slugdub Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I am a troll but I am also armed with a serious answer. I think this is the 4th time I'm posting this on here but it doesn't change. newegg.com Go there and find a deal on a package. You can get the best price plus they throw in little things like cases and other packages of stuff you might need. Afterall, it isn't just the camera you need.. you need memory for it and all the other goodies. If you want to try something out just go to Best Buy and fiddle with it there but DON'T buy a camera RETAIL unless it's like something super high end and you can get a good price.

slugdub Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Here is a nice on. Canon is probably the best for what you are using it for. Those cameras are amazing. Anyhow, if you look closely at this sale: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830120395 You see at the bottom left is bundles and it says in green "Free with purchase!" 8 gig card and case so make sure and click that and buy that deal because its $149.99 + free + $3 shipping so you're at $152.98 if you can handle that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 i agree on canons being good, some of the sony point and shoots are pretty nice as well. what i look for in a camera is the lens it uses, shutter speeds, reviews that have test images shot with the camera, video recording fps and if it can zoom while filming as a video camera. in your case id look for the best optical zoom you can find as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugdub Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 OH yeah, I forget to recommend you check cnet.com for their reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somerandomguy Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Yes, cnet.com Lots and lots of research first I wouldn't suggest buying a point and shoot, but for your price range that's what you have to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhoh_45 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 i was looking at this sony cyber-shot but i donno some people say its slow and grainy where others say other wise, does anyone have any personal experience with this line of cameras?

No bullshit fees at all. I buy stuff from Canada all the time and it shows up from UPS in a few days. Not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugdub Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) I wouldn't suggest buying a point and shoot, but for your price range that's what you have to get. You going to lug your $2000 SLR around at a rock concert all day in the hot sun with thousands of drunk people staggering around. Even the pros have a point and shoot backup on them at all times. Don't hate. Edited July 19, 2010 by slugdub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
