my next door neighbor's ride.
hey all i am looking at getting a simple point and shoot camera for the gf for x-mas. I am looking at the canon sd630. I could have gotten it the other day for $100 off but i decided to keep shopping, now i am kicking myself for not getting it. the price is back to around 300 with deals at 250. I would like to spend $250 or under. Any suggestions on good cameras? Her needs would be something that she can carry in her purse so that it is small and thin, i don't think that she would use a viewfinder much but use the lcd instead, i would imagine she wont use the manual settings much if at all, good image quality in all types of situations. Anyone have any suggestions? i think that the sd630 has about everything i want and seems like a really nice camera that is about the right size. anyone own one or use one??

it's not hard to learn. remember, exposure is always a balance between aperture, shutter speed and ISO. learn in MANUAL mode. it's the only way to force you to learn how those three things are balanced. usually ISO settings don't even need to be adjusted... so really, it's aperture and shutter speed. then move onto things like composition, lighting techniques, angles, etc.

remember, it's all for fun... and it shouldn't be intimdating. if it's still intimidating there's something wrong with him and you should donkey punch him.
That's how I learned back then. I read the manual over and over again to my camera, and then I used to hit the library, and read books. I was into photorgrophy like I'm into cars now, and dreamed of working for National Geographic.k-lea said:
I would have to re-learn all that stuff again now since it's been so long, but more and more of it comes back to me when I have to think about it.
I would love to get my hands on a Nikon F5, or F6,and for digital, one of the new Nikon D80's.

I still remember simple technics on how apeture affects sharpness for foreground abnd background, and also what ISO's to use for what lighting conditions. Lower lighting or fast photography usually = a higher ISO. Shutter speed will control how much light the film gets. Be aware of how much light you have. I have more, but I'm hungry.

Wrong, wrong, WRONG! When using a frame that looks like a negative a PRO photog never uses the #6 frame...its always #19. I've known that since I was like a kid.
Seriously, Javo, the image is excellent: colorful, well composed, well balanced. The negative-like frame is good, but I find it works best on B&W images and/or with more then 1 frame. These are really nits, however, the picture really is good.
Which lens should I get?
Ok guys and gals, it's almost Christmas and so I'm thinking my business needs to give me an early bonus in the form of a lens (I'm self-employed). As an amateur I'm wanting a good telephoto zoom lens. I've narrowed it down to 2 choices (though I'm leaning heavily in favor of one of them):
Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM $560
or
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM $550
I must admit I'm really wanting the L lens, but are the optics and convenience of the L lens worth the sacrifice of an extra 100mm and IS? The majority of what I shoot is handheld so you would think that I would want the IS lens, but I'm just stuck on that L. It's like "do I want a Mercedes C230 or a loaded Ford Five Hundred?"
What do you think?
BTW - I'm shooting on a Canon Digital Rebel XT (350D)
