ThatsSomeBadHatHarry:
Hi all, I'm in the market for a digital camera and i'm in the price range of 600 bucks (not including housing or any other accessories for that matter. just the camera.) wondering if anyone could make any suggestions on cameras to look into.
thanks
How serious do you intend to be about photography?
How often do you dive, what sort of shots are you interested, Wide angle or macro?
Will the size of your setup matter at all??
It is possible to find a dslr (body + kit lens) for 600 (Nikon D50, Canon Digital Rebel XT/350D) but the housing, strobes, ports, lenses will run you substantially more than that......
I have a feeling that you're thinking of a compact camera with that price range?
If so i'd recommend the Canon powershot series, Fuji E900, Olympus SP-350 or something in that range.....
Catherine a D100 and housing for that price is a steal!
I actually think that you could get a bit more than that......
You should take a look at the D70 which will be quite reasonable as Christmas approaches or take a look at the D80 (basically a D200 in different clothing
).......
Cheers.
