Whats up homies. Ive decided on the gift for my GF's birthday; a digital camera. She was banging on about wanting one of crystal clear clarity for her artwork (take pictures of things pretty closeup, then oil paint them, to cut story short). I have around 180 pounds ($355 USD) and I have to use www.ebuyer.com since it has the delivery of gods and accepts paypal I have my eyes on the following : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/133118 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132874 What I/she wants is a camera that shoots CRYSTAL clear, no blur or shitty darkness. It needs to be top quality because she will be using it for work. could nforce deliver some info? troll detected by SiN

I used http://www.cameras.co.uk/ last time I was researching a camera. Fuji S8000: Review Test Shots Panasonic DMC FZ18 Review Test Shots My cameras getting on a bit now, a Sony DSC2 12x zoom. If you're getting an 18x - get a tripod!

You can't beat a true digital SLR imo.

I couldn't afford one, so went with the Sony.

You want to be clear as to what kind of shots you want to take,
Eg; in the fuji review

Quote:

Macro
For close up shots the Finepix S8000 has a super macro mode. This allows you to get in as close as 1cm from the subject. The camera manages to produce a sharp and clear close up shot.

Just what you need for 'water on leaves' etc.

However, the Panasonic has it on full zoom and low-light.

If you want it all, you'll have to dig deep/save and get the SLR Wink

[Eidt] I almost forgot, use you favourite tool to find picturecode's 'noise ninja' (for photoshop).

Take a look at the Nikon D40, much cheaper and it's one of the best digital cameras on the market.

I have a Nikon D50 myself, and the quality is amazing Smile

Now would be a good time to buy a 400D because they are now switching to the newer 450D, which only has a few improvements over the 400. (2 extra mega pixels, bigger screen and live view[!])

Guys, take pictures with your cams and post them, so that he can choose the right one.

Thanks for that post compubrain. That Nikon looks about perfect balance of value/quality for what she needs. 270 for an SLR camera is spot on. I am still on the fence with the Canon 400d however. I will see how much money I can scrape together ; this will probably decide more than anything. troll detected by SiN
