| 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.

| I'm trying to stay under $300 though... Looking to stay in the $250 range. I know you get what you pay for but I've been using a Kodak 3.1 mp camera I've had for about 5-6 years now so just about anything is going to be an upgrade.

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.

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 |
