digital cameras


Question Posted Thursday March 31 2005, 3:16 pm

I'm having trouble finding the answer to this problem. Maybe I don't ask it right, see if any of you can help me out.

I am thinking of buying a new camera. I currently have a pentax which I love but it has seen better days.

I'd like to try a digital one but here's the thing no one has yet been able to answer for me.
I do not like the point and shoot, auto focus stuff. I want a set your own f-stop, focus.... manual type camera. I like my pic's to be my own creations know what I mean? Does anyone know if they make something like that in digital cameras?

I think the problem lies in the fact that I don't really know what the official name for the kind of camera I'm wanting is. I'm in process of packing for a move and all my stuff is currently unavailable to me.So, if anyone knows at least that much it would be a help in my search.

Thank you so much......younggrandma :)

Hmm, I know what you mean, and I don't know the name either. I know you can get digital cameras with manual focus, but I'm not sure if you can get digitals with adjustable aparture (sp?) and shutter speed.

Best thing would be to search on eBay or even Google for digital cameras with those features.

Hello YG,

This will fix you right up: Your pentax is a 35mm SLR camera. (Single Lens Reflex)

If you want an equivelent type, do this search in google, with NO QUOTES:

"digital slr camera"

That should get you started. From there, you will have to get into the camera magazines and see who likes what about which.

DangerNerd.

Well maybe if you try to go to either Circut City, or Best Buy, and ask one of the employee's there, maybe they can help you. But unless someone that has one of these works at a place like that, nobody can really give you the correct answer. So go online and do a good search, or just go to the store and ask. sorry but that is all i no. good luck with that!

My dad is a professional photographer and he uses a Fuji Finepix(S2 or S3 pro) 12 megapixel. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) It has auto everything but you can also swap it to manual, so you can do pretty much anything you want with it. The auto-focus usually just depends on the lens you are using.
You never mentioned price, so I'm assuming that isn't much of a problem.
I was particularly impressed by this Nikon: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I'm JUST like you. I like my pictures to be original, and one of a kind. I have a Cannon Digital Power-Shot SD-300. It's the greatest. It has all these neat features like black and white and takes amazing pictures with zoom. I've never had a camera I liked before this one. Also, it's small! It can fit about in the palm of your hand. You'd also probably want a bigger screen on it too. It as a wide screen so you can see your pictures clearly. This camera is amazing.

There's a picture.
