Looking for a good CAMERA need help!!

[excalibur02]

are you looking for a digital camera or a full body DSLR camera?

If so do not get the Nikon coolpix series digital cameras. My gf and I tried one and it sucked for quality. She ended up getting a sony cybershot.

My real camera tho is the Nikon d60. But not in your budget as stated above.

agreed, nikon point and shoot's really suck. for that i'd go with a good canon or sony. 300 will get you a really nice point and shoot brand new with an extended warantee, which i would suggest.

Yeah for 300 I suggest a sony or canon digital point and shoot.

I'm a bit weiry on casio cameras too. I worked for casio and there quality got shitty over time.very blurry pics and not enough focus.

I didnt know this but, GE makes cameras. They have an X5 model that is a point and shoot. I've never tried it but it may be something to look into. Its definitely in your price range at $180.00!

I believe Sears sells this model, you may want to play with one at the store and see if it will work for you....

stay away from the GE's they suck.
i had one for less than a year and it crapped out under normal operating and care.

Thanks again guys. Looking something I can go to the airshow and take good pics or a carshow. That I can change the lens or buy them. But still looking

my friend uses the Canon EOS REBEL T2i . Takes really great pictures. price is a bit high.

You keep mentioning airshows. Taking airshow shots is like taking bird in flight shots. It's expensive to get good pictures. A high end point and shoot isnt going to cut it at air shows. The minimum is a 70-200 lens+extenders. Most air show shooters use the 100-400 or bigger primes.

I'd look into a cheap 20d or 30d+some good glass later down the road. Keep saving!

Unfortunately Richie he is right.

Ive tried shooting flying wildlife, mostly Hawks and such with a p+s...extremely hard.

I can only imagine the difficulty of an air show.

If you want great pictures from an air show your going to have to save up a little bit and really invest in glass. That's what is the expensive side of the hobby and produces results.

Keep saving!
