It really all depends what you want to do with the photo, if they are going to be shown on the internet at smaller sizes then quality is not as important because the photos will be downsized anyway. If you would want to print them out then you would want a higher quality camera, the one you suggested would be fine for most prints. I have a Minolta 7hi which is 5mp and that can print of photos which are a4 size without you noticing anythign to the eye.

THe main thing with photography is even if you have got the best camera in the world you need to know what to look for and what makes a good shot.

Ive had a few drinks now so ill check that in the morning and see if it makes sense

If you mean compared to 300D, its because the 300V is a film camera, not digital.

ok so in newbie terms tht zoom is??? sorry to sound dumb


vibrio

posted on 14th Aug 04 at 22:58

depends on the lens you fit. also digital SLR cameras have a smaller sensor than film SLR so it's not a true 35mm. my 300D has a focal magnification of 1.6x. so teh 18-55mm lens is actually a 28.8-88mm. not great for wide angle shots but your getting a bigger zoom as a trade off.

posted on 14th Aug 04 at 22:55

yeh see be honest... i wanna get into this as a serious hobby BUT dont have tht sorta money, would it be worth saving or would a lower pixel camera with a powerfull zoom suit me best? would i notice the lower quality in pics from teh olympus, camera im talkin about is a CanonPowershot S1 IS

posted on 14th Aug 04 at 22:53

tell me how much you wanna spend. my camera would set you back £690 and you'd need a big CF card £55 from ebay for a 60x 512mb card
