But seriously, I'd go with the Rebel XT. Even though the bodies are cheap and plastic, the s3 is a good camera to have around only if your going somewhere where you don't want to damage your camera. www.photobucket.com Username AndreasSamaris
I took everything in there with an S2 IS.

I doubt Sony will make their cameras as unreliable as their other stuff. They want 35% of the dSLR market. They won't make a shitty product.....I hope.
Canon's S2/S3 cameras are very nice, but one cannot use interchangable lenses and the sensors are too small, resulting in less dynamic range.

he's high
and no I don't think Sony will be making their own camers. I bet you Konica Minolta will keep doing that and just put a Sony badge on the body.

Sony has bought all of Minolta's camera manufacturing plants. KM will still supply lenses.

Hey guys, looking into getting a new point and shoot digi cam.
I really would like a cannon a610 or a520, but it sounds like the movie mode caps out at about 30 seconds. This is a major concern to me. Is there any similar camera's out there to the cannons with an unlimited movie mode. I'm looking for the manual featres of the cannon

Not sure how useful ISO800 will be in such a small sensor. Pictures must have so much noise or be super soft with all the processing. | HOLY CRAP long time no see!!

But there has to be camera out there that compete with the 610???

| compact recommendations
don't have money for slr's or sub slr's, and hate the size
so what's a gd one for nice clear shots w/o flash?
i was looking at fuji Z3, sony t30
most ppl tell me canon has great quality, but their looks really don't interest me at all
if in the end the quality of the canon's really beat the others by far, i'll consider them i guess

Just bought a Cannon A610... It is bigger then most of the point and shoots, but I am loving all the manual options I get with it, and so far quality has been great.

just picked up a rebel xt silver body.......wanted the black one, but got a really good deal on a silver one. since they are identical in performance, i guess the silver is going to have to grow on me....

one of the good things about a silver camera is that it woudln't be as hot as the black ones in the sun.
and i heard that this was one of the intention behind painting the White lenses white too

| Rebel XT or 20D?
Can't decide. I'll probably miss the wheel on the back of the 20D. The XT with the grip isn't bad but the normal grip on there is pretty small and cramped at times. They turn out almost identical images ( I can't tell which camera they pics come from). There's almost a $200 difference between the two bodies as well (used prices). I could use that extra cash toward a 2.8IS lol.
What are your opinions?

Maybe one of the dumbest responses but, the 20D just feels like a great camera in my hands... Upgrading from a rebel 300D to a 20D was the best thing I did. XT wouldn't be any different, except from the light small body compared to the 300D... I would fork out the extra 200$ to get a 20D
