Advice On Cameras...
< on 8/20/2006 6:13 PM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
Well, I'm just starting the art of Urban Exploring.
My brother does it all the time, but he never brings a camera along so i'm wondering what sort of camera should i buy for this.
You can also just post what kind of cameras you guys use, so then i can do some research and just pick a specific camera.


P.S.: When i ask what kind of camera, i mean what kind of digital camera seeing as that's the type i'm most likely going to buy.

How much experience in photography do you have and how much are you willing to spend?

Heres another thread about camera's:

I have good experience with cameras, but I do want a digital that's easy to use and that takes good pictures.
I'm willing to spend up to 200 dollars.

well for 200 dollars you can only really get a point and shoot camera in digital rather than an SLR.

You could defiantly pick up some nice 35mm slr's though with 200.

Go for a point and shoot camera. Then if you think you'd like to get more serious and dedicate more time to photography, go for a more expensive. A basic 5mp digital camera will run you around $150-200.

Yes. You can get a Canon A530 for about 200 dollars, for point and shoots they're pretty nice. The memory cards aren't too expensive (you can get a 256mb for about 25-30 dollars), it'll take short videos, custom exposures, and they're pretty easy to use. I just bought one myself and I'm very happy with it.

That's expensive for such a small card.

I bought a 2 gig cf card from frys a couple months ago for $45.

Canon A series offers manual focus, aperture and shutter speed, as well as aperture/speed priority modes. You can actually do a decent long exposure up to 15 seconds. They're functionally close to DSLR, except the fact that its not a single lens reflex.
