Beginner camera?

[sleepys4]

Jecht, I have two, not one but two, Canon A540 Powershot cameras. The manual settings on this camera are more than even I know. I took it to JaimeCBR when I first got it and he couldn't believe the features it had. You can pick it up off Ebay all day long for $120/shipped. And this includes 4 rechargeable batteries, a battery charger, 1 or 2gb SD card. That's why I bought two. My wife has the other one. Later, QD.

Yea i have also owned this camera takes amazing pictures. It was fairly cheap when i bought mine also. It was a while ago now, I still miss that camera. Used it for years then gave it away to my mom when I bought my Dslr.

For my first camera I went ahead and purchased a DMC-FZ15 from Panasonic.

Main reason was the 12x optical zoom + manual focus ring. The lumix lense was a plus! I wanted something that was close to DSLR without the price and easy to use.

Takes great pictures compared to the other cameras I was considering at the time.

I did a whole bunch of reading and looking at pics posted at http://www.dcresource.com/


So definately do your research!
Not to do a plug but if you'd like it I will probrably be selling it soon along with my smaller Canon A510 to purchase an actual SLR camera. Let me know if you'd be intrested!
