Monkeyd's big phat totaly random Tree type thing - photovisual thread...........

[John Hancock]

Inbetween cameras John. My Sony DSC50 is caput.

This is the little casio I had at Broadway, seems Okish for bright light & landscape but everything is greeny/blue on close up.

 

Gonna get something new in a month or so.

 

Suggestions for 200-250?

Leave it with me; I’ll start the research! Shame you cant persuade the wife so you can splash out big-time on a camera, you obviously get a lot of enjoyment out of it; as I do.

The money your talking about will get you a nikon D40 - but spend as much as you can because you'll really get into it and wish you'd spent more. A D60 is a nice camera, have a look on e-bay or Jessops..

I'm researching cameras at the mo david.

 

I'm gonna chuck a bit of money at it tho.

Looking at - Panasonic Lumix LX3 (very good for macro) but about 350 squids,

Canon G10 G11 - more pricey, Canon S90

 

These are between a pocket type thing and SLR - hybrids with small size but SLR functions.

I'll keep you informed of how my finding out goes and bear you in mind as I do more looking into it

[John Hancock]

May I propose a photography sub-forum, as there are a lot of members on here who really do enjoy this stuff?

[Albedo]

Good idea, or just another thread for now to save a major derailment here

[Albedo]

Heres one for you to look at david. Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ7 -£249

 

If you google brand name + review you'll get a good idea of its pros and cons

 

I'm just off to jessops now to get a bit of hands on research done

Cheers fellas some good looking options.

 

I'm in a dilema as I've got a budget for a work camera, but it aint really gonna rock the photographic world.

 

But would really like a decent bit of hardwear, but as my last camera only lasted a year due to work stress, sawdust, big hairy arbs sitting on it etc.....

I don't really know which way to go with this.

 

Get a mid range for work, and no decent one for home.

 

Or continue with crappy little olympus at work (3 years old) and get a mid range for home.

 

Or not use the work budget & get a decent one myself that I can use at work & Home.

 

 

 

 

 

John very good idea for a sub-forum.

 

If Steve doesnt catch it here, I'll Pm him.

Canon G10 David.....you've seen the results!

I'm sure you could still pick up a G8 or 9 to fit your budget.
