Help me get a digital camera!


MESTHREE

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I am trying to buy a digital camera on ebay for not a million dollars and I have no idea what I should get. Id like something that can be used as a webcam with sound. I havent been able to find a decent quality camera that has both these options, atleast 2 megapixel and webcam with sound.

 

Also Id love one with a rechargeable battery but it isnt 100 % necessary.

 

Anyone ideas of what might fit?

 

Oh yah.. If I have a web cam already (I have a shitty one) with no sound can I just get a mic and use that for video conferencing? Anyone Anyone???

 

 

Thanks in Advance!!

i got a CANON A70 3.2 megapixel and i love it.

 

couldnt be happier.

 

easy to use, takes great pictures, its durable... etc.

 

cost me $299 or so when i bought it a few months back, should be able to find it cheaper than that im sure.

Darnit.. ah well what can ya do?

 

I know what I want in a camera. I know what brands are good I just dont now which brand will have all the specs I want.

 

Basicly it MUST have webcam capabilities with sound.... or be able to use a mic with it to video conference.

 

Anyone who knows of any camera like this let me knowwwww.... Or better yet search it out for me on ebay and just post the link :)

 

heh

!google.

 

why dont you stay the fuck out of her thread and mind your own business?

 

whats with you asshole? you already were a dickhead once to her and told her to go to the store, you don't need to let your point of view be known a second time. we saw it the first time you posted.

 

for christ sakes she is just asking for some advice / info from fellow 12ozers.

 

fuck off already.

MES -

 

Check out www.cnet.com -- it's all I use for digital camera research. I've recommended the site to a lot of people, and everyone has been pleased. Here's a direct link to the digital camera section. Use the links on the lefthand side to sort through the cameras..

 

Be sure to check out the user reviews - they provide good insight into the complaints about each camera.

 

Enjoy..

the only reason i reposted it was because s/he talked about it again. i am giving sound advice here numb nuts.

 

 

do i come off as that much of an asshole when im being an asshole that when i make posts actually answering questions you guys think im being sarcastic?

Mes, i think your best bet is to separate your needs in oder to make a good buy. Webcams are so damn cheap that you can get one, and then spend some money on a decent cheap camera. Is there a particular reason you want 2in1?

its not about that.

 

the point is she is asking for advice from people on the board who have digital cameras and have something similiar to what she might be looking for so that they might be able to recommend something to her.

 

ofcourse she could take a list of needs to the fucking store and someone would help her pick something out, but those people are there to make a sale, they really dont care if you get the best camera for your needs, they have their own motives for selecting a certain camera for you.

 

im just sick and tired of you fucks being assholes for no reason (maybe not in this thread but this is the shit yall do in mine as well) and there is no reason for it.

 

its a fucking message board where we all interact with one another, which, in this case is one person asking for some input on digital cameras from others on the board.

 

we wouldn't need the board at all if everyone just went to the store, or looked the info up themselves. (which we all could do if we wanted) instead we ask the people on the board to engage in interaction in hopes of getting some feedback.

 

thats what the fucking board is for.

 

:rolleyes:

They might be there just to make a sale.. but they also know a lot about cameras. If she asks for something specific they aren't going to give her the exact opposite.

 

either way, she is going to have to go to a store at some point anyway. and who cares if she has to spend hours looking at the different cameras? it's better to see shit for yourself than to get the nikon 3billionXZ because somebody on 12oz said so.

Hey thanks for the help to all those who actually gave a real answer. I wanted a 2 in one cause I am trying to just cut costs but I think tess is right that I have to just buy two seperate things....

 

I dont want to go to a store cause I want to buy i on EBAY. Im cool with something refurbished. Anyhow... I think I might go for a fuji finepix or a canon powershot. Havent fully decided yet.

 

 

You know I have asked techie questions on here before and for every eral answer I always expect about 5 bullshit ones so... eh.. Bu thanks for sticking up for me anyhow :)

i paid $380 shipped. its a 6.3 mp.. bad ass camera.

 

 

i highly agree with this. I've played with this camera a bit, it's fairly easy to use, and definitely worth the money. You'd crap your pants at the zoom on this camera alone.. If you steer towards the fuji, get the website from defy. :)
