digital cameras

for those people putting pics in the gallary - what camera do you have?

at the moment I have a 35mm camera & then scan the negatives.. which as you see isn't the highest quailty way to do things. my camera ( minox gt-35) is now starting to leak light & missing frames:mad: which is annoying me. the last set are really bad.

so gingxric, mupsuit, scotsfiance?

Any digi camera will do, try to aim for at least 3 or 4 megapixels - this allows some headroom when editing the images. I've got a 3 year old Olympus mju410 - I'm happy with it.

[baboyako]

yup something like a that, or a finepix a400..?

The thing I like about my camera is its very small, light & discrete. I'm off to trawl ebay..

Photography is a hobby for me - so I have a Canon Digital SLR with several Canon interchangable lens - it is a heavy item to carry round and I often wish I had chosen a point and shoot model

This is an SLR......the auto focus zoom lens is only £1500 :cwm24:

I also have a Fuji S5000 which was done me proud until I bought the other one recently.

But i like this one and its features....cool:xxgrinning--00xx3:

I bought a 4meg Fuji S5500 which looks the same as the S5000 just before I went to the Phils the first time.

It takes great pics but it is a little bulky. I might buy a more pocket sized digi with more megs before I go out to the Phils next time.

over the years I accumulated a selection of cameras, and can't part with them... Some are right out the Jurassic park of photography by now...

I always used 35mm film. But a few years ago, on a trip to tenerife, I got tempted into buying a 2 meg Sony Cybershot. I still use it today after 4 1/2 years, a few months ago, before going on a second trip to Cebu, I bought an Aiptek DV 5700 video cam, as cheap as chips from Maplins.
It came really useful in recording the surprise on mahal ko face, when she saw me standing behind her....

Although I am now hooked on digital and the convenience of printing your pics, straight off the pc, I still carry the 35mm around with me, for that special shot.
I am looking at new piece of kit at the moment, and I am afraid I can only daydream about it. Mahal ko and our wedding in february 2007 come first.

Is that in CAFE LAGUNA in AYALA? how sweet :Erm: :BouncyHappy: and hey i can understand what they are talking about...:icon_lol:

[aromulus]

Yes, it was Cafe Laguna in Ayala, last may.
Mahal ko, didn't know that I was coming back so soon. So with some accomplices we arranged a little surprise...
Heheheheheh
It worked real well. It was pure amazement on her part...

hmn that doesn't sound very simple. :doh

mupsuit - SLR is far to heavy for me. Really all I want is a fixed focal length (non zoom).

looks like I can get the cameras I mentioned for 50quid a piece. maybe I'll get both :REGamblMoney01HL1::REGamblMoney01HL1::REGamblMoney01HL1:

[scotsfiancee]

Hahahahah,well im comparing to Keith and Mupsuit's digital camera...that's why i said i have simple one.:rolleyes:
What type of digital camera are you looking for?

[baboyako]

What type of digital camera are you looking for?

The MJU410, is a good all-rounder and if take a look at our website, 95% of the images were taken using the MJU. It is very compact, fits inside a pocket no problem. I think this model is discontinued, but there will be some on Ebay.

[scotsfiancee]

Try the latest samsung NV10 , -10.1 Megapixels, 3x Optical Zoom, Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR), “Smart Touch” User Interface, Large 2.5" TFT LCD, ISO 1000.. It's nice and small.... http://www.2gn.net/images/y1D35291.jpghttp://www.2gn.net/images/Kfe35349.jpg

I own Olympus mju-[mini-digital/Stylus verve digital]. Very compact, sleek design, impressive.

The Mju (µ) -mini DIGITAL from Olympus is a real showstopper. With a futuristic design and smooth contours, it is true to the Mju philosophy, by creating a perfect balance between design and technology. Its four million pixels deliver stunning picture quality, whilst a weather-proof* metal body is available in a choice of six striking colours (Silver, Pure White, Black, Crystal Blue, Velvet Red and Copper Orange), so you can select the one most in tune with your personality.

If you have a photographic memory you don't need to waste money on a camera......and if you want a print, you can paint it later!! :)
