Camera Thread...What kind of Camera do you Recommend?
 

One thing is for sure, everyone on this forum owns a Camera to conduct their business on eBay and Amazon.

Thought this might make a good thread for members to share what Camera they are using and why? I have had the opportunity to try many many digital Cameras because I get really nice ones for under $10 at garage sales.

The Casio Exilim EX-Z75 is my 100% recommendation for a easy to use point and shoot Camera.

Reasons why...2.6" LCD, 300+ pictures per battery charge, Great low light pictures, batteries are $3.30 w/free shipping on eBay, 7.2 MP, automatically senses close-up shots and you can buy this Camera all day long on eBay for less than $50 shipped.

Canon EOS 5D is the best one i ever use.

I have the Canon A590, it's 8 mp and has many cool bells an whistles:

-face detection
-Uses regular batteries, I love regular batteries as I have a bunch of rechargeable ones at home and find it more convenient to use them
- had the option to add a larger lens
-optical image stabelization
- Supports SD Card

I have an HP M305 (3.2 MP) for the grunt work and a FujiFilm FinePix S1000fd (10.0 MP) for the best eBay pr0n shotz.

I have the new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W180. its pretty good 10.1MP
and i like the Canon PowerShot 12.1-Megapixel Digital Camera

I love my Canon Rebel XTI

I have four cameras,one is for family use,the other ones are for business use.Canon EOS 5D do a good job so far and the picture is so clear.

i really like the brand canon over any other brands for cameras.
good price for great quality product..

Newegg has a deal last week for a cannon 10 mp, I forgot the model but it was for $125. It was a nice deal!

yeah! i love canon.

Camera Thread...What kind of Camera do you Recommend?
 

Hello folks, just want to see your opinion what camera do you use for ebay and amazon? some people are using Canon some Nikon/Other cameras.

What do you like more and why?

Am a fan of NIKON.

Used them professionally long before I did ebay.

Range these days is excellent for most models.

Choice could be based onwhat's the price range & expectations of the completed image from an easy to use camera. :ranger:

Nikon D800 baby! destroys errrrrrr thinggggg!

The F%^&ing Nikon D800 vs. Canon 5D mkIII Shootout - YouTube

Absolutely useless and overkill if you are not a professional/with professional experience.

@BiN4RY

Very fair point.

How about some followup suggestions from mine regarding 'easy to use' equipment. :ranger:

Cameras along the lines of Nikon D3100 and Canon EOS 1100D are great for starters. They offer great performance for the price you've paids. I've known lots of "promature" hobbiest that used cameras along these entry levels for years and have taken amazing shots with them. Keep in mind that the camera is merely a tool, the quality of its work solely depends on the operator.

FUJIFILM FINEPIX S2950 bridge camera,14 megapixels,18x zoom 3 inch lcd

its quite good,has its pitfalls but its only for general use

rsot uses this :snicker:

woah.....i knew he was oldskool but ;)

'Mazing like :heh:

Don't insult these old school medium format cameras, they're better and more useful than you think

Yeah GB! don't insult them - I still use them myself.

Dear me.You lot are humourless.

Antique Brownies can still fetch up to £50 especially if they are one of those zany coloured models.

Carefully handled you can develop and print off a roll of Kodak 127 from your Brownie.

That separates photographers ;)


@Thankful
that's brownie cookie that you eat :boink:

I'm not a fan of bridge cameras. Buy a entry level DSLR instead.

how much we talkin

Under $400 for a used, something around that.

WOW:eek:

i only need it for taking pics man

He Upgraded???

As someone who's worked with TV companies in the UK, Playlist managers and have started from no knowledge of TV Cameras I will say this.
(1) Don't believe anything shops tell you IE: Maplins etc..they're aim is to sell you a camera..thats it and you may end up with something that isn't for the purpose or aim you want
(2) Do your research- read reviews on the model camera your going to buy..BEFORE you buy it. Look at youtube for 'test footage' of the camera model..look at youtube reviews..and of course your friend is google..do your research on google. Whilst 50% of reviews are people's opinions and they're are some companies who get backhanders off the camera companies..some sites like CNET..youtube reviews etc are neutral and will give you a honest run down.
(3) Think thoroughly about what your looking for in a camera..and if the camera your looking at has has this feature..also use this to narrow down your search..camerabox is a good site for this
(4) look around for the best price..sometimes even emailing/telephoning companies they will give u a cheaper price than what the site says..
Me myself own a variety of cameras,
I've got a Samsung 12MP Digitial Camera/Video Camera that shoots in HD I picked up from Argos for £70..it's been a fantastic camera and i just use it reeally for holidays, nights out etc..
Then I also own a Panasonic HDCSD-700..one of the best purchases I ever made a fantastic video camera, and although it's been discontinued now it's fantastic..i've had stuff with this camera get on TV it's also a photo camera pretty good..this one cost me £700 but i got a few years warranty with it too...
(5) I have a Canon 5D and Canon 550D..I use these for professional photos..ie newspapers who want to interview me, when my management want photos etc and also had TV videos on these cameras..i bought both off ebay and paid £4000 with a few multiple lenses got 6 in total..
and I've just bought a Canon 7D :) too..

Hello rsot, where are you? people are gossiping about you :FF:

The Canon 5D is a good choice, but to be fair the 550D is alot cheaper and has most of the functions, plus if you crack it using magic lantern and jump a memory card you get the same features pretty much for the 550D.

The lad knows tricks :thumb:

aha :) :heh:

Should you use a different camera for all your ebay accts....? A little off topic but....just asking :)

download exifcleaner and set it up to clear all exif data from each picture

different camera no

ExifCleaner - Download.com

GTB is the man he knows what he's talking about..you can also download many softwares which will digitally enhance your photos or add presets to give it a pro shot..personally myself I don't use these as I'm a old school believer that from the directors/labels I've worked with natural light and the correct settings/set up before a video/photo is what makes it perfect after..but of course post production these days is as important as recording/photos..you can do alot in post if u have the talent..check out 'rs funky' on youtube that was shot on my SD700 Panasonic I mentioned earlier in the thread..but people think it's Canon 7D Shot..it's all in post production, because my manager is a great editor so he made the video look amazing. That video's now had over 123,000 youtube views and many comments many likes. And was just on UK TV here on Channel AKA/Flava. :)

...I was looking at Kodak Funshot cameras marked down to 2.97 the other day...good deal.../old school mode off.

Schribs all i want is a decent photo for ebay!! A Nice camera that isnt too pricey would do the trick....any suggestions?? All i use is my iphone at the moment.

:help:
