Take the FE220, it's an ok camera, good for personal shots and things, the other one is a bit old, round 4-5 years i'm guessing? and only 4MP vs 7.1, not that MP matters, it's all about image quality, optical zoom and ISO, both have pretty low zooms 3x and 4x,

So i reckon the FE220

If you are looking into getting into real good photography later on, I'd recommend if you're on a budget of say $500

get the FujiFilm S5700 and a 2-4gb SD card + some rechargable AA batteries, it takes nice quality photos 10x optical zoom, good for point and shoot work

or hardcore styles a Canon 30D or 40D then say a 35-200mm lense, will easily set you back a few grand, usually round 3k

Make sure you post the pics up of any good skylines at the show :rolleyes: have fun dude

Haha cheers mate, don't think there will be any skylines, I wish the new gtr would be there but don't think im that lucky.

Ur right about the c-750, although it does have 10x optical zoom and far more manual features, not that i know how to use them though ;-)

The fe220 seems to be quite a nice point and shoot camera, but most of the photos i have taken in darkish environments turn out weird.

Be patient... There will be a lot of people in there... people will walk infront of you, and they will bump you...

Eventually you'll get the shot you want... and the more important your camera looks, the more people that will stop for you :thumbsup:

Get a lanyard around your neck too :)

Take both and look REALLY important!

then you can compare the results so you know for next time..

Haha i like the way you all think!!! Will have two cameras and a lanyard, and somehow i'll make my camera look cool and im set!

Yea i think i will take both, get the missus to use one and ill use the other. Ill take heapsa pics and post all the good ones hear...hopefullly the chicks....

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
