lovemybird! Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hello! I hope you don't mind me asking you a photography question... I am new here and would like to purchase a new camera to take baby bird pix.. I have an old canon powershot that I have been having troubles with. It also does not take good zoom pix. Could you by any chance recommend a good digital camera for me.Your pix on the forum are great by the way.! Thank you so much! lovemybird!<br><br>Post edited by: CeasarsDad, at: 2007/08/24 02:23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeasarsDad Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hi lovemybird.. Thank you so much for the compliments.. I appreciate them very very much... It means alot when someone enjoys what I post.. :P Of course I have a recommendation.. Depending on the price range you are looking for my favorite camera these days it the Nikon D40X .. This little gem is awesome. If fact, just ask Talon as she took my recommendation on this and I am sure she has lots to say about it http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/494401-REG/Nikon__D40x_Digital_Camera_Kit.html We didn't identify your price range so please tell me it this unit is too high for you as I can suggest something else if it is..<br><br>Post edited by: CeasarsDad, at: 2007/08/24 02:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makena Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Great question lovemybird! I am in the market for a new camera too. And funny enough I also have a cannon powershot with horrible zoom! That Nikon looks very nice... is that link a good place to buy from? Also what would you suggest for a simple point and shoot 7-8 megapixel pocket type? I am going back and forth between the 2 types... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblhelix Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 If you are looking for a SLR in the $700-$1000 range the comparable model from rival Canon is the EOS 400D (Digital Rebel XTi). Both are nice units, reasonable size/price for a SLR. There are people in both "camps" (Nikon vs Canon). I have the Canon and am very happy with it, but I chose based on how the unit felt in my hand. This will be different for everyone. If you do choose a SLR and build lenses around a brand that can be a factor keeping you in one camp or the other! If you are not going the SLR route then there are many options of good units/brands in the $300-$600 price range. I am not as experienced as CD, but I have done some homework on cameras...B) What do you want to do with the camera and what is your price range. This can help direct you to the SLR or point and shoot type of unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasia Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I just bought a new Olympus camera from Best Buy the day before yesterday to take a picture of my Grey. I just posted his picture yesterday. It is really difficult to take a bad shot. Olympus Stylus 820. $269.00; card $39.00. It takes videos too. If I find out how to post the video, I would love to post a short video of my Angel Baby Grey (still no name). Kathy :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jujubechan Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I use a Canon EOS 20D with 85mm or 50mm lens, it so great for animals and birds pictures, not to mention great for portraits too!
