pics--was expensive when he bought it

I want big zoom, easy to read(maybe I should get some reading glasses and keep them with me during the hunt-that sucks), fairly compact and with out breaking the bank(may have to forego bank breaking)---chris

Lumix (Panasonic) DMC FX7 with Lieca lense

Paid $250 I think.
5MP plus movie clips w/sound limited only by storage. Granted they are low quality, but still pretty cool.
3x zoom with 4x digital and optical stabilization
2.5" screen
Smaller than a deck of cards!

The only down side to this camera is it has no view finder, consequently by using the screen you use up battery juice, and it takes special battery packs. You can get about 50 pictures and reviewing and what not per battery however. I bought some after market batteries for $15 and haven't had a problem with running out of battery life in a day of taking pictures with three batteries, the charger will charge them in about an hour. My next one will be a FZ20 or something of the like. But for close range this camera does everything I could ask for it to do and takes fantastic pictures. On our trip to Africa last summer we took along a Minolta SLR with various lenses and took about 150 pictures with it as well as about 400 with the digital. There was very few film pictures that turned out even close to the quality of the Lumix's when printed! I was taking pictures through my binoculars plus 3x zoom on the camera and had surprisingly good results. The thing that I really like is the small size. You can slip it in your pocket and not even know its there, and you have all the power of a big point and shoot and much more at half or less the size.

I'm looking into the sony cybershot dsc h1 right now and may buy it--

5.1 mega pix
12x optical zoom
2.5" lcd
AA batteries

almost everything I want, but I may play with this Dimage a little more and see if I can come to terms with it--chris

Wyodeerhunter · Nov 27, 2005

I think another key factore with digital now is being able to fix problems with your pictures. There are some really great image editing programs out there that will greatly help your pictures. Here is an example of a pic bambi posted earlier:

And with about 5 secs of editing......

that way if you don't quite get something right in the field you can fix it at home. THAT is why I like digital.

I personally like the origial giraff over the "photo shop" version. The PS version is washed out and very yellow. The original pictures as percieved by my eyes are about as close to the original colors as you can get. I'm still amazed at the quality of pictures that camera takes. My PH had a nikon somehing wiz bang or nother and my little camera that cost a quarter of the price took easliy twice as good of pictures.. IMO
