Digital Camera tips ^_^

Keep giving tips, Sunhawk. I really like Gimp, even though I’ve just barely begun to figure it out.

Oh I’m glad that program is working out for you Basilisk ^_^ I’m not terribly familiar with it myself since I use Photoshop, but i know that About.com has a couple of user-created tutorials that may or may not be useful to you ^_^

Hey, I think I want to get a new digital camera for christmas, but I don’t know what kind to get. I think one of the Canon ones. I can probably get my parents to pay at least half way if I get a 500$ one, though I might be able to convince them to get an 800$. Do you guys have any suggestions for what I should get?

I have a canon powershot s100. I don’t like it that much. I can take like 10 pics if I hurry and then the rechargable battery dies. It could be the battery, but I guess it does the job…it is just really fusterating.

Canon Ixus are great cameras. Seriously, I’ve had a HP and used all sorts, and my Ixus remains my favorite. Very user-friendly, even if you don’t want all the fancy programs and functions.

well canon, sony, and samsung are the one’s that I think are the best….mine wasn’t only a few hundred…..and it’s been really great….long battery life….tons of pictures….great zoom and all the other options……

Here is the review for the Ixus(Elph) click the drop down box for the full review http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canondigitalixus/page2.asp

If I had $500 to $800 to spend the Canon EOS 350 would be my purchase http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos350d/
At 8 megapixel and the ability to swap lenses…it would serve you well for a long time…
Here is a picture I took with the Canon EOS 300(6 megapixels) with a 80-200mm lens in low light http://www.caedes.net/Zephir.cgi?lib=Caedes::Infopage&image=onespock-1159755087.jpg

No matter what you end up with…keep a steady hand, take multiple shots from different angles and practice does not make perfect…but it will make you better.
