Digital Cameras

6 messages · last activity 12/3/2005

I'm going to be looking for a new digital camera after the holidays and was wondering what people were using to take tattoo pics. I'm looking for anything above 3.2 Megapixel, around the $300-$350 range. So far, I'm digging the Fuji Finepix S5100, but I'm open to suggestion. Who's happy with theirs and why? Do you have any samples I can see? I've used my piercers sometimes, and the colors just look too unrealistic for whatever reason, so color and clarity are obvious choices. Also I must add, I prefer the chunkier SLR looking ones instead of the slimline ones because my hands are larger than average, and the small ones tend to move when I push the button. Any information would be of GREAT assistance. Thanks
panasonic fz5 by far 450.00 best bang for the $
im also looking to get a new camera and am prone to using sony.Just yesterday i found what i was looking for its a sony cyber-shot 200 its $369.00 at walmart and is a 7 megapixel!!! Yes i said 7, I now have a sony cyber shot 3 megapixel that works great but just want to step it up to a bigger better pixel.....
I think I'll be sold on the S5100 by Fuji- A guy I know just bought one and it is exactly what I'm looking for, it came to just under 300beans with a 128mb memory card and tax. 4 megapixels, 10xoptical zoom, and the pics look as good as if it were an SLR. Now to just come up with an extra $300..... Thanks for your input. I looked at that Panasonic a while back, its definitely a sweet camera.
I have the sony 7.2 megapixel cybershot and its great. Lots of upgrades for it out there.
I looked at that Sony, and some friends of mine have the same one, but it's too small for these cromagnon hands.
