Well decided on getting a digital camer and im thinkong about this; canon powershot A650 any suggestions thoughts comments welcome i want a good reasonably priced camera with a good zoom and the ability for big pixs thanks.

 

Nikon or cannon depends on how much you have to spend

 

yea those are my thoughts exactly but i just dont want pick one and then hate it. The one i wrote in the first post allows u to attach lenses which i think is pretty cool for a point and shoot camera.

 

I personally like Canon, and have an Powershot A570, and 30D

 

How much is the one you want? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ is your friend!

 

Any Canon Digital elph series... I have a SD450 but it is a little old... Amazing quality for a point and shoot. Plus they have a body on them instead of the plastic on the A Series (A650 too) that you are looking at...

 

What kind of price range are you looking at?

 

yea i live there lol thats where im shopping.

about 300-450

 

For that price range, you might look into there "Advanced" P&S such as the Canon S5, Fuji FinePix S8000, FinePix S700, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7.

Also checkout www.dpreview.com they have TONS of review and info on digital cameras...

 

i dont know those cameras are just a little bit too bulky for me i dont want something like that but when i go sunday (maybe) to B&H i look at some of those and how i feel about them.

 

well i think i decided on the G9 by canon looks really good any last comments before i buy on wednesday?

 

do it...

 

With Olympus you can't go wrong. They make some wonderful/affordable zoom cams !

What's the price range you're aiming for ?

 

i have a canon 630 and a nikon d40, FTW

 

I was just gonna say Olympus.

My sister bought a shock/waterproof camera made by them, its really sweet.

I'm in need of a camera too so im thinkin of something along those lines

 

i had like the first digital olympus that ever came out at least that is how i feel about it D370 i dont even use it anymore because the pics are horrible (compared to todays standards) i have resolved to film again lol.

 

I see now that the A650's price is between 280 and 320$.

Well for about 350$ you can get the Olympus SP-560 UZ which offers three times the A650's zoom
I've been using the Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom for over two years now. The build quality is great and the image quality is awesome.

.

 

cannon sx100

 

but that camera is too hefty. And you can add on lenses to this one if you want without a problem

well a little update got the G9 and it is the **** i love it going to take some pics this weekend i love the menus and thins and all the little things you can do got it a best buy which i hate but B and H closes at seven and it was sold out but all in all it was worth the 550 for the camera 80 for the protection plan with accedental and 40 for a 4 gb card.

 

Glad you got a camera but you could have goten a DSLR for that much.

*Edit I just saw u didnt want a bulky camera. Never mind lol.

 

G9? what brand is that? i just boughta sony H9 ****** incredible

 

Probably Canon, I've had the G5 for 4 years now and love it... time to update and will either go Canon or Nikon SLR
