Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
no no noooo 
I CAN’T buy a professional camera my parents are gonna flip out and plus I feel bad asking for so much especially when I’m still only in highschool…For right now, I just need a good point and shoot that I can take around everywhere…
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
I’d still say go for the D40.. u can get a part time job to offset the cost if that’s the only issue..
otherwise here’s a very good deal plus the option of getting a 2GB SD card free after MIR
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
The flash range is only 3.5 m 
I wish you could build your own camera with all the perfect features on it online…like how Dell does for computers.
PA, also I don’t think I should buy such a “baby” SLR right now because I’ll most likely be buying a real nice Nikon or Canon SLR in about a year, maybe two. So for now, I’ll just buy a point and shoot and this will be my last one.
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
I'll vote for S9600. I used it & results were amazing, I might be buying this one in a month or two.
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
the flash range is pretty much normal for what’s available with P&S today. If u need more u can always go with something like this
or just do what’s actually required.. bump up the ISO.. again.. u can put lipstick on a pig but it wouldn’t become Marilyn Monroe..
stop wasting money on P&S and get a DSLR..
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
Sorry to say but i dont like the way it looks sorry
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
This 1 looks alot better:)
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
oh lol I’m not the least bit concerned about what it looks like, really. 
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
well since u dislike ‘weaker’ flashes this one only has 3.7m .. a poor telephoto lens (only 128mm and f/5.6), mediocre macro focus range (7.5cm) and uses xD cards instead of more mainstream SD cards.
Not to mention it’s a whopping 9MP.. have u budgeted for a new hard drive/more DVDR’s/a new more powerful PC to process and store those huge files?
You need to spell your requirements out .. a little specifically. What do you want or not want .. consider this an opportunity to design your ideal Point 'n shoot.. what’s bugging u about your current one?
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
It does have pretty decent specs. I was always a G series fan, but never did get one cuz i was always waiting for the price to drop below a certain level and by the time it did the next version would come up and that version was out of stock 
This actually started when G3 was out.
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
PA, well I have Sony CyberShot DSC-something, and it no longer works for some reason. Anyways, so what I didn't like about it is that it was only 3.2 MP (I'm looking for like around 5 MP), the optical zoom was only around 3x, and I'd like 4x or 5x. The flash took very long to build up, and any picture taken without flash would come out blurry (unless I used a tripod). The camera took a good 5-6 seconds to turn on. It is failr chunky, but I'd rather get a camera that takes better pictures than carry around a stylish piece of metal.
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
I gave you some excellent options for a very ncie budget you know 
With plenty manual settings and stuff 
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
OYEEEEEEE YOU GUYSSS!!!
pakistaniabroad you are MY HEROOOOOOOOOOOOO 
I just talked to my Dad…I put on the cutest face ever and I went up and asked him if I could just have money for a camera on my birthday (coming up this friday)…and he said why and I ended up telling him that i wanted to buy a $500 camera…and at first he was like 
…but then I told him PakistaniAbroad bhai’s idea that I would get a summer job and pay him back $200 dollars so he would only be paying $300 for the camera…
he said he’d think about it…and right now, that’s all I ask. 
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
good for you kiddo.. now don't renege on that promise of paying him back!
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
oh yea of course I will! :)
Okay so how does the canon g7 look? It's got 10 MP but I think there's probably an option on it that allows u to put it down a little, yea?

the G7 is a fantastic (and expensive) point 'n shoot.. and yes.. it does have options to shoot at lower resolutions.
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
phatima taking pics requires two things, a good camera and good photographing skills.
Plus it doesnt hurt to know a bit bout how a camera works, shutter speed, lighting techniques and what not.
You can have whatever pixels and whatever optical zoom but if you dont know anything bout how to use a camera in every surrounding and situation then the best of the best cameras will fail you.
The reason your sony camera came out with blurry pics when no flash was used is cause of shutter speed.
You can do awesome tricks with the speed of shutter.
In order for a camera to take crystal clear pics without flash is to keep it extremely very still.
Otherwise you will end up with blurry unfocussed pics.
Plus its not necessary to use flash in all pics.
You need to know when and where to use flash and where to not.
If you are going to be doing still photography make sure you get a good tripod.
As for the flash taking a while to build up, there is a setting where you can disable that.
But then you need to know how to focus before taking a pic.
I can post up pics of awesome slow shutter speed results.
Re: Nikon Coolpix S7C
Thanks LB. Yea I think I know quite a lot about cameras...I've worked with an SLR before (my dad's oldddd one) so I learned a lot from that and from reading the instruction booklet for it. I'm taking a call next fall for photography too. yay :)
