Digital Cameras (1 Viewer)

[Gavvvvvin]

Ok I want to buy a digital camera but I dont know nothing about that stuff. What I really wanna know is how much do these things cost? Can I get one for under $200? What quality pictures do the low - end ones produce? Where do I even buy one from? =P

 

[RCMasterAA]

Low end ones are 2mega pixel usually and with 100 and something dollars you'll get one of those. The 3mega pixel and above are like $300+
And where to buy one? Dick Smith Powerhouse, Harvey Norman, Domayne, etc

yeah at ALDI
but u get what u pay for

 

[dark`secrets]

practically get it anywhere

hmm.. i rekon a 2mp is fine to use.
you can get a sony cybershot one for like <$300

higher the Mp means morespecific and detailed the pictures are. i only use like 3.1 mp on my camera.

2mp isn't really enough if you want to print pictures any bigger than a post card.

but for things on the web 2mp is enough.

Remember, mp isn't everything, i suggest you read up reviews of the camera you want to buy, many cheap cameras have lighting and colour problems.

yep that's exactly what you should be considering when buying a digital camera!

stay away from sony

canon, pentax, maybe panasonic are the ones which you should be looking at
oh yeh
there was a hewlette packade (sp?) camera on sale at office works
it was originally 200, sale for 150
but then HP is also offering a cash back of 50 making the camera at half price 100! BARGAIN!

{Don't quote me on prices, i'm just going from the top of my head of something i read but it was a pure bargain for an alright camera}

not sure if the offer is still available

well if u wanna go crazy then get the same brand printer and digi cam.... but realli.. as long as the printer can take a card and has like one of those cool screen thingys then it shouldnt matter... personally i recommend digi cams from nikon and olympus... *sigh* soo cool... printer wise... umm i guess canon makes pretti good printers for the price and runnig cost.... hp is good... epson is expensive in the long run i think... but yea

 

[soul_guardian]

well, if u want pics to be the same size as a normal photo, then u would want about 3.2 megapixel - thatz for pretty clear shots. The prices 4 digital cams have come down now and u can get em for pretty cheap, prob < 250 for a decent quality one. If u wanna go to the next step u can get a printer dock as well, even though ur home printer should do all right provided u get some photo paper. I here there offering a kodak 3.1mp cam and printer dock for like $400. Might ewant to check it out

So are you guys saying that I should only get an expensive camera if I want to print out my photos? Because I dont want to print them out I just wanna fool around with them in graphics programs . . .

If you just wanna keep them on the comp, a 3.2mp camera should do you fine.

 

[soul_guardian]

if its just 4 like websites and stuff, a 2mp will do u fine. Basically, the larger the mp, the larger the pic.

Though most 2mp cameras give not-so-good quality pics.

 

[dark`secrets]

larger the mp the better the quality

im going to ask someone to buy me a digital camera for my 18th.

so the only thing that matters about a good digital camera is the megapixels?
what about battery life..how long is good

 

[RCMasterAA]

Most of the 2-4 mp cameras just use double As or rechargeable batteries and unless you're keeping it on for ages without going home once in a while to charge it, I wouldn't worry too much about battery life.
But shh, don't say that the only thing that matters is megapixels cause you'll incur the wrath of the board camera gods who'll wreak vengeance by correcting you.
Generally, the most important thing about a digital camera is the megapixels, after all, that's what companies love to advertise first.

 

[dark`secrets]

canon camera uses those rechargeable ones (flat types).
