New camera

[JOEL]

I'm in the market for a new camera which one should I get?

[michika]

What are you looking for? Point & Shoot? Digital SLR?

[sphelps]

Gotta get a Nikon :mrgreen:

What's your budget?

I don't want just a point and shoot I'm thinking of something better.

What's your budget?

Let's say 600 to 800 dallars

TomR has a Canon G9......... the pics he has posted look awesome.

I have a Canon S5 IS......... I still have to learn how to use it properly.

If you can wait a little longer Nikon will be releasing the D90 which means you should be able to get a brand new D80 with lens kit for around $800. Can't do much better than that.

When do you think the d90 will be out?

I think the d700 is a little out of the price range of $600 -$800 ;P.

D80 will be plenty of camera. If you can't wait for the d90 to come out, you can find one used with the kit lens for about your budget.

Haha, I wish.

Unless your ready to spend another $600 -$800 on Lenses I'd stick to point and shoot.
there are a lot of Great ones out there but Agree the Canon G9 is a very noce camera

Ha..ha..trust me...be thankful that you don't!

Any other suggestions.

Well if you are looking for dslr, there are many other systems you can go with.

Fuji will allow you to use nikon lens, that I'm sure. There is also olympus, canon, sony etc.

Go to a camera store and try them out. There are some stores that will allow you to purchase the camera for a week to try it out in your own home. You can also look at dpreview.com for camera reviews.
