Ok...i have a problem - i know every little about digital cameras and me researching it myself is a bit meh too since i get confused! So heres the deal! I had a nikon 3100 but i beat it to hell and i loved the pictures it took (great great for wakeboarding close ups real clear) I still have it but the bottom part that holds the batteries in stays half open. Anyways then i got a Sony 4.1 cybershot - which took decent pics at a normal range but it wasnt as clear close up or zoomed in as my Nikon was. I leave in a week for quite a few trips and was gonna get yet ANOTHER camera before i left, any suggestions? I need this for all arounds uses - close up, normal, dusk, active (wakeboarding), etc. Any help is greatly appreciated! Merci!

If you don't mind about size get the Panasonic FZ20. It's got one of the best lenses available on a point and shoot digital and has some more features especially for action shots.

A slightly smaller version of the FZ20 is the FZ5 which is a little less as good but maybe better for you as it has faster focusing (good for action shots).

I know that you are stupid and from Georgia so that's 2 strikes against you already. You repulse me.

You're like Paris Hilton, except she is a tiny bit attractive, at least.

I'm so sorry sublime. I know that you are still crying over your spilled pokerjo milk. You don't want to believe that your other online girl-crush could be a male as well.

I'll bet you your bankroll peachy's a girl.

Dead

That would be a stupid bet for me, because you wouldn't be making it unless you were one of the people who knew for sure she was. And my bankroll is not big anyway.

Regardless, peachy is still a dumb bitch.

i actually read your reply to peachy and i have to say you a piece of [censored]. sure, the girl is somewhat annoying (sorry peachy) but you should not talk to a female like that. maybe if it wasnt for the gorie incident i wouldnt have noticed but you obviously have issues with women. what was it? did your mom diddle you? ot totally ignore you cuz she was drunk and having sex with the mailman. your a waste of skin. die.

I've never met peachy in real life, and have only talked to her here on 2+2 with no pms. The offer still stands.

Dead, if I were a mod, I would ban you. You keep coming into threads that have nothing to do with you, and that you have nothing to contribute to, and destroy them. Ignoring you is not enough because others insist on replying, which really just contributes to it.

Wacki, how is Dead not trolling in this post? I think you should forward to Mat for banning possibilities...

I don't care for Dead, but completely harrassing someone is lame.

Nobody is going to be banned for attacking a few posters. However numerous attacks/trolling with little/no forum contributions will not be allowed.

A message for dead. Clean up your act and stop trolling now.

The NY Times had a really excellent article on digital cameras a month or two ago. I'd highly recommend you do a search there. It was an extensive article with detailed comparisons of color balance in cameras, sharpness, features, etc. Much of the concentration was on two higher end cameras, a Canon and a Nikon, and there were plenty interesting things said about why you would want or not want both. Well worth the search.

*EDIT* woops looks like you already made your decision. That was fast!

There are many posters who insult others in OOT. However, they do contribute to the forum so their rudeness is generally overlooked. You sir, as far as I can tell, contribute nothing. Judgement calls will have to be made as strict rules won't cut it in this situation. All decisions are reversible but not all of them will be reversed.

Yes, I've noticed that anonymous posters have a problem with fear... some more than others.

Wow! Now I kind of regret I put Dead on ignore a couple of weeks ago. I think I'll unignore him within minutes. I just have to see what he said... /images/graemlins/cool.gif
