Alright, I gotta take the plunge. I need to start making my own gun porn (and the wife used to be into photography years ago...she needs to take pics of her gardens, yard etc). Anyhoo, I know jack shit about 'em. What do you recommend? I've been looking at... Fuji Finepix E550 Sony Cybershot DSC-V1 Canon Powershot A95 and maybe... Olympus C770 Ultra Zoom Nikon CoolPix 5700 What do you all think and recommend? Rich |

I have an A60 and A85. I also have a Canon Elan 7 and another film body so I like Canon. Go with the A95!!! You may try posting here American Photography Forum  |
Scrub round the Sony DSC V-1 get it's replacement! I've just bought a Sony DSCV-3 to replace my 3 year old DSC-S85 It's an awesome camera! Terrific quality both optically and mechanically, 7megapixel and it can store over an hour of VGA qualty Video on a 1 Gig Compact Flash card! ANdy |

It never ceases to amaze me how many people buy 5 megapixel cameras for the sole purpose of putting 0.5 megapixel images on their photo hosting service. For posting pictures of your guns on the web, ANY digital camera manufactured within the last 6 years is overkill. |
untrue.. there are some things more current cameras do that ones from 6 years ago dont.. 15sec exposures, 30second exposures, BULB!, more iso numbers, better glass, faster on time, less shutter lag(time between button push and actual photo taken), larger buffers so you can burst the camera for x ammount of frames, noise reduction... and the #1 is INCREASED BATTERY LIFE! heck my old kodak would kill a set of 4 AA's in 15 shots with the lcd on.. my canon a70 i could shoot 400+ photos with 4 AA alkalines, 600 with NiMH batt's |
