Camera question
 

Okay,
I need to buy a digital camera or cam corder. Any body know what to look for? I believe you can get stills from the camcorder. If thats the case I would go for the extra bucks for that.
Thanks for the help.

Dear Tantrum:

I have three free passes left for the TechExpo in NY next week. Wanna watch me drill the Nikon guys on digitals. I know what questions to ask. You are more than welcome to be my guest. This should be interesting.

IVE GOT A NIKON 995 DIGITAL ..JUST LEARNING HOW TO USE IT BUT WOOOOW WHAT GREAT PICTURES IT TAKES...

Jennifer Go get em i am anxios to see what you dig up.

Zoom lens
 

Jennifer,
If you would, please find out if any manufacturers are coming out with a digital that has a better than 10x optical zoom.
I have a Olympus C 2100 with a 10 X optical but would really like one to go up to 20X optical.
Thanks

Ive got a little MVC300 Sony and am really quite happy with it. Some of the cameras will do MPEG's, mine does, but haven't used it yet.

I use a Olympus e-10. Half the price of the D-1 body alone and does enough for me. 4MP. Can't change the lense but has good zoom quality and 2 add on telephoto lenses. I'm happy with the decision. When they get the d-1 down to a sane price I might bite.

I still have my Nikon FE if I need more

Canon Elura40MC is a good small MiniDV camcorder that will take stills at 1024x768.

Sony PC120 is similar but higher res stills, costs more, and is a little larger.

Both are gooduns if you need primarily a camcorder but want to get stills too.

Lots of the digi still cams can also record a couple of minutes of video if you need primarily a still cam but want some vid ability.

Gdfatha,
Olympus discontinued that camera three months ago with no replacement. There is a 2X add on for the C2100. They were great cameras for only being 2.3 mega pixels.

I NEED ADVICE - PLEASE.

I just got a call from a gentleman that wants to donate a camera - the Nikon DS1 or 4 to www.PowerboatingCharities.com so that I can get pictures to promote the web site.

I can't do this. I can't on behalf of myself accept such a gift. However, I know what it can do.

He said that his corporation would own the camera and I could use it? I don't understand, and I broke my Minolta 7000i at the NY run.

What do I do? I'm just trying to earn a pair of wings here...
