mike-al · 01-22-2008, 08:37 PM

Wifey wants a new camera to take pics of the kids and all that crap...
So looking for recommendations, on a nice quality family digital cam for the buck.

Nothing too expensive please, itll probably spend most of its time in the closet after the first month lol.. And not too incredibly large, although doesnt have to be small, just dont want it to be a hassle when we go out..

Fire away and Thanks

Fat Panda · 01-22-2008, 08:41 PM

just make sure it fits in her purse...then she will use it

tony286 · 01-22-2008, 08:42 PM

nikon d40 is nice and takes great pics. Easy, small and good pictures cant go wrong with kodak.

jakethedog · 01-22-2008, 08:54 PM

I am and have been a Sony guy from my introduction into this biz .. pretty much everything we shoot video and pix on .. capturing and playback .. even toys ..
I have bought the wife 3 little purse camera's over the last year or so .. (mostly because they were lost or dropped) but they have all been little sony's .. and this last little one is a screaming deal .. takes great video ( for facebook) .. easy as hell to use and great battery life ..

Canon has a nice array of very affordable point and shoot digital cameras, and if you don't mind spending $450, you can get a very decent quality Rebel XT, 8 megapixel camera through B and H Photo and Video, and you don't have to pay for sales tax (unless you are in NY).

Agreed. I actually shoot with a Canon, but for a nice little point and shoot camera, Sony has some awesome ones. That same camera you posted is the same one my friend just got, and I was actually surprised at how well the photos came out. Definitely a good recommendation.

Catalyst · 01-22-2008, 09:24 PM

I used to have a sony point and shoot and it was great.. it was a bit slow sometimes.. but then again.. i think the color was better than the canon point and shot

aztecboi2003 · 01-22-2008, 09:27 PM

Can't go wrong with Canon, it's all I use.

Stick with Old School. Wet Plate photography is where it's at.

rowan · 01-22-2008, 09:33 PM

The latest Sony Ericsson K850i phone has a 5MP camera with true flash and 30fps video recording. It's not quite there yet in terms of quality, but it won't be long before there's some serious competition against a separate point&shoot camera.

The downside is that it's unlikely they'll be able to squeeze comparable optical zoom into a phone, or if they do it will be very limited.

mike-al · 01-22-2008, 09:37 PM

any thoughts on the cybershot t70? compared to this w80

I tease Mike South,I say when you started shooting porn did the hotels get pissed over the gun powder flashes. lol

mike-al · 01-22-2008, 10:58 PM

noone knows about the T70? its about $70 more than the w80 lol

perfectodollars-gabrio · 01-23-2008, 04:27 AM

i can suggest the casio exlim if you dont want a DSLR

buzzy · 01-23-2008, 04:45 AM

Sony cybershot T200. It's better than thw w80 and it fits anywhere.

I want a DSLR, i just dont think I want to spend $600 on a camera
and since $600 is the entry price into DSLR, i mean really what am I getting?

pornask · 01-23-2008, 09:23 AM

Sony has a long way to go before their cameras are worth a fart in water. If cute design is what matters and you don't mind shitty picture quality, then Sony is right for you. And that is when picture conditions are perfect. In less than perfect conditions (about 92% of the time), Sony is beyond crappy.

florin · 01-23-2008, 10:26 AM

hotshot photographers... i had no idea there was something like that around...new specie, hmmmmmm.....(_:

bobby666 · 01-23-2008, 11:21 AM

ma favourite is my polaroid sx 70

mike-al · 01-23-2008, 12:04 PM

I see now, the aperature on that one i post is higher, not a 2.8 i'd probably want.... that will let me get those cool in close pictures with the
background faded out.. Also this camera obviously no dial, touch screen which seems cool but in the long wrong wastes alot of time fidgeting around...
The plus side is the 3" screen, i very much like the w90 now, (i guess a step up from the w80 posted above) but has smaller screen, and no slide on/off feature, that lens kinda pops out...

Know what i want now, just more confused

mike-al · 01-23-2008, 12:17 PM

Ok, question about SLR if I might ask...

Ok SLR is hinged mirrors or whatever, so it allows you to see what the lens is actually looking at, this allows you to see what exactly is being captured by the film or digital data system..

Seems cool n all, but I was reading that article above and it says that I NEED
A SLR camera to capture moments say like kids playing sports or in plays etc.

Wtf does mirrors have to do with motion captures? Wouldnt that have to do with stability and shutter speeds?

JP-pornshooter · 01-23-2008, 12:19 PM

why SLR ? they are kinda bulky to log around and typically not very practical.
if just candids i would just get a casio point and shoot like the exlim, it has very little lag time.. and it fits in a shirt pocket or purse.

mike-al · 01-23-2008, 12:23 PM

probably not going to get SLR, just was curious as it seemed like someone was talking bs to get commission sales in that wife.htm above

Ketchup · 01-23-2008, 12:52 PM

Get a Canon SD1000 it's perfect for what you need it for

Ken Rockwell is probably one of the biggest, mysoginistic arseholes ever to walk this planet and call himself a photographer.

If you read his article, you'll know what I mean. His approach to women seems to be: They don't understand anything except how to clean the kitchen.

Or, try this article on for size:
http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/digi...-my-tripod.htm

At the end of the day, I think a compact would be great for your wife.
Nikon, Sony and Casio make great compact models. They're easy to slip into the purse or pocket, and contrary to what the URL above said - they actually will take *better* photos off the bat than a DSRL, simply because they automagically tweak colour, contrast, balance, etc, which a DSLR won't do automatically.
