Forum: Point N Shoot

Well after several years of Canon cameras I'm trying a Nikon. I can't afford a DSLR and I don't wanna really spend much over $400 due to other expenses I have. The P7700 went to the top of my list. Nikon COOLPIX P7700 Digital Camera I'm re-evaluating my shooting preferences and being more...

Hello, I have a Fuji Finepix S2000HD and I was wondering if anyone else has it and if they have any pointers? I find my self using manual a lot... that's really the only thing I can tell you...

Hello, Sorry, I haven't been on much. Read the threads here a few times but haven't been posting(or on any other photo site) since getting my first DSLR. I recently went fro the D40 to D200, which I love. I'm looking to find a good compact. Basically, I'd like it for a few concerts that I'm...

Well I sold off my 20D and my lenses. Got rid of it while i could get SOMETHING out of it. Value dropped like a rock over 2yrs! Just too tempting of a money pit and rather not go down that slippery slope. :rolleyes: Besides I'm going where there are crowds and Mountain Biking more. A big...

for some reason when i try to transfer photos off my 1200 to my pc windows explorer locks up and resets. i dont have any problems at work running XP, im running vista on my laptop. i havent installed any software, just plugged the camera in like i do my d300. does canon need something special...

In my secret mad scientist laaborrre-a-tory I made what looks like it iwll become the perfect flash accessory for the pocket P&S.. now that I have the design, I just need to refine it some and make it look more pleasing... lol Funny, AFTER I made it I did a search on line and they have one...

I have been tire kicking on buying a point and shoot for a long time. I've bought my daughter and wife different models of the Canon SD750/850IS family, and they seem to love them. I had toyed with getting a Canon G9, but ended up not pulling the trigger. This new Fuji camera looks pretty good...

For a Christmas gift, how does anyone know about the Kodak Easy Shares.... Are they any good for a beginners, etc.... ?

I went with my kids to a concert last week and of course they had the "no removable lenses" requirement, so we were reduced to her Canon SD850IS, which did OK, but really is out of its element at zooming and high ISO. It is a great camera otherwise. I know that a lot of new cameras are getting...

Well, there's times when I'm out and about where carrying along my XT just isn't practical (i.e. not out exclusively for the photos, but still want to get pictures). For those times I just purchased a Canon SD1100IS. Just came yesterday (along with my wife's birthday present, Canon S5IS) so I...

found this on he smug mug users forum and gave it a shot...works great with my sd850IS.. lol way too cool, i love the internet! http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Supercharge_Your_Camera_with_Open-Source_CHDK_Firmware now to test out my newly acquired RAW mode and bracketing!!

All of these shots were taken in my back yard, except for the cat :^) Originals on my SmugMug page.

My DP1 arrived today. It is a very well made little camera. It will take me a little bit to learn how to make it sing. I've only had a chance to take a small number of shots today. Already, I can tell I'm going to love it! Here's a couple of quick shots from today:

Which are the tiniest that will still produce high quality shots... comparible to a DSLR in great light conditions... like outdoors snapshots?

Does anyone know of a P&S that has IR included ? I had a co-worker ask me... I showed him the Canon G9 and I think he might forget about IR altogether now:D The IR I'm used to you have to modify your camera and it'll only shoot IR. Anyone else know anything?

I picked up a Kodak C713 for Jess the otherday. I plan on giving it to her for Christmas. I tried to "train" her to use my Canon but she can't figure it out so I got her a P&S. Has anyone here used the C713?

a co-worker is looking for a good quality inexpensive p&s. something he can take to indoor and out door car shows and get a good shot. im thinking about something around 6mp, cannon or nikon. any ideas of what i should have him look at? i see deals on line but there are so many models of cannon...

Hey Ross, dont you have the G9? How is it for action? little league foot ball, base ball? can it handle anything moving? where does it lay between the pro1 and the 20D as far as shutter lag and shooting action? Thanks!

Got Josh my youngest a Canon Powershot A630 for his BDay today. Just turned 15.....man times flies....seems like I just brought him home from the Hospital. :rolleyes: Anyway it's quite a nice lil 8mp Camera for a P&S. Got Him a 1GB SD at WM for $14.88! He got his $150 for the EOS E50 setup...
