Need Camera Suggestions from the Experts
I need to get some recommendations for a really good camera. We've got a few international trips coming up and would like to have a high quality camera to finally take some nice pictures. (The old Coolpix just isn't going to cut it) If it has the ability to take some short movie clips..that would be great too.
Thanks for your help! |
Nikon d90 is a good place to start off imo if you are looking for an upper entry level dslr. :2 cents:

Hey, go visit http://www.canon.com/eos-d/ and consider the 500d as a sweet tool for anyone starting out, shoots 10 mp and true HD video, around a grand. The little canon handheld jobbies have some great features as well for around $200. Depends what route you want to go.

I've got two of the smaller little cameras. They're not bad for convenience, but they've been so-so on the quality front. Want to have something that will take more in depth architectural pictures as well and as the ability to take pictures of animals (photo safari in south africa later this year) |
you are going at it the wrong way
you need a video camera that can also take some pics, memories are best on video get a HD small cam that stores its content on a hard drive you can always grab photos off it, why have still image memories of stuff? |

I've not looked at those old tapes in decades. I just find still pics much quicker and easier to look back at. I'd say if possible, shoot both...but I'd put most emphasis on photos. |

Like you, the pictures are what I look at. I've got some amazing video footage from Alaska, and only looked at it twice since the trip back in 2005. (of course, it would have been nice to know that the video camera I bought didn't have the capability of computer download.) But the pictures are on my computer and I go back and look at them from time to time. Plus, I use the pictures for some of my sites. :winkwink: |

Photos evoke memories differently than videos do. I wouldn't ever replace a photo cam with one that was intended for vids. Look at the Nikon and Canon range from $1000-2500. If you are comfortable with interchangable lenses, go for it. Otherwise, get a simple one like a Canon Rebel. Good pictures are due mostly to the person behind the camera, not because of the camera. |

The new Canon Digital Rebel looks amazing, shoots 1080p video apparently!

so this leaves you with 2 options 1. dsl + video camera 2. cheaper camera with video capture option There's new Nikon D5000 that is dslr and has video capture, but I really didn't had chance to test it so I can't really recommend you that... |
