What is good? What are the prices? What is the best bang for you buck?

Still and Videos..

For pics, the Canon 20D.

No idea for vids.

For vid I think the Sony vx-series kicks ass:glugglug

a nikon d100 or d70 is good:thumbsup

i second that - have it since a week now. :thumbsup

let's say it's just for pictures that are going to be on a website and one doesnt need to do overkill... i dont need 800meg jpg files, i wouldnt want them over 175k...

also, i'd like info on video cams...

best bang for your buck...

I have the D70, you can do tons with this unit. I just checked ebay and there is a couple for 1000 bucks and comes with 2 lens.

One guy on there is selling his 3 month old D70 because its to much camera for him, the bid is at $950 right now:2 cents:

Canon 20D is the shiznit! Media approved.. I got to check out one.. I also got to check out Aarons 10D, it was badass too.. great cameras canon puts out..

For movies go with a sony or canon high end...

Konica Minolta Dimage A2 if you like it a bit smaller. has a great optical zoom and a nice anti-shake-mechanism.

and there are millions of video cams. like it cheap? buy a one-chip camera. like it better? look for a 3-chip model. mini-dv tape has still the best quality for small cameras, but the handling is more difficult than the ones with dvd burner. high-end would be something like Canon XM2 or Sony VX2100 - but if its just for internet clips you can also use a cam for 400 or 500 bucks. :2 cents:

I've been waiting for the konica minolta digital slr for the past few months and I'm getting it soon. I have good minolta lenses and that's one of the main reasons :glugglug

I just purchased a Sony VX-2100 for video (I also owna Canon XL-1), and I like using the Canon Digital Rebel for stills. There are other more expensive camera bodies by Canon and Nikon, but they are all pretty big and unnecessarilly heavy.

I have a
Konica Minolta Dimage XG

It's a 5mp tourist digital camera

Canon 20D and 10D :} Sony VX-2100 for vids - all kick ass...

For video get the Sony VX2100 if you you are doing run and gun type shooting. Most gonzo videos are shot with this camera which is good because often the camera guy is usually a total moron and has no clue about lighting. This camera is amazing in low light.

If you want a step up go with the Panasonic DVx100a The picture quality blows away the Sony but is not as good in full auto mode.

When you buy the Sony get a wide angle lens from Century Optics.

Sony VX 2001 for vids is what i use:thumbsup
and sony 828 for pics;)

Pix... stay simple... Canon Digital Rebel $1000 SLR if you are shooting for the web.

true.

if your criteria is "best bang for the buck" and the camera is for website use, this would be my pick.

very beautiful, vivid saturated color, and ok for low light.
