Post your digi cameras

[Matt1eD]

Post your digital cameras. I shoot film aswell (Ilford pan 500 B+W) and develop that in the dark room, however being lasy (and costs), I use digital a huge amount more.

I'll get the ball rolling:

Kodak LS443 - a good camera, excellent (for a camera of it's price) manual control and a good schneider lense. Pity it's had 100 quid spent on it since buying due to a design fault on all LS443 (found 100s of other people with this problem).

Am thinking about getting the Minolta Dimage A200, if I got a DSLR then I'd want to go for the best (with that dual CCD thingy from Fuji), so this would more than do me.

Fuji S5000

Nice camera, its black and has a long thingy at the front for extra lenses and 'filters' (whatever they are) The optical 10X zoom r0cks.

Kodak DX4900, not the best camera in the world, but not bad for a first digicam, i'm planning on buying a canon next i think, maybe for xmas.... we'll see...

Canon Eos 300d, standard lens and a 75-300 zoom. Serves me well!

I have a coolpix 2000, but am thinking of moving my slr over to digital. My 35mm is a pentax and unfortunately thier dslrs are a little hard to come buy at a resonable price. Consequently am thinking of a 300d or a 10d, would probably settle ofr a 75-300 and as wide angle as I could afford. I dont mind using manual focus prime lenses so that could cut the cost of the wide lens a bit.

With the release of the 350D, the second hand prices of the original 300D have come down a fair bit. And ever since the release of the 20D last October, s/h 10D prices have fallen too.

Now, with the release of the 5D and 1D2N in the middle bracket, a few people may be tempted to move to a s/h original 1D2 or new 1D2N, meaning there'll be a fair few 20D's knocking around for sensible money in the next couple of months...

[QUOTE=Matt1eD]Am thinking about getting the Minolta Dimage A200QUOTE]

Had a play with an A200 the other week, was half tempted to buy one until I tried it. To be honest the pics it takes would be as good as most dslrs, but I found the handling to be very bad. Worst aspect was the zoom on the lens, I wouldnt trust it to last over a long period as it appeared to be plastic on plastic. Also had a play with the canon pro1, was very impressive. Would be a good choice for anybody getting a canon dslr, as the flashguns would be compatible. Canon sell refurb pro1 on ebay, they tend to go for £320.

[Matt1eD]

Cheers Flibb. I'd be expecting it to last about three or so years, no-one on dpreview.com seems to have found a problem. Will have alook at the pro1 though.

first camera was a sony DSC-F1 - an awesome little camera, but only 640x480 res. loars of shooting modes though, including continuous (which on a camera from 97 is quite impressive..) http://images.digitalkamera.de/Kamer...nyDSC-F1-M.jpg

kodak cx4230. a very basic limiting camera from 2 years back. 2mp, 3x optical. point and shoot. has served me well, but its not up to waht i want - particularly frustrating is a lack of manual shutter speed adjustment

soon to be replaced by a IS-S2 or a dmc-fz20 (this week in fact)
