Sly_C Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 (edited) alright i was just wondering what a good amount of megapixels is to have in a digital camera. as u can see on the pictures i posted of my case my camera is sad: my camera. and well i want a new one but i don't know what a good megapixel amount is. right now i am running on .3MP, a resolution of 640x380, and 1mb internal memory not good not good at all and well i really only want to spend about $130-$160. any suggestions will be apprecaited edit: is this a good camera, if i was to add some more mem to it? 3.3MP Camera Edited October 19, 2003 by Sly_C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykocus Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 my last camera was only 2mp and it took high enough resolution pictures. the only reason i upgraded was for a camera with more features. i'm saying that because if you don't have a lot of money you probably pick up a older used camera for pretty cheap. personally that camera doesn't have many features for $300. seems like you could get something better. www.dpreview.com has lots (way more then people without OCD need) but still a good place to compare features.

Sly_C Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 what kind of features do u mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykocus Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 many cameras have modes (sports, night, etc) that uses setting to help get the best photos for certain situations, or if you know what you are doing have manual mode for you to set things up the way you want.

ClayMeow Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 2megapixels is fine for most people and most uses. 3megapixel seems to be the norm now though. If you ever wanted to print an 8x10, you'll need a 3. I currently have the Nikon 3100, and know 2 other people personally that have it, and we all love it. Also, others on this site have it and they love it too. It's a great camera! Think you can find it for around $300 now. Check newegg, i'm sure it's cheaper there.

ClayMeow Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 has anyone tried the vivitar 3715?? its a 3.3MP camera and pretty cheap at walmart right now at $132 don't go with crap brands. you'll get what you pay for. Nikon and Canon are the top 2 brands So look for those or Kodak, Sony, Olympus, Fuji. But don't stray from that (some say Hewlett Packard is alright, but i've heard bad things...they don't compare to other cameras of the same specs) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly_C Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 (edited) have u ever used the vivitar? i though they made good cameras anyway one of my friends is buying it to so i may let him buy and see how it is after he checks it out cause i dunno that just seems like a great deal to me. and i don't really need all the features i just want some zoom and a camera that will take a picture that i don't have to mess with a bunch of stuff Edited October 21, 2003 by Sly_C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
