I Just Got Myself My 1st Camera

[Driver]

As it sais

I just got a camera, i dont know anything about camera's.. i just wanted one that takes photos and doesnt have jibberish settings that i can take out wherever and start snappin!

I got a Sony Cyber-shot DSCS40

It's a 4.1mp camera with 3x Optical zoom and seemd pretty good for the price and its a point and shoot camera that will fit in your pocket which is what im after.

I got it for $290 delivered with 4x NiHM rechargeable batteries with charger.

I will get a memory stick for it off ebay as they damn cheap..

Did i do well?

[Mr. Oizo]

I'm just biased against Sony, but I'm sure it's a good camera.

That's a great price though

[Driver]

i did look around

but for the price and what it could do i went for it

[CEF11E]

they arn't a bad camera.

for $$$ the best deal I have seen ATM is the Kodak 5.0 megapixel CX7530 3X optical zoom for $250. it takes amazing shots.

[Driver]

Sorry to hijack your thread but what do you guys think of the Kodak z740 10X optical zoom with printer dock plus for $430 brand new. Is it worth getting any lens filters for it? And if you have used one what do you think of the picture quality? I don’t know anything about cameras and would just like to know if it is a good camera to get me started?

You did ok.

A friend has a digital sony camera, I was quite impressed with the like like saturation it has. Very nice balanced photo's.

Don't buy HP their saturation is too high and tend to get a lot of noise in the back ground, i.e walls or darker areas.

Well,

Here is a pic i just took..

I wasnt keen on taking photos of girly flowers like everyone else, so i took a picture of a sprinker in my garden.

I used mspaint to make it 50% smaller to fit the photo on here.. I dont know if its bad to do that.

[Mr. Oizo]

Get yourself a copy of Photoshop, or Paint Shop Pro at least.

MSpaint has horrible compression and quality loss.

Here is one of the first pics i took with my camera. Still playing with some of the functions.
