Title: Time for a new camera
Post by: Meatwad on July 13, 2007, 11:31:49 AM

Meatwad needs a new camera.


I currently have a Samsung Digimax 200, 2.1 MP (6 yiears old)

I prefer something towards an amateur professional type camera that you can change the lens on. I seen an Canon EOS type camera that looks interesting, but with those types of cameras I cant tell one from another.

Would like one that does time-lapse photography for taking pictures of fireworks/lightning/etc.

I dont want to break the bank, but also no cheap POS. I really would not want to spend over $300 since I seen some nice ones in the 250 area.

Taking the missus out to dinner tonight and see if I can butter her up to let me buy an expensive camera :D

So... you want to buy a camera with interchangeable lenses that costs less than $300.

I think you might find a Nikon D40 for that.


Of course... the lenses will cost extra. ;)

I did see a lens for that Canon that was about $175

Maybe one that just has a decent zoom capability that can also do time-lapse photography for taking pictures of fireworks/lightning/etc. Interchangeable lenses not needed
