Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / UK Photography / October 2005New camera time!
Hi I have a Canon 10D, and although I'd love to upgrade to a 5 that is out of the question! I also have a powershot S45 and would like a more wide angle lens....so looking at s70 and s80...any views would be appreciated. There are few reviews yet on S80..is it substantially different? I have been happy with the S45...and like the easy access to manual mode rather than having to go through menus for it....I almost never use the auto picture modes. Also my daughter would like a new camera for her birthday and has fallen in love with the pink Olympus mu s (can't find symbol needed to spell properly!)....called verve in US I think. Has anyone seen /own it & can tell me whether it is a good buy./ She will be 16. Thanks Julie > Also my daughter would like a new camera for her birthday and has fallen > in love with the pink Olympus mu s (can't find symbol One of our youngsters has one. Small, feels durable, excellent photos. Disadvantages, no viewfinder and proprietary battery. >> Also my daughter would like a new camera for her birthday and has fallen >> in love with the pink Olympus mu s (can't find symbol > >One of our youngsters has one.

The Olympus LCD screens are bright and clear. >and proprietary battery. Also not a problem. Spare batteries (off brand) can be purchased on eBay for a fiver plus postage. > >> Also my daughter would like a new camera for her birthday and has fallen > >> in love with the pink Olympus mu s (can't find symbol [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Also not a problem.

Only downside - they have a tendency to be slow, i.e. long shutter lag. -- Woody harrogate2 at ntlworld dot com >> >> Also my daughter would like a new camera for her birthday and has >fallen [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >Only downside - they have a tendency to be slow, i.e. long shutter >lag. That's true of nearly all point and shoot digital cameras, regardless of brand. > >> >> Also my daughter would like a new camera for her birthday and has > >fallen [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > That's true of nearly all point and shoot digital cameras, regardless > of brand. Actually no. The Casios are especially quick - typically 0.5 secs or less from press to take, and the QV-R61 (currently Curry's at 149 or EBuyer at 125) is quoted 10mS, and I can vouch for that being probably right - it is bloody quick! The Canon IXUS50 is also pretty nifty. Now if you want ssslllloooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww try a Nikon compact - 4 secs is not unusual. -- Woody harrogate2 at ntlworld dot com > > >> >> Also my daughter would like a new camera for her birthday and > has [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > harrogate2 at ntlworld dot com film is best m8 Thanks for comments.......Mini Mju it is I think! Any views on Canon S80?? J >> > >> >> Also my daughter would like a new camera for her birthday and >> has [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > film is best m8 |
