Any Good Digital Cameras/Camcorder ??
13 years ago
Getting myself a b-day gift and since my own camera wont hold a charge for two photos,is useless with its flash on, and blurs to all hell if anything moves I'd rather not get a new battery and just get something newer.
I don't have alot to spend so while I'm sure the $400 ones are dandy I'm just after something decent not amazing.
I want to get one primarily for my rats...I hate that all my videos of my babies are less then 30 seconds and the photos are a luck or no luck thing. I cant keep them forever but by god I want to keep something of them forever.
I wanted to get a flip camera way back but they died RIGHT when I got the funds..very upsetting. I've been looking at the Sony Bloggie but its reviews aren't shining so yeah, anyone have something they would recommend ?
Also in other news I haven't talked about the thing I got for christmas. Its soft, white and needed a home. A PEW baby rat. Someone at dads work put up a paper trying to find homes for their surprise litter and dad took one of the boys a few weeks ago and hid him at the neighbors to quarantine (they helped with Rook to). I might name him Krampus, partly since its Christmas themed, partly due to PEWS undeserved "evil" look, and partly since I think its a adorable name. Might make it more KRUMpus since , makes me think of Krumm from Aaahh real monsters. Which is likly what I'll shorten it to like I call Toodles - Toods.
He wasn't sure I would be ready for one so soon after losing Smee but wanted to help the woman out and help me get thru the depression I got in. Baby animals need so much time its really hard to curl up and ignore the world. I've never had a rat with pink eyes and I'm quite smitten with him, hes a sweet thing. Starting one by one intros to my boys and first one went amazing, he zoomed under their bellys and they couldn't care less even my dom boy Nibs. Its easier to add babes to groups then older boys so while he looks like a mouse next to my pudgy kids He should be ok, slow and steady.

http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerSh...../dp/B009B0MZ1M Just at your 400$ mark. This is probably as good as your going to get without going into SLR territory. 24-1200mm is kinda almost more than you'd ever need!..Almost... A investment that you wont have to upgrade in a long time. Plus the thing looks like a porn star when its all the way zoomed in. 50x optical zoom.
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerSh.....887&sr=1-9 This is a step down in optical zoom, options, price. ~250$ 30x optical zoom.
http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerSh.....08&sr=1-16 Another step down but more like a point and shoot, something you can keep in your jacket pocket and not have a big bulge. ~150$ 16x optical zoom.
I have to figure out what I'm able to spend on me but the second one looks tempting! I dont need anything extream since its mostly for my rats odd as that sounds.
Thank you very much for the links and info on them. <3
thinking of it, the price has probably gone down more since i got mine, since there's a newer model out now. i hope this helps ^.^
browse around on amazon and check reviews for point and shoots and you'll be able to find something cheap and decent with a good rating. also go out to a store and look at a few different models. you can usually feel the difference in quality when you see and feel it in person. and that way you're not surprised or disappointed by what you get if you order one online.
Thanks much I'm half sure I'm getting one of the newer powershots.
