long time listener first time caller,

 

I'm probably looking for film but wouldn't mind an affordable slr ( I earn £200 a month ). I'm not looking to get anywhere with photography I just need a way of recording things I see and want to draw, paint, and use.

 

I prefer film in all honesty and it would be easier to use as my netbook broke and I don't have a lot of access to computer equipment any more.

 

so if anyone could give me an idea of what to look for, it would be appreciated as i don't really know shit about this shit.

In the long run a cheapo DSLR will prove to be less expensive than a film SLR, but here's a suggestion - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canon-EOS-Rebel-G-Automatic-Film-Camera-35-80mm-Zoom-Lens-Extras-PAYPAL-/160739712048?pt=Digital_Cameras&hash=item256cd55c30#ht_590wt_932

Hey, so i thought this would be the best place to ask.

i'm going to the Caribbean next month and wanted to get a camera that can take under water pictures, i don't want any thing fancy or too expensive so i was wondering if any of you had experience with that or recommendations?

Panasonic FT10 (Being replaced with an FT20)

 

Olympus TG-320

 

Olympus TG-810 (More rugged model, 10m waterproof, better locks)

 

If you do want to go for the top of the waterproof range. The Panasonic FT3 is good, being replaced with an FT4. Nikon AW100 also has good image quality, but is less solid then the Panasonic. Not as bulky though.

 

Stay away from Fuji waterproof, they suck, they will leak. Also Canon, they are overpriced and look like shit.

so i gave up on the waterproof cameras, figured i'm not gonna be using it that much and i wanted a decent all around camera for cheap so i picked this canon elph300 up yesterday, i really like it so far, haven't done much though, i'll post some pics in the photo thread when i get a chance.

After reading countless reviews, keeping up on firmware updates, and lurking forums daily for the last few months, I finally went to a camera store to actually check out an X100 today. Only fiddled around with it for about 20 minutes, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to go for it in the next week or so. Still a very quirky camera, but they've been steadily improving/fixing a lot of the issues in firmware updates. It was actually smaller than I had been thinking all along too, which is a nice bonus, since I'd like it to be my every day carry camera. I struggle with pulling the trigger on expensive purchases though, so I'm still not positive.
