Just don\'t use it to

take pics of your you know what for elana. She will forward them to ssg, and she is not as kind. Don\'t learn

the hard way man!

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/ (\"http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/\")

dpreview.com is the best

place for full very specific reviews on every digital camera. When my brother was trying to buy one I just told him

of that site and he then bought the Cannon Powershot which is a very nice camera, not sure of it\'s price I think

it is in the 300-400 US dollar range, might be lower.

Anyhow it\'s a very good review site.

CK,

I\'d be quite

confident in recommending the Nikon and Kodak models. I\'ve got a Nikon D100 and it\'s great. And I\'ve heard

good things about Olympus digitals in general.

Leica and Contax have some kick-ass mid-price digitals, as well.

(Contax is my axe of choice for film...)

HTH.

Well that

is quite a skill, but then again what else could you go by? Instead of putting a face to every name you use a cock.

Very beautiful system. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

In high school, I

could tell you every guy on the football team based on a$$ alone. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Even now if I see a guy walking, and he\'s far enough away from me that all I can distinguish is the way he\'s

walking, I can still tell you if it\'s someone I know and who, because I love to watch men move.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif Where there\'s an interest, there\'s a will to distinguish the

differences. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I second that

recomendation for the dpreview site. I also have another recomendation:

http://www.imaging-resource.com (\"http://www.imaging-resource.com\")
The guy that runs this site has

some uniform test shots that he does with the cameras that he reviews. I was using both of these sites the most

when I was looking for a digital camera.

As for camera recomendations themselves, it really depends on what

specs that are important for you. There is a wide variety of cameras available in the $300-400 range. I was set on

getting the Fujifilm s7000 in Oct because of the vibrant colors that fujifilm cameras produce and the ability of

shooting movies with the limit being the storage card. Changed my mind when something new caught my eye in Sept. .

. . .

Holmes, you have a Nikon D100? Cool. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif I have a Canon

dRebel. It one of the main reasons why I haven\'t been around the forum too much in the past few

months.

Yeah, right. There was that one time when she sent my pic to the whole tri-state

area...needless to say I\'ve been getting a lot more attention from women. I should be thanking her.

This was a joke and only a joke. Any use of this as slander against Elana\'s reputation will result in a severe

Yeah man, the D100 is pretty dang good. I\'d been using

it on maybe 75% of my shoots.

The Canon stuff is really good, too. Great optics.

I\'d forgotten about the

Fujifilm option until you mentioned it. First digital camera I used was a Fuji and I was impressed.
