RockinHrse_98 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Kodak is going out of business and you can get some good cameras for fairly cheap at bestbuy and stuff. Downside is you wont have a warranty I dont guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Are you looking for a "Point and Shoot" or "DSLR" camera? You can't go wrong with Canon or Nikon. I'm not much of photography person but two of my friends went to school for it and are very knowledgeable. One will only use Canon and the other with only use Nikon. That debate can be as intense as the 5.0 vs 4.6 debate lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 price range? i dont really have a price range cause tbh i have never even bought a camera, lol. i dont really know what they go for. just one that takes clean shots and no fn little dots everywhere, lol. the pics i take with my cell dont even look the same as what i was looking at. it almost seems like it screws up the shapes of things. so what's an average price on an easy to use camera. digital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I recently bought a Canon EOS Rebel T3 and it's an amazing camera. I literally look for excuses to photograph things now lol.With the camera, an extra lens, UV filters, camera bag and tripod I was into it nearing $1k but honestly it's worth every penny.

Tony Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 ^those pics of your car solo from mustang week i think, are those ones you took with that camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I wasn't at Mustang Week, maybe you mean Carlisle? I bought the camera after Carlisle. Those pictures were taken by Ryan (prokiller) and Rich (95opal), I'm not sure what cameras they have but maybe they'll chime in soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT Rob Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 First off, what camera do you have right now?I'm using a "point and click" Kodak z712is that I bought about 5 years ago. It will do 7.1mp pictures, 10x optical zoom, and so far, it's managed to take great pictures. Yea, it's a cheap camera, but it does the job. You might try cleaning the lens of your camera. If there are fingerprints all over it, it will make the pictures fuzzy. If you don't have a steady hand, that can cause fuzziness, as well.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 yea that's right. carlisle, those pics came out so flawless and clean. showed detail that alot of cameras dont show. anyway i am going to bestbuy later and talking to someone in the know about cameras and snatching one. maybe then i can get some more realistic shots of my car and no more disfigured weird shit, lol...

Det_Riot Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 You don't need to drop coin on a brand new camera if you dont have too. The "seasonal photoshoot" pictures of my car were taken with Body: Canon XSILense: EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 ISThe camera is an older model and still holds it own. I didn't take the pictures clearly but I've heard that it's more about the lens than the body.Here's the page regarding my pictures if you wanna take a lookhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/mtchbx/7868188152/meta/in/photostream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo4roush99 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Here is a short list from a comparison on PC World.Com's site.http://www.pcworld.com/article/165370/point_shoot_and_save_best_cameras_around_200.htmlI use a Nikon D3000 for my pics, but I also use a 15 year old Kodak Easyshare when I want to carry a pocket size or its wet out and they both do a pretty good job.You probably cant go wrong at $300 or less on a name brand point and shoot.

LOL. Cell phones are crap for taking good pictures. They have NO optical zoom, it's all digital, and it's such a tiny optical shutter, they struggle to take really good pictures. They are ok, in a pinch, but I'd rather just carry my camera with me. I sent you a PM answering your questions, with a few recommendations on "point and shoot" cameras.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slykin Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Tony, if you said you have the same phone as me (Samsung Eternity), then dang, GET A CAMERA lol. You aren't joking when you say the camera sucks on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
