Well, what do you think?

Postby The Ruptured Duck » Wed Jan 16, 2008 8:32 pm

Took a trip to the camera shop this morning before work, and basically made up my mind about what SLR I will buy.  My decision kinda suprised me.  Saturday is the day.

Who have you upset Duck, he's followed you around a bit  :-?

Still, good luck with the camera, you'll find the leap in image quality astounding

Just go for the most MP's


No, no, no! Megapixels are the last thing that you should be thinking about! They only start to really make a difference if you start wanting to print pictures out the size of your front door. :P

I was going to go for the Olympus E-410 myself but then I decided to go for the Canon EOS 400D (should arrive on Monday!  :D).

Congrats on the new camera, I look forward to seeing it!  :)

I agree, but you should read the whole sentence... "and abilities your budget can buy". Basically, if you're on a low budget, than a Pentax K100D Super and a Nikon d40 will do just fine. But if you have a bit more to spend, do it to get an even better camera.

Go for the Kodak Brownie..........

..........especially if you need to ask what to get........

On the other hand, Kris has presented some good hardware search information........

Firstly, everyone is limited by their own budget, set what you can afford as your limit,........
Second, get as many feature/resolution as your budget allows,.........
Finally, go for the personal feel. No one else matters in this area !

With regard to this, .......
It can become important if you just want to capture "just the shot" and not worry about image quality for that certain subject.
