35mm Digital Cameras

[Bleys]

I'm thinking of buying a 35mm digital camera as I used to be into photography some years ago but then lost the interest and all my gear.

Anyone got any thoughts or recommendations?

I'd have a look there and then find a site that sells them (as it is often cheaper on the net) and compare prices.
IMO.

thanks for the tip - I keep thinking I should get into Ebay, cause I've got lots of *junk* to sell.

[Bleys]

Wow - I've just been looking and some of that stuff is cheap :)

I got a FinePix A605, which was a Christmas pressy. I think it wasnt that expensive and Carlo got it quite cheapily on the net( think it was around the price of £85-00)I havent completley got the gist of it yet,will have to read the instuctions more thoroughly. It says on the box to fefer to Fuji film website- http://home.fujifilm.com/products/digital/ I hope this is some help?

I've already got something similar (a Canon). I'm looking to get one that's more like the S series on that web page. Don't want to spend too much money though.

Digital SLR's are still very expensive, you can get some quite sophisticated 35mm compact style cameras - depends what kind of photography you are doing I suppose. You'd be wise to try out the cameras you like the look of if possible, as digital still seem to suffer from shutter-lag, which is frustrating when your trying to do action photography for example.
I'd better stay away from ebay for the moment - too tempting!! All that film camera gear going cheap as people switch to digital.

In general my photography is landscapes - so I don't have the same problem as you do Col.

I have become frustrated with the limitations of my compact so I want to go back to 35mm proper. I am realising now that it's going to cost so I'll have to ask my missus nicely as it's nearly my Birthday.

I've been doing some research on t'internet this morning and I think I'll go and see if I can find a shop with a Canon EOS 350D to have a play with, if I buy one though I'll probably come back online to get a cheaper price

Asda are currently doing the Agfa Finepix E500 (I think that's the no) for 149 & it comes complete with 16mb XD card AND an additional 64mb card too.

We have an earlier model (330) at work & it's excellent.

I'm on the lookout for a nice camera myself.

Let me get this straight Bleys, are you after a digital SLR? No such thing as digital 35mm, and you refer to 35mm rather than digital in some of your posts

I'm getting confused.

[Bleys]

Sorry Col. I was confusing terminology - mainly 'cause I don't know that much about digital. It's a digital SLR I'm after - hence the inteest in the Canon I mentioned above
