i need a new camera

i got a pretty good camera, but it wont load photos on to my computer which pisses me off.

 

This is what i have now. Kodak Easyshare V705. It's 7.1 megapixels and 5x optical zoom. It is or was when it came out in 2006 the world's smallest ultra wide angle camera. The UW angle is what I like about it because I can take photos from very close to the object and never have trouble fitting it in frame. I'd like to get a digital SLR camera soon if I can motivate myself to start saving money and get a job. But I'm very happy with the point and shoot camera I have now.

 

thatd' be good.. we all know how i like to take pictures of my feet!

 

Also it fits very nicely in my pocket so I bring it everywhere!

 

and I love it

 

i've been reseaching cameras and stuff.. and well i just don't have the money for one. i bought some batteries hoping my old camera would work.. but it doesn't.

 

I have a 1968 Konica T SLR and have never been disappointed with it. As far as picture quality is concerned the most important is the photographer then the lens then film, and lastly the the camera itself. It is best to stick with well known brands (Nikon, Cannon, Pentax, Konica, Fuji) to ensure the availability of lens other than the 50mm that comes with the camera. Lenses are the most expensive part, l use the 50mm most of the time followed by the telephoto 75-300mm, and lastly the 28mm wide angle. Filters are also good to have. Most of the time I don't use filters, but the one i use most is the yellow-green filter for black and white portraits and the polarizing filter to reduce glare for color and black and white.

Digital cameras are a joke, anything under 12 mega pixels is incredibly inadequate.

 

some questions to ask yourself


point and shoot?
SLR?
what do you want to do
with it

personally, any camera with a
at least 10up optical zoom

and sometimes when you go
high pixels, your pics can get noisy

how much do you want to spend

if you need some software, for post digital stuff
i would be happy to send a copy

i love kodak because the colour is terrific

there is a new nikon SLR for around USD $1000

edited to add that what peaceman69 said about filters
is true, although there is alot of stuff (filters) for free on the
internet there not bad,but not as good as the real deal

bet if you short on dollars, they hit the spot

good luck camera hunting

 

back, many years ago, before personal computers, when i was thinking about getting into landscape, architectural and industrial photography proffessionally, i had a 4x5 speed graphic, a kalimar 660, a NONE reflex 35 and a number of highly modified box brownies, oh and even an instamatic 125, when those first came out. they didn't have built in light meters in those days so i had one of those too. the kind you pointed at where you wanted to see how much light there was.

that was all ages ago of course. for many years now, up until just last year, i haven't had any think like a real camera to speak of at all, just a couple of what amount to 'box brownie' 35s. but now i've got an olympus fe-210. not good enough for today's pro standards, but good enough to shoot backbuffers for my renders, and grab things that look interesting to me. almost makes me wish i had some kind of off road car that would get me closer more often to the kinds of things i like to take pictures of, which is still mostly trains, and walking trails, and interesting odd, labrynthine buildings.
