Canon Digital Elph S400

I have owned this camera since 2002 and I love it. I am looking to purchase a SLR within the next 6 months. This camera has produced some great photos. I have traveled with it. In Africa it captured wonderful shots. In America it captured wonderful shots too. So I think that its a dynamite little pro. I wouldn't part with it if the aperture speed was faster, you simply can't get great photos fast enough. Nevertheless, it is the greatest for point and shoot. Takes pretty fair video snippets as well.
I am certain that I will by another Canon when I purchase my SLR.

by eftelyar - 11/23/07 6:19 AM In reply to: Digi Cam by Gemkeepurhave owned a Fuji 600 Zoom for a few years now. Prior to this, I owned an SLR.
The Fuji was a hot model when I bought it, but now very old. Generally speaking, a good camera that looks good too (SLR ish looks), but i've alway found it rather limiting. Perharps , i over-estimated it's capabilities. Some of my main gripes include slow response, non-generic battery and no camera raw file format, audioless video function. In some respects, it is out-gunned family member's Kodak C340. I plan to next buy a good range/performance DSLR and am currently looking.

Canon 20D. Fantastic camera. A great camera to start out with as a slr digital camera user. The only drawback for me is the small lcd screen (1.8). The newer Canons have a bigger lcd. Otherwise no problems and great pictures for the last year and a half.
Olympus Evolt 500

This is an affordable pro-sumer camera that is user friendly. The picture quality is excellent even with the standard lens in the "kit". There are more features in this model than other manufacturers higher end models..I have had this camera for a couple years and have taken some great pictures...good luck.

I use Olympus Evolt E-500 (8.0 Megapixel) which came as a starter kit with 14-45MM and a 40-150MM lenses. it is easy to use, simple to modify and allow you to change how to compose the pictures you take. The review screen at the back is large and informative. You can change camera settings like lighting, flash, white balance or scene while the lens cap is still on. The TTL view provides me with a better way to compose the pictures I take while providing basic/additional information on the right hand side. this camera may not be the best but, at CND $800 it was the best value I could found for all these featurs! I bought a 1GB UFS memory card and Lowepro cary bag for about $1000.

Sony DSC-P9 and Sony DSC-H9/b
by Homer Scarborough - 5/13/07 6:38 AM In reply to: What brand of digital camera do you own? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
I loved the photos from the P9, but just received the DSC-H9 this past week, and love the telephoto lens,sports setting and night shot feature. So far I am greatly satisfied with it, and the photos look great, but the P9 also did a good job considering its limitations of only 3x optical telephoto and 4 megapixels.
I have the DSC-h9 too
by jack6metal - 3/6/08 5:26 PM In reply to: Sony DSC-P9 and Sony DSC-H9/b by Homer Scarboroughi agree, amazing camera

Canon A75
by casaraku - 5/13/07 7:26 AM In reply to: What brand of digital camera do you own? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
great colours and lots of features... red is red,blue is blue....quality and price.... hope to move up to a dSLR when all the dust settles... even thought there is a lot of technology out there, most people i know do point and shoot e.g. baby, pets, vacations(sand and palm trees) and people. And when i talk to them before buying a camera, i believe they want to be artists i.e. B&W, macro, lighting, night, texture, and composition. And sales people promote a lot of features that most will never use....and how many RTFM of any new product they get?
Love my D70 (most of the time)
by Irelands child - 5/13/07 8:43 AM In reply to: What brand of digital camera do you own? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
The D70 can do what ever I want it to do and is a lot more capable then me. I don't use Nikon lenses except for the 55mm as they are too expensive for the little added quality that I as an amateur need. While I had been using Tamron lenses, am moving towards a changeover to some pro level Tokina's (who make some of the Nilkons anyhow.
My wife has an older Nikon Coolpix 3200 that takes great pictures.
We have also had an Olympus, now given to a daughter, which still works after 6-7 years and a Nikon 3100 (or 2). One was good until my wife dropped it and stuffed it full of mud. The second one was, for no better term, a POS.
In the SLR game prosumer or pro, either Nikon or Canon are the way to go with shelves of interchanegeable lenses.
In the point and shoot, thru the 'SLR like', most any of the "big" brands have a model that will work well and at prices that are competitive depending on the level of bells and whistles a person is comfortable with.
Kodak V550
by MMRudy - 5/13/07 10:14 AM In reply to: What brand of digital camera do you own? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
My carry around camera is a Kodak V550. It's light, versatile and has a useful "museum" setting.
My DH's camera is a dSLR--Nikon D70. Heavy but with the ability to shoot raw, adjust light balance, go "no flash", etc. it is great for art shoots. Just have to drag out the tripod to use it.
Our first digital camera, and still in the camera bag, is a Nikon Coolpix 995 with 4x optical and lots of features no longer found in small digicams.
Canon S100
by barrettjg - 5/13/07 10:25 AM In reply to: What brand of digital camera do you own? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
Old camera by todays standards, but fills my needs, takes excellent sharp images, does not use huge amounts of memory. Only problem is finding batteries that actually function. Was lucky enough to find brand new OEM on ebay, and that works great.
Olymps E series
by ldthomas - 5/13/07 10:34 AM In reply to: What brand of digital camera do you own? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
I have owned and used extensively for almost a year an Olympus E500. It would be hard to improve upon picture quality under most situations. It has stood up well under all conditions, and some pretty rough times. Olympus' reputation for high quality shows up in this model. LDT
