This P&S is amazing. My aunt has it. It works very well and takes great pictures. MSRP is $329. Can be had for right around $200. http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Produc...PIX-S9100.html

That is the first step in taking better photos, recognizing the camera is only the tool, a really good photo only comes from a good photographer.

Yoy can take very nice photographs with "regular" cameras. You just have to follow the parameters of that camera. JMH2CW

Re: Photography Thread
 

What do you want to spend and would you consider something besides Nikon?

Re: Photography Thread
 

Aw nuts - found the charger for my p&s, guess no upgrade for this trip

Re: Photography Thread
 

I'm actually torn between 3 now. The Nikon S9100, S8200 and the Canon XS230 HS. I want $250 or less. Canon and Nikon only.

Re: Photography Thread

Very cool Justin. One thing to keep in mind is if you dont need the GPS on to tag stuff I would switch it off especially indoors. It tends to eat up battery. Other than that its an awesome camera.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Nice! I think you'll be happy with that P&S :tu

Re: Photography Thread
 

I actually got the Canon elph 300 hs. Wanted somethin real easy to pocket

Re: Photography Thread
 

Aaaaaaanndddddd....I returned it :r
I give up on P&S cameras. Nothing was "wrong" with the camera. I just have come to the conclusion that I want to be able to have control of the camera. I apparently do not like the auto and program modes. I don't seem to get the same enjoyment.

Re: Photography Thread
 

You can put them on Manual. I know it's not the same, but I take a lot more pics with my P&S.

Re: Photography Thread
 

I understand not being happy with a point and shoot anymore. I have acouple in the house for my kids. But I need my DSLR to get the picture that I want.

Re: Photography Thread
 

The ELPH 300 HS does not have any manual mode. I tried to like it.
Yep. I just put that money toward this puppy

I love Macro. Have fun.

Re: Photography Thread
 

I was torn between a fisheye and a macro lens. I chose macro because I figured I would get the most use out of it.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Good choice. I would avoid circular fisheye lenses in general. Instead look into a wide angle lens that wont distort the picture immensely. Somewhere in the 14mm-17mm range on the short side would wrk well. Canons 17-40mm ƒ4 is reasonably priced and great quality.

What it comes down to is choosing the lens for what you shoot the most. :D
