Choice of camera?

[dareefguy]

My wife dropped my camera the other day and with the lenses doing the flip flop on the inside I think it is time for a new one.

I can't afford a real expensive one (not with the hobbie I am in anyways) But would like to take some good pictures and maybe upgrade some lenses at a later date.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I recently purchased a Canon G9. I was not wanting to spend thousands for DSLR however I wanted something that would give me a quality picture. Not knowing what your budget is, I would suggest a good look at the Canon G9.

This photo was taken with my G9. I have only had the camera for a couple of weeks. It takes a bit of exploring to improve your pictures. I tried out a couple of camera from London Drugs and the 12.2MP and ability to shot in Raw makes a Hugh difference in the camera. The first picture was shot by my friend Renegade and his Nikon DSLR.

Hi Keri

Theses are some of my first pictures with the Canon G9. They are mostly top down through an acrylic box.











The last one is just using the Aquarium setting through the front glass

Hey Tom, thanks for the examples, those are nice !

It has an AQUARIUM setting?? Hmm!

Hi Keri

I am looking to step up to the Canon Rebel Xsi. London Drug will let try out the camera for 2 wks, I am at 6 weeks and they will allow me to upgrade to the Xis.

The Aquarium and Underwater setting are ok for that quick shot but after a while you will want to get tighter settings.

Hey friend I have D70 for sale in the for sale section if you didn't notice, also I believe the D40 and new D60 are also quite affordable. They all come with your basic starter lens which will give you great photos and you can upgrade or buy additional lenses later for specialty pictures. In addition you can later upgrade the body and use the same lenses.

Sorry I'm a Nikon guy.
