Nathan of the cameras you listed D70 best bet. Don't overlook Pentax *istD or Olympus E-1. Olympus will require a flash so you won't have to worry about a "wimpy" on camera flash.Hey guys, a while back Pat McCleave asked for your digital camera recommendations, and got a lot of good advice. I'm looking for the same kind of help.
I am technology friendly, so buttons and features are cool, not scary. I'm adept at PhotoShop, so post processing is taken care of.
I want speed, and versatility, which leads me to SLR's. I'm currently torn between a Sigma SD9, Nikon D70, Canon EOS 300/10D/20D, or something used, like the Canon D60.
My kind of shooting: - Young Kids at play. - Scenery, for vacations, hiking, camping, etc... - Photojournalism, for soaring events, parties, etc... - Action shots for capturing gliders in the air, launching, turning, etc... - 99.5% of my images are destined for web, 0.5% for print
Things I want: - SPEED - crystal clear images, like these: http://www.f3f.co.uk/knewt/vkr2004/ - Compact. I'm figuring two decent lenses, but no more. - Low bulk - I'm sure the plastic bodied EOS 300 is for me, and the 10D is much bulkier than the D70, but there are also other considerations... - Decent flash, built in. - USB 2.0 or firewire - I'm memory format agnostic. I own a few of each already :-)
Things I don't want: - Shutter lag - wimpy flash - USB 1.0 - obsolete lens technology - limited lenses & accessories
So with all that, what are your recommendations? and why? If you have made a similar decision, what was the deciding feature for you? What features do you still wish for or love the most? What do you like the least?
I appreciate your responses, and will tabulate and publish the results of
the feedback I receive.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan Woods
