vdrumright Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 So far I'm liking the cannon S500. Anyone own this camera. I guess i should have said that I upgrading from a Sony DCS-P71 Cybershot 3.2 MP. This camera seems to have a hard time focusing in certain situations.

snoopy Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I have a Fuji S7000 and like it, the S5000 would also be a good pick, it's very powerfull for the $. http://www.fujifilm.com/JSP/fuji/epartners...talShowcase.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSS Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I've taken 3,000+ pictures with my Sony P72 which is a 3.2 megapix. Best Buy has it for $229. One of my favorite parts is the 640x480 movies, 15 fps and sound! Only bad thing I've found is it uses rechargable (lithium-ion?) batteries which last about 150 pictures and need to be juiced up. Not too big a deal since I always carry a back up set of AA's and put the weak ones in the charger right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdrumright Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I cleaned my camera. I think it's working better. What do yo think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdrumright Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I'm kidding. I couldn't resist..... I took this one to test color and focus. Overcast, no flash, & raining... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m396 #00-011 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Another fan of the relatively inexpensive Canon A75 or A80's. Hard to beat at that $ point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Al Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 That's what I use for work, taking pictures of buildings and HVAC equipment, it works good for the money. It's either the 75 or the 80, I can't remeber, 3.2 mega pix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 something a little more specific from ya'...lol LOL. . .Sorry, VInce. I didn't suggest anything as I didn't know what price range you wanted to stay in. Here's some suggestions. They are all excellent cameras. It would just be a matter of personal preference. Check out the reviews and go down to your local Circut City/Best Buy for an actual look and feel. In the end it's going to be how the camera feels in your hand as they all will give you good pictures. Canon PowerShot S-45 Canon Power S-50 Canon Power G3 or G5 Sony DSC - T1 This is a much smaller "pocket" camera with a HUGH LCD on the back, Vince. Last I looked it had the biggest LCD for a camera that size in the industry. That is a big plus when reading the Menu's and composing pictures. Good luck, buddy. Let me know if you have any more questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I went to Canon from Olympus and haven't looked back since. S500 is a good camera, I have the older 4MP version, S400. Reviewers say the 4MP S400 actually has better picture quality than the 5MP S500 for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan06SS Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Currently Im using the Sony DSC-P100. Got it at best buy 2 months ago for $425. GREAT CAMERA! Plus, it matches my truck! Sony DSC-P100 Thinking of getting the T1 (Lee suggested earlier) for work use. Its slim so it'd be easier to travel with. Plus, the LCD screen is H U G E ! Sony T1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
