Its so hard to get good film for these digital cameras. The counter people all look at me like I am stupid. I hate them. :mad:

Went through many digitals, still have 1 or 2 around for casual pix....but to get the right shot, I've gone back to FILM....SLR w/Zoom Lens...get 'em processed on a CD with a set of prints...

Shueman, I don't know why I never thought of getting 35mm processed onto a CD and a set of prints. You just solved my camera problems...
I have an old Minolta X-700 with four lenses, and I love the camera. All of the reasonably priced digitals that I have seen feel to small in my paws.
I think I'll go put fresh batteries in the Minolta...

The way digital cameras seem to be made in the $600 and below range are...
You can either have good zoom and low megapixels, or high megapixels and poor zoom. As of late they have been stepping it up, but when I bought mine last year, it sucked. The Kodak DX series have 10x+optical, I can zoom half way across the lake and the megapixels are in the 4-6 range, which is sufficient.

We have the Kodak 7590 and really like the camera. Kodak is winning quite a few awards with the Schneider-Kreuznach lens that they have on their cameras. X10 optical zoom and X3 digital zoom. ALWAYS go for the optical zoom over the digital zoomKodak 7590 (http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml;jsessionid=CVVDBK4BSG0INFW4FBCXW D2W1YUEQ4L4?pq-path=2797&Submit.x=20&Submit.y=6&pq-locale=en_US&_requestid=31973)

Being an ex canon [ most innovative company that gave us infrared focus technology :wink: ] certified tech since the early 70's I should be bagging on Kodak products ,for the introduction of the kodak instamatic cameras :yuk: :D . However , they turned the right direction with digitals [ they lost hugely on film products lately ] including buying the best technology [ our company CREO :p ] for a meager $ 1 B . Their top of the line SLR digital [ 13.5 MP ] made by Nikon ,and the introduction of the german lenses will help them being the top player again in the consumer line . They beat sony recently , and the use of our 22.5 MP back for the pros with Hasselblad , Mamiya , Rollei etc ....won't be surpassed anytime soon. So folks , check Kodak's stocks closely in the future :)

This is one of the local outlet you'll find some good deals on the us/can exchange rate.

Save the money and buy a digital slr from the start.Any canon is good.You can find the digital rebel eos for about 6-700 now.I have one and it is a great camera.20ds are very nice but unless you plan on printing big pics on a high quality printer you wont see the difference.Cameras are only as good as the user..

Charger is right, don't over spend. I only have a small canon 520 now and happy with it. I use my old school Canon FTBn and scan the negatives for big pictures.
here's a short video I took with it 2 weeks ago at my buddy's place .

Personally, I have stayed away from 5 MP cameras. The Sony sensor they all seem to be built on has noticeably more noise than the better 4 MP sensors.

Call me old school but I still like the 35mm Canon EOS I have. I bought a digital and dropped it once off a coffee table. Never worked the same. I was too lazy to send it in for warranty. The 35mm just keeps going and going.

Piper , I hope you have an early model like the 650/620/630 ,which had metal bodies.The Rebel was the cheapest body of them all. BTW the Canon FTB series could be used occasionally as a hammer if needed one in an
emergency :rollside: .

I don't know how I lived without my Sony Dvd Handycam that takes pictures and movies right onto the DVD!! It's so convenient! And as I don't like carrying a bunch of crap when I'm traveling or on vacation - I just use it for both instead of carrying a camera along also. :)
