Anyone know digital cameras?

Postby Lyion » Thu Jul 21, 2005 2:37 pm

Any suggestions or recommendations? I had a Kodak DX6490 before and it worked nice, but I'm looking for something new and a bit nicer.

I'm good with throwing a few hundred bones, but not a few Ks.

Fuji has a nice new lineup. The Z1's are awesome. You can get them for about 289-329'ish. 5.1 megapixel, and 30fps 640x480 in video mode.

This is what I ended up getting for $550 with a warranty.
From what I read review wise it's a pretty good setup.

Small cameras suck.
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.
