Guys,

There have been several good quality photos on the board, not to mention the few that Sexy puts up. So, I am curious what Cameras (small and average, no puns intended). Pro and Amature make sense. You may want to include the secrets to getting those best upclose and friendly photos. If you can post a few examples and tell us the secrets to getting the good bar shots done. Ring the bell for please. Thanks and tell us what you got and how well it does for you.

Last 2 times I was in LOS I had a Fuji S3500 with me. Decent camera with some good features. I had a problem that I would actually try and use some of those features instead of leaving well enough alone when I was drinking though.

I'm not taking that one this time as I want something smaller that I can fit in a pocket so I went out before Christmas and purchased a A510 buy sticking with fuji all of my camera toys still work with this camera and they use the same memory cards so I still have over 1gb of memory to take with me.

Well believe it or not I'm completly average when it comes to photos! Yes I take care in what I do, think about how the photo will look etc. Not just point &

shoot! But I'm not in the class of esteemed board members sa-teef & globetrotter

The camera I used last trip took some ideal great photos l

The camera used was a 650 easyshare by kodak under £200

That was a bit bulky to carry around sometimes although it took good pictures!

Much more compact & good to carry around

Last trip i had a casio exs600, this camera is ultra slim , easy to use, relatively durable , large screen, fast ( dont have to wait a second between shots) . It also takes amazing closeup video considering its compact size . The batterie last a long time as well, usually 200 + pics on a single charge . I picked it up at Costco for about 200cad . Unfortunatly i got drunk here whilst out on the town and seemed to have misplaced it .


I will definetly have a replacement in hand before my return to patts , probably the exs770 , its basicly the same camera just a bigger screen and more megapixels

i use the sony DCCW7, excellent photos but i have heard the T-10 is better, and it's slimmer.cant seem to find any photos at minute, but some are dotted in threads, looking for thai smile thread has mine in it.

i use hitachi DVD camera for the videos, i want a sony HD cam though and am thinking about purchasing one out there.

Monkeywatch pics are from a Canon IXUS 50.

I take a Canon SD630 when I'm walking around . It's a multi feature, pocketsize camera that I've had good results with. For in room shots I use a Canon 20D SLR which I am not totally qualified to put to it's best use. I tried to add a couple of pics but could'nt. I'll work on that later. It can't be that hard.

I use the Canon Digital Rebel XTi. Fully compatible with all the EOS lenses, great for point-and-shoot as well as more advanced functions. Very rugged, good waranty.

DRebel XTi is a heck of a camera, I've got one (and have had an original DRebel for about 3 years before that) but have never wanted to take a camera that bulky to Thailand when traveling on my own and NOT primarily there for the sightseeing as I figured it was a bigger theft risk than something pocketable and would likely intimidate the puying rather more. Debating bringing the DRebel this time as at least I'd just be losing the spare.

I'm very fond of my smaller camera (Canon S60) which has gotten some very good results and cost all of about $250 which is what one lens costs for the SLRs.

The camera I use is a Fuji F30. I'll post a couple pix from it when I announce tomorrow's Mad Hatter's Party at TQ2 in just a moment.

New to this forum so still searching for the right section to make a party announcement ...

The Fuji takes excellent pictures in low lighting conditions and is a breeze to use. All the menus are very intuitive and you can be taking great pix with it within seconds of putting in the battery and memory card. To take truly fantastic pix under conditions will take some practise and knowledge of the camera (still working on this) but the learning curve shouldn't be too bad at all.

I bought a Canon Elixim 7.2 megapixel digicam about 12 months ago and I love it! Point/shoot and forget! Best camera I've ever owned.
