Looking for a Digitial Camera

Postby SephirothJenova » Tue Mar 09, 2004 11:30 pm

We been shopping around for a good digital camera for the past couple months. We've come across the Fuji FinePix S5000 as one of the best for decent megapixels and it's supreme 10x optical zoom. We found it pretty cheap at Digitaletailer.com, but I was wondering if any of you guys knew a place where we could buy for any cheaper? We want some place that's pretty reliable. We picked digitaletailer.com because they had a lot of reviews from PCWorld.com.

I've been looking at 10X digicams, too, but I'm leaning towards the Panasonic Lumix series because of the lenses they use.

Check out PriceGrabber for latest prices from various stores:

Also, Steve's Digicams is a good site for news & reviews.

I have not ordered from DigitaleTailer. But NewEgg is good, and B&H Photo...mwave.com isn't bad, either.

What kind of memory card does that camera use? We already bought an xD Picture card, so we're kinda limited to our selection of cameras.

The Panasonic's use SD/MMC.

If you're sticking with xD, then as far as I can see, you're limited to models from Fuji and Olympus. Olympus has a 10X (C-730, C-740), but the S5000 is getting some great reviews.
