Digital camera?

vanderlyle · 07-28-2010, 08:10 PM

Hi,

I'm after a digital camera. I need a) a high resolution (12MP minimum) as I do a lot of cropping and b) it needs to be rugged, reliable and likely to last a while. I'm looking into this - http://ubuyhardware.com/p~p-18485670...---Silver.aspx - do you guys think it'd be appropriate? Any suggestions of an alternative?

Thanks in advance!

As a professional photog, I would suggest either canon or nikon.

Why do you need a 12mp camera? Something in the range of 8.3mp would suit you fine, I would think?

Olympus is decent but... Not at all professional and probably wouldn't last that long.

That's just my opinion though, I'm sure a lot of people would disagree.

For me though, if it's not canon or nikon, why bother?

Oh and the canon rebel stinks; it's made of plastic. Good luck!

Olympus is a good camera brand. But I would prefer better brands like Nikon and Canon. They are more superior than Olympus.

I like my Canon 50D. +1 for Canon or Nikon.

I'm currently using the Nikon D3, it's an awesome full frame digital SLR at 12.1 mp.

It al depends on what sort of photography you are going to be doing?

Happy Christmas

I’m a big fan of Canon, which is proven to be the best brand for cameras.

My vote also goes to Canon.

I've shot canon for over ten years and I finally switched to Nikon.

Nikon is far superior to canon... Better glass.

I agree. I've also made the switch a few weeks ago.
