Well I was using the Olympus d560 ... while it was a great camera for the 3.2MP it was. I had a big problem with it blowing through batteries. It served it's purpose though! Would I recommend one ... no! Only because there are better cameras available now for around the same cost!

NOW ....

I just purchased a Kodak easy share z740 ... 5.0MP, 10 X zoom and the printer and docking station to go along! $399 at Staples! I haven't really figured it all out yet, but what I do like about this camera is the ability to use the manual mode ... being able to adjust F-stops and shutter speed is great!

Good luck and remember to shop around, there is always one place that has better prices!

I have a sony cybershot dsc p92. I used it for all the pics in my gallery. It's a decent cheap digital camera.

Canon powershot A70. the pictures of my tanks on the website below were taken with it. Good camera for the money I'd say!

That's huge in my book. I'm and old school camera guy and never did like auto exposure features. Might check that one out.

austinsdad ... I used to shoot with an old Cannon AE1 and let me tell you some of the best picture I have ever taken were from that 35mm.

austinsdad · 12-01-2005, 01:08 PM

Had that and a Canon T70 once. Trusted the AE1 more.

I still have an old Mamiyaflex, 2 1/4 format (120 film), prism view finder. I used to do weeding and portraits with that thing. Awesomely manual.

P.S. - Reefrunner is our resident advisor on digital cameras and use as far as I know. Maybe he can help you further if you PM'd him.
