painkilleryusuf 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hey guys, I had a Sony Cybershot DSC W-55, which i recently lost on my trip to Colombo. Just for the small bit I took the normal disposable cams which would do the job. Now I am in search of a Camera which is same or better than the camera i had before.Should I buy the same camera as before. I am getting the same camera for KWD 65 (~$239). My budget for a new camera variable depend on two conditions. 1. If its a normal Digi-cam as the one i had before then my budget is $250 (KWD 70)2. If the camera is an SLR camera or something which has more functions. then my budget can bump upto $295 (KWD 80). Please help. RegardsyM Link to post
GfulDedFan 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I Just picked this up 2 days ago and I love it. I got it in white to match my MacBook. The reviews were good and the price was right 150us. Good luck looking around...that's the fun part. Link to post

davidsword 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I vote for a digital slr. It will last you ten.. twenty plus years and every photo will be guaranteed stunning, the lowest price I've seen for one was a Canon EOS Rebel XTi 10.1MP for $599CAD on boxing day.. There uber expensive, but well worth it. Link to post
Mac Intosh 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I just bought a Canon Digital Rebel XT... and got some lenses and stuff... It shoots like 3fps and it's like 8mp and that's good enough for most people and the price isn't too bad... Link to post

alpha2zulu 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I always suggest people take a look at the Flickr camera page. No doubt there's a lot of opinion involved there.LinkIt even shows pics taken by all the cameras. Link to post

painkilleryusuf 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 well intially i suggested to bump up my budget to ~$295 if the camera was a DSLR. The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT seems pretty convincing to me. But now i have another camera which is the Canon PowerShot A530 in mind. What do you guys say because the reviews for the powershot arent bad either.And should i totally ignore the chance of buying the Cybershot DSC-W55? Link to post
Jammy343 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 ^^ wtf???I would go for Digital SLR if you have the money, i recon the best ones are Canon EOS 400D, Nikon D40, Nikon D300.Or you could look at the bridge cameras. Quite a good range there, like the Fuji Finepix series. i have the S9600, got a good zoom, 20-300mm (eq 30MM) but crap @ anything higher than 800ISO. this is a great website, loads of information on new, old and cameras which are soon to be releced.... http://www.dpreview.com/If you have no budget at all i would go for this only £5498.99. I think its an awesome camera. Slightly over priced. Link to post
Mac Intosh 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well there is a new camera and it is an upgrade to the Nikon D40... it's the D60.... it will be a little less than $800 and is going to be released at the end of February. Link to post
Björn 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I vote for Canon 350D. Cheap and you can still get them. Link to post
painkilleryusuf 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 @ Jammy, MacIntosh, Bjorn. What you guys are suggesting me are way above my budget. I mean when you buy them from kuwait. Its different here from what you guys buy out there. From what i checked the best price on the net for the Canon Powershot A550 is $135.And for the same camera the local price is KWD 88 (~$240). which is just under the double. Now what do you guys suggest. Should i order it online and pay for the delivy charges which will cost me the same.. or should i ask someone to purchase it for me and send it here. or should i buy the camera from here itself?(powershot a550) Link to post
