Digital Camera Equipment. THE Help and discussion thread.
Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2004 3:22 am
Iam looking for a digital camera and would rather take a recommendation than 'advice' from well meaning websites/shops out to sell me a camera.
My requirements?
SLR - without bells and whistles.
as long as it has aperture/shutter speed settings, flash attachment and interchangeable lenses and basic metering - thats all! (think of an old zenith, practica or pentax K-1000 and put a digital sensor in it)
I dont need multiple metering modes, auto exposure, autofocus, movie mode, delay, 'motor drive' etc etc.
Failing that can anyone recommend a non slr type with a fairly flexible zoom lens?
Finally (for now) what sort of minimum resolution is acceptable for publication (is this the megapixels part - I am still behind with the lingo)
