abstractrhythm Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 A couple of weeks ago I purchased the Sony DSC-P10. For $520.00 i got the camera, extra 3 year warranty, extra long battery, mini-tripod, carrying case, camera cleaner, extra 120 MB memory chip, and a Usb Memory stick reader. Without the extra warranty it would be $420.00+tax.So far it works great. I got it shipped to me 3 days after i ordered it. It was the best deal i could find.At Best Buy they sold the camera alone for $399.00 without all the extras. Try ebay, type in "Sony DSC-P10" and look for sunshine electronics. Hope that helps.

pod Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 pod's digicams 101:You probably want a nice point and shoot with a bit of manual control. Aim for Canon's A or G series digital compacts. Sony cams are alright, but the sensors are a bit noisy. Tiny sensors on point and shoots are generally noisy anyway, but the Sony sensors are a bit noisier. Canon's new DIGIC algorithims compensate for it.Of course, the only real way to do without noise is get a large sensor, but that is only available on digital SLRs like my 10D, the 1Ds, or the 1D MkII. Before I go any further, what is your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macboy Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 As pod said to me a couple weeks back, as we were talking about a certain papparazzi, if you don't know what the hell you're doing, the best camera in the world is wasted on you. Just get a Canon point and shoot. My whole family has them. They are extremely reliable and take great shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintjohn Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 i also suggest canon. i've got an older s20 and a d10 on the way (i'm waiting for the fedex truck now). for ultra and wmc, one of the current canon point-and-shoot models would be ideal. wolf camera usually has a pretty good selection and decent prices, too.

Orisha Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 all you really need is about a 2.5 megapixel w/ at least 3x optical zoom. That shouldn't run you more than $250, but look for deals (too bad sunday passed). I picked up a Panasonic DMC-LC33 at Office Max, it has all that, and films video w/ sound too. You'll need to get rechargeable batteries, a few sets so you'll never run out of battery life while out clubbing. Get a 128 mb memory card, and that should at least get you started...good luck Kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats. I got one a couple of months ago for 385.I was really surprised with the battery, it lasts a long time.Also, play around with the ISO settings for night shots, and turn the flash off when photoing close ups in daylight. It will want to flash, but if you turn it off the natural light will be nicer.I love this camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
