A question for all you camera nuts!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
the problem is that there is sooo many choices out there .. and i hear so much good and bad about every single camera i look up ..
 
I bought my Nikon D50 for $500. Cam with two lenses and a flash. Got it off of ebay from a local guy. Of course, this was a while ago. I'm sure you could get a good deal on a newer model now.

i would like to get the cam new .. i have been burned on e-bay 3 out of 3 times .. so i would rather just find a deal online on a new cam .. or a certified used cam ..

the only question .. is the big question .. which model should i get

you know i did some research on the Canon G9 and found that people have been having a lot of problems with it .. both with dust in the lens as well with the camera getting stuck and canon charging people up to $150 to fix it as well as canon saying there was nothing they could do .. and this was only after one month of use.

every model and brand of camera have had people who have had issues with them, nikon/canon from what i've seen have been the most reliable and best built overall.

Try Jacks Camera Shop in Muncie, D40s are nice.

I just saw a D40 and a ton of accessories on my local craigslist for 300 bucks. Now is the time to buy big dollar tools and such. Lots of working families need Christmas dough. At least with CL you can go and check it out. Keep looking - don't settle, your deal is out there! Anyone in the market for a NICE I/R impact, a set of Weld draglites, or a Milwaukee porta band? :D

well then look around for another model, nikon has a good range of high quality P&S's aswell, dust should not be a problem for a user who knows what they are doing, i should know from changeing lenses constanly, the zoom may be a mechanical issue, and if you think there's enough people saying it's bad to warrent staying away, by all means shop around for a different cam, from the people i know who have used it, it hasen't had issues.

thats all i needed to hear .. i know a lot more about guns then cameras and people say the same thing about guns .. but i think if you know how to use/clean it .. you wont have problems with it ..

and my area CR has a bunch of copy paste info .. but not any real post with real pics of the cam they are selling .. so im suspect to contact them about it ..
