I swear, I’ve been researching cameras for what seems like an eternity now. I want a DSLR - but I can’t afford it right now; but yet - I can’t afford much of anything. I rely too heavily on my credit cards …
Anyway, I sorta decided that I want to spend less than $150 right now on my new camera. Honestly anything is better than the one I currently have which is only 2.5 pixels. My husband’s phone is 3.0 pixels!! So, I found a cute camera with 8 pixels, 3x zoom and some other neat things for only $99 at WalMart. It’s pink also; although I don’t think I want a pink camera. I think it came in silver also though. But, I really, really, really want a DSLR!! I want the Rebel!!! Grr.
Any one I pick though I will need a new memory stick for. My old Sony takes one kind, and all the new ones take anything from SD, to xD to mini SD! My phone takes the mini SD and I have a little plastic thingy (see how techy I am?) that converts the mini to a regular SD. BUT: the guy working the camera booth at the Exchange said that you can’t use those plastic converter thingies in cameras. Again, GRR.
I guess I will just get the stupid pink camera and start saving my penny’s for the Rebel. Maybe in 10 years I can afford it. Blah.
You know, another great camera that has almost DSLR results is the Canon S3IS or even the S2IS which I imagine has come way down in price by now.
I have the S3 and it’s really awesome. I refuse to get rid of it even though I have the DSLR now.
And I hear you on not being able to afford it. Technically I can’t either. I used interest free easy pay on QVC. LOL They have Rebels, too!
