Wortel 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2003 What features are you after? High Stoage? Good res? Movie features? Optical zoom? Image quality above all? Well the olympis brand are proberbly the best when it comes to image quality. Happy snapping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evil-zen 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2003 sounds like a downgrade from 3 to 2 mp? i have a olympus 3020 and it is fine enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rameish 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2003 Ablaze, Yes it's gone now. Evil, Yes it's a downgrade. I just need to to take pictures for this website. The C-3000 is too good for that. Would prefer one with a fixed lens (no zoom) 2 megapix, but with a close up function of up to 2 cm. Nevermind I'll check myself. Wortel, Yes Olys are good. I have 3 OM-1N something like 10 Zuiko Lenses etc (used to be into photography about 20 years ago). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2003 I prefer canon.. canon A40 used to rule in 2mp category but I think it's been phased out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wortel 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2003 My Dad has a Canon from work. Really expensive. I had a quick play with it and took picture of the control tower at the airport. Turns out I broke the law There is a law that states no taking picures over australian military installations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ablaze 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2003 I'm not sure there exists cameras with a macro distance of 2cm..of course I could be wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evil-zen 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2003 (edited) nikon camera has 4cm i think. Rameish, check out harvey norman's advertisements on saturdays. sometimes they have really cheap discontinued models for a very low price.

Rameish 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2003 Ablaze, Quite right 2 inches Evil, Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matbon0013 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2003 2-3 inches sounds about right, 2cm is just too close (focal lenght) for any lens to decipher IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rameish 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2003 Actually 2-inches from object to focal plane is very close (in a non-digital camera) as the body and lens alone is about 2 inches. Anyway the C-150 goes to only 0.2 m (200 cm - about 7 inches right?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2003 Did you finally get a new one Rameish? Just thought I'd give this a bump up as I was loaned the office Digital Camera a Nikon CoolPix 3500 for my internal stores audit next month so I took it home to play around first as it was yet to be opened, charged & used! The attached photo was taken just in automatic mode. Pretty nifty for what is a relatively basic 3.2 megapixel digicam. Not sure how much it cost but I believe it belongs in the affordable price range. $500~600? Things I like the best beside the ease of use (point & click, literally & get pretty good results) the rotating lens ala CoolPix 9500. The relatively small size only slightly larger than the Canon Ixus APS cameras which is a plus compared with the gargantual size of the 9500 model. Things that was not so hot is the battery which needs to be removed from the slot inorder to charge it (i.e. no dock to take care of charging & uploads of images to the computer other than plugging the USB cable).
