Digital Cameras

[Domino]

I just purchased my first Digital Camera ever and waiting for it to arrive. I wanted to buy one for the longest time, but never got around to it.

It is a Sony camera and only cost 170 US dollars. Does anybody here own this camera? and also what kind of Digital Camera do you use.

I am looking forward to taking alot of pics when i get it in a couple of days.

I wish i had it right now to take pics of the major storm around here where every tree pretty much broke into a million pieces.

Tell me about features of your camera, and let me know if the camera i bought is a piece of crap. I know you get what you pay for, but i'm gonna have some fun with it.

Cheers,
Shawn

That's a good-looking camera, the features look great for the price. Not bad for a beginner's camera.

This is the camera I use: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Canon/canon_eos350d.asp

A bit more advanced, I must say, but it's a lot more expensive and worth every penny. Especially when what you take with it makes you money.

Though, this is what I started with: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Nikon/nikon_cp995.asp

I use the Sony DSC-P200 which I totally love (http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/P200/P200A.HTM except mine is black). I wish there was a better manual focus for blurring out backgrounds and other effects, but it's easy to use and the image quality is great (and I haven't even shot at full resolution yet). It's also a nice compromise between size and optical quality - as long as I can carry it in my pocket, I don't mind that it's not super-slim.
