Thread: Which Digital Still Camera?

http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/digi...3_reviews.html

Read the comments here, mine is one of them.

Kodak burned us too, we went to Olympus.

We have had a couple of Kodaks but when they wouldn't sell me a new battery door they lost me.
They wanted me to send the whole camera & $45 to sydney for a quote.
I told them to get faqed.

After paying $1000 for a camera which is now dead with a gear failure that they refuse to repair.................Faqed is too good for them.

Sony Cybershot DSC-P10

Works well - takes good pix - had it since July 2004 - no probs at this stage - nor am I expecting any.

Kodak would surely be aware of the negative feelings re the quality of their product and service - If it were me I would be a little worried.

Yes have been looking at the Cybershot.

What Kodak offered was a similar performance camera at about $150 off full price. ie a $550 camera for $400. Still meant paying $350 to get back to where I was after spending $1000. Seems to me a design fault like this should have been recalled.

Can you claim it on your household insurance? You might have to drop it down the toilet...accidentally.. :eek:

HH.

Sounds unethical? Buuttttttttttttttttttttttt................................

My first camera was a Kodak and it was returned within the first week and told them to it was a piece of sh#t and wanted a different one and that went back as well and got a Samsung instead which has been great

Local news has reported a plop in Werribee :eek:

Friend of mine had all sorts of problems with an Olympus DSLR (which Olympus did fix), I have a Fudgy S7000, which suits me as it's a bulky camera for my huge paws.
No interchangeable lens but I live with that.
My old Kodak 1.3mp is still going strong and has survived 4 school camps, must have gone downhill since this model.
Always known as the Yellow Peril, never use Kodak film because it is too temporamental.
Kodak used to put their name on Chinon 35mm cameras, and they were crap.

Seems that every shop I ask has had problems with Kodak service, a lot don't stock them for that reason.

Loved my little Olympus Trip 35 such a solid performer, if the digital are anywhere near as good I might go that way.

You have my attention! A couple of weeks ago t'was my eldest sons' graduation in Melbourne. I used his digital camera ( a Fuji Finepix) to do the proud dad taking graduation pics thing. It is some time since I owned a camera of any sort and I have decided that I need a digital......
Now I have severe budgetary constraints due to her indoors not being there anymore and I need something simple for an old fart to understand, I also need something that might allow for my trembling, wobbling old body.
SUGGESTIONS PLEASE..

Canon have a camera with stabilization technology but it might be cheaper to have a couple 'steadiers'.

MOnopod, I use one for the video camera to get nice steady pan shots without all the amateur wobble, works for a still camera too and is compact.
