Which Type of Digital Camera Do You Recommend????

[zsir]

Few digital cameras work well with action shots.....The nikons will allow shutter priority which is good......I have seen people post that the Oly's are better for action shots......

Olympus 3030z/Nikon 990... 32MB buffer... mmmmmm... continuous shooting....

but there are compact flash cards that are USB enabled. just a simple cable, and that's it, you are ready to go... of course this is no better than a reader, but some cards come with this cable.

the 990 is pretty nice... i saw it at pcexpo...

Grafinator: Do you know of any third-party 37mm lenses that will work with the Kodak cameras? (I have the DC280) Are 37mm lenses pretty common, or are they a Kodak-specific type of lens? (I'm used to the Nikon f-mount lenses)

My olympus d-400 (I think its called) has served me fine. Its down to like $400 or less now. Also my uncle's kodak (I don't know the model) looks nice.

hey Sohcan

no, 37mm lens are not very common. My dad's JVC camcorder has a 37mmm mount and he bought some 37mm lens with for it, and one of them is a wide angle. This wide angle cost about 200 bucks, but I have yet to try it on on my camera. when i fly home later this month I am going to try it and see how it works. I have been toying with the idea of trying to get a F-type to 37mm mount specially made with a special adapter to mount on my tripod to support the weight of my nikon lens so the camera adapter is not supporting the weight. This is based off the fact that f-type to c-type mounts work pretty good without corrective lens.

I like my Kodak DC280. It serves me well.

I'll be using the camera for for things than the two I mentioned...everday stuff too.

I'm thinking about the Nikon CoolPix 950, or the Olympus-3000 Zoom.

The Olypmus is over 3mp...compared to Nikons 2mp. Both are around the same price too. What would you guys go with? I like the fact that the Olypmus can shoot video also
