Present: Digital Camera

[smittysbar]

MY wife wants a really nice Digital camera. We have a nice small one, but she is wanting one to take better photos, maybe as a hobby. I think Cannon make some nice models. I know there are some guys on here that are into this kind of thing, can you give me some help?

I've got a really nice little Olympus. I'm a fan of their digital cameras.

Nikons aren't bad.

And maybe some model numbers you have dealt with.

I hate the way my little digital camera has that delay after you push the button. Do better digital cameras have the same delay?

Canon G10. Although my next digital camera will take 35mm lenses.

Yes, interchangable lenses would be cool.

[Phobia]

A budget range would be helpful.

Id be sure to get one that comes with a remote. It allows for you to take photos without being behind the camera and on those drunken nights it might possibly allow you to make your own 'inspirational' videos together.

Canon, is a great camera...

Olympus has a nice waterproof camera, but I hate XD memory..

imo, Nikons are the way to go. Great camera's, with great features that take great pictures for a great price....

The Panasonic TZ5 is awesome!

Did I mention Nikon had Ashton Kutcher!

[smittysbar]

Not sure what I am going to spend.....I guess what I need to to get a pretty good one for her.

Towards the bottom it mentions a free photo printer with mail in rebate as an add on if you want. Out of stock online currently, but i'd check your local store too.

They basically made it for people who want to start out in photography with an DSLR interchangeable lens type camera without having to put down a total fortune.
