I am looking for the best digital camera in my range. I will be doing a lot of artistic capturing, outdoors, nighttime. Which will entail close ups, stuff like that. I’m looking to spend at most up to $580. Anyone have recommendations for my camera quest?
This website will help you out - http://www.dealtime.com/GS2/GS2Stat...ink=0&keyword=dv_camcorders&nParentFormID=410 It has a big variety of Digital camcorders to choose from.
I would strongly recommend the Sony DSC-P5, which may now be an old model, but I have been using it for 4 months. It has some very useful features and if you buy the 128MB memory stick you can store well over 1000 pics, or over an hour of MPEG (low quality) video! It even has an underwater case available, which I have tested and is fab! It is the only camera I know of with a proper commercially available underwater kit. Because it was designed to also work with this, it has some additional features which will help you with close up and night shots, as you mentioned (it can get very dark down there!). It costs around $400. Good luck. Paul.
