Cameras..

Hey man,
I just bought the Nikon Coolpix S50c for $299 at the PX. I still need a good SD card and I can get that for less than fifty bucks for the capacity I'd like.

7.1 megapixels- Vibration Reduction- big lcd viewfinder- leather case for less than $300
 
Olympus FE 230, 7.1 megapixel ---small and compact. There is a 4 gigabyte SD card in the stores now
 
This is what i ordered.. Nikon Coolpix P50 Black 8.1 MP 3.6X Zoom Digital Camera
 
hey Doyle,

I got a panasonic lumix dmc-tz3 before my paris trip. I gotta say, its pretty dang impressive. 7.2MP, 2 IS modes, 10x optical zoom, wide angle lense (~28mm), does video w/audio for as long as you have memory, uses SD & HCSD, big 3" LCD on the back. The only thing it doesnt have that I'm used to is a view finder, you have to look at the LCD but I have walked alllllll over european cities and only needed the extra battery I got once in a while. I get 200-250pics on a charge.

And its in the price range, like $240 depending on color choice

The other nice thing, this thing fits easily in a pocket (jacket/jeans/shorts) and will verrry easily fit under the hump/seat

for example, from a moving boat, at night, no flash and not the steadiest hand

dont think anyone has posted it yet but this site has some great write ups and info for the digital camera world... pretty unbiased and has some great example shots for some of the cams DP Review
 
I think the D200 that Cap is selling is going to fail you Doyle... it is another "studio" pro camera body but is sure a nice item... Maybe a good used one for say $1000? (plus lenses) You would be better to buy my D100 and let ME buy the D200

Doug, why are you selling the D200? upgrade to the D3?

or you going over to the other side (Canon)
 
I'm a Canon guy and loved my A560.. till I dropped it into the bottom of the raft during a river run.. I'm goin with the SX100IS next.. a buddy just got a Casio EX-Z1080 and loves it.. it's super small and fits in the pocket of anything.. My "real" camera is a Canon 40D, but it's way to big and too much money to take on the bike..
 
oh yeah, the panasonic has a diving water tight case you can get for it

then again most do these days but its actually made for it
