[NBLUG/talk] Digital cameras

[Garland, David]

I have a Canon Digital Rebel and I love it(or more importantly, my wife
does).  The difference between that and the higher end model, is that
the higher end model is metal instead of plastic, and faster.

Before that I had an Olympus 760 10x, and it stunk.  Broke after a year
too.

My friend in Australia received and inquiry yesterday from the FBI Cargo
Task Force after she bought a digital camera on ebay.  The seller was
based in Hong Kong but the camera shipped from N.Y.

I haven't really looked into it in great detail, but everything I've
heard is that in the "mid-range" area, Nikon and Canon have the best
optics (lenses, that is).  Nikon ahead of Canon slightly in that area.
Both have a lot of choice of lenses, too.  Makes progressing from the
mid-tier to the high-end easier.
