Definitely going to be going for the one in the first post if I don't get any better suggestions, Seems the best after I've searched some more.
ouch! a 7MP!?!?!?! i feel the pain, i feel the pain. perhaps it is a good thing it died. lol. me being a professional photographer you should have just sent me a message. i can answer you anything you want to know. very well indeed.
After some discussion with Batt on PM (Big thanks there Batt! saved me from buying a bad camera), I've decided to go with the http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nikon-COOLP...56/ref=dp_proddesc_0?ie=UTF8&n=560834&s=photo Looking forward to trying it out!
Now that is an amazing deal... It's just a shame they are never on sale where I live.... I will just have to wait until my grandfather buys a new camera... I think he has a 60D now but I'm not %100 as I haven't seen him use it in ages.
you are quite welcome Josh i'm glad i could help. i have a Nikon, that has 36mp, its worth 4,000$ right now, and that is just the camera, without lenses, i have 4 lenses for it, totaling almost 12,000$ lol it is forever my beast.
Yea... A dude I met at blow carting has a 7000$ lens. He wants an 800 but can't justify spending 17k on one lens XD Edit: he had a cannon 7D I forget the Value of but it shuts weighed a ton compared to mine XD
He told me that once you get into it the stuff pays for itself. He only does it as a hobby but makes a few bucks here and there. I hope that's true or my student loan my be rather hard to pay back with my plans XD
Just bought the one suggested by Batt, along with 2 extra battery's and a 32GB SD card, Coming tomorrow, Looking forward to it.
The lovely snow caused some delays however I received it today and I wasted no time trying this camera out, It's really heavy, but also feels amazing to use, This is the first real picture I took using the Macro mode. It also seems to have the best part of 20 'Scenes' Which seems to pre-configure the camera to what you're taking photo's of, It also has GPS built in, but I probably will not use that as that'll kill the battery in 0.1 phentoseconds.
