Digital Cameras recomendations

[JavierNuvolari]

Hi guys. I'm currently thinking about buying a new camera and I was wondering if any of you guys can gimme some recomendations on cameras that you have or would like to have.

I'm looking for a camera that has over 5mp but no more than 6.2-7.1mp , the brand is not an issue but I've always liked Nikon, Canon and Sony.

The uses for this camera are totally amateur, however i enjoy photography a lot.

Well, I hope that you can gime some recomendations.

I love my Nikon D70.
I think it is perfect for Amateur, and it takes a few hours with with manual to learn lots of awesome features. There is also an 'auto' mode, which is just for folks that wish to use it in easy mode.

I guess the question is SLR or compact.

I can recommend the Canon EOS range. (SLR)
EOS350 perhaps?


I'm inte market for an advanced compact as well.

This looks very interesting: Panasonic DMC-LX1

I bought the Panasonic DMC-LX1 today.

Haven't used it so much, but I think I will like it. Advanced, yet small.

I went up on the roof to take some pics.

All pics taken in 16:9 mode.

Uh! Don't know what happened to the quality of the second picture. Had to resize it twice to make if fit so I think the quality went missing big time.

wow! thanks on the samples Erik . now that I'm in Taiwan for my chinese classes I'll buy me a nice camera...maybe one like yours hehe....I love the quality of the pictures you took.

THX mate...but I bought a Panasonic FZ5...nice cam....but he...since i bought it here in Taiwan the manual is in mandarin ..anyway...I must say that the camera is really cool but kinda hard to use since I have no manual and I have to remember what my uncle tought me about photography...anyway, as soon as I have some decent photographs I'll post them.

Cheers,
