|  Looking for a new Camera
I've narrowed it down to these 3.... Fujifilm FinePix S700BK 7-Megapixel Digital Camera Canon PowerShot SX100 IS 8-Megapixel Digital Camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3K 7.2-Megapixel Digital Camera Any of you guys have an opinion on these. Looking for a good quality camera for a decent price. These range from $210-$260. |

Go with the canon has a way better CCD, the Fuji has color bleeding issues.

I have the Panasonic Lumix and it takes good pictures and is probably a bit cheaper than the others.

Here is a close shot with my PowerShot S5 IS, the canon you picked are based on the IS. the IS just has a little more zoom (12x) and some other shooting modes on it.  Here is a outside type shot of one of my other hobbies   Last edited by BUBBA069; 11-18-2007 at 03:49 PM. |

Sounds like you have your mind set on those two. But if your open to suggestions the Kodak EasyShare Z885 (8.1 Megapixel, 5x Optical Zoom, 5x Digital Zoom) is under $200 and I have seen good reviews. Hoping to make it my next purchase.

I help a guy who makes the tubes as a side business http://www.pyrogear.net/ in exchange I get racks as payment. What is in the pic is all 1.5" class C, stuff any one can buy, for the BIG stuff my buddy has the license to do, and big I mean 4" and 5".

Bubba069 those are some nice shots... I'll have to look into that one. By the way that's a sick setup right there. How long did it take to set them all off? Now I'm down to these...... Canon PowerShot SX100 IS 8-Megapixel Digital Camera Canon Powershot S5 (if I decide to up my allowance) Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3K 7.2-Megapixel Digital Camera Fuji S700 So I'm worse off then when I started.... JeremyH that's a nice closeup... makes that camera back on the list. I don't want a sony because I already have a bunch of SD card and sony only uses there own card.

The SX100 is a budget S5 IS, I think that you would be happy with either one. As for the fireworks, the whole show lasted 6 minutes. First was the fountain cakes, then the class C shells, then the class B fountains, then the class B shells. Oddly enough I took the video with the S5  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxx1CXdlH1Y |
