Going Camera hunting today....

Posted by juanital (My Page) on

here's the interesting possibilites....

Canon 40d
Nikon D80 or D40 with two lens
Olympus E510 with 2 lens
a faster P&S, thinking maybe Panasonic FZ18

I decided after reading reviews the only way to decide is having it in my hands...I know i fell for the D40, i've tried in store...

My concern is shutter lag and fast focus...I know a few have been added to someones collection here...so would like to know how these fare to you in these concerns of mine...

I will not be making a decision today...but I got a little xtra money and it is itching for a new camera...waiting for a long while(it seems) to upgrade...

RE: Going Camera hunting today....

Juanita, if you do a lot of low light photography, don't consider the Panasonic. They are notorious for noisy photos in low light. P & S cameras are all guilty, but for some reason the Panasonics seem to be worse. (Saw the thread with your GS eating an apple and you complained about the grainy low light shots.) LOL, I took some bird shots on a dark, snowy day and the snow looks like it has confetti sprinkle over it. DSLR's don't have that problem.

Good luck with your shopping.
