london drugs still caries D70
but not at that big of a discount
999 for body
1449 for kit

and its demo model


not worth it cuz D70s kit is 1499

endless402 07-07-2005 09:15 AM

well if you buy cameras in the USA you do not get warranty in Canada


do a group buy on the d70s :p

Ducdesmo 07-07-2005 04:25 PM

OK count me in the for group buy on the D70S! Im interested in the body only tho.

And i agree...the updated firmware and the .2" larger LCD is not worth $150 more. Also an optional cable release can be purchased for the S. But i rather buy a 1GB memory card for $150 and skip all these peanut features.

Ok what do u guys think?

Sony DSC-T7

or

Canon SD400?

My requirements:
-slim/compact size
-best image quality (from the smallest package possible)
-some manual features (white balance, exposure, iso, etc.)

I love the looks of the DSC-T7 but I also love the looks/size of the SD400. With prices out of the equation which is the better camera in terms of image quality?

You can ask almost anyone on the Photo forum here and they will tell you the Canon SD400 especially since it has the Digic II processor as well.

The image quality from the Sony T7... let's just say, it isn't great. The only thing it offers, as a lot of people like and wouldn't mind sacrificing other qualities, is its slimness and 2.5" LCD screen.

Canon is your pick. :) And cheaper memory card as well!

buy the 350d without the kit lens and buy the kit lens here:

or buy the camera and the kit lense here:

I just saved up enough for my DSLR and was wondering which of these 2 options is better?

I read several reviews online and like the Nikon color production better. However, in the long run, will I be better off with Canon or Nikon when it comes to lens selections? (I like to take landscape with random chance of portrait taking)

Also, I am planning to ask my friend to buy me the camera in HK. Where should he go for a reputable seller?

Thnks for any inputs~)

SD400 will be plenty for everyday shooting. That high of a pixel rating doesn't mean much once you're looking at digital pictures on a computer only.

MikesJo 07-19-2005 09:57 PM

SD400 is slimmer too.

re: d50 vs canon 350d

if you're stuck on deciding which one of them is better on paper, go to the camera store and play w/ them. for me the d50 was the clear choice over the 350d. the 350d felt like a toy in my hands and i only have average sized hands! it was a size or two too small and didnt feel as solid as even the 300d.

dont forget to consider the d70s

group buy :p

Pochacho 07-20-2005 02:00 PM

Yeah, D70 is definitely a good choice too. I played with my friend's D70 and I like it. (too bad I bought canon already).

between D70 and Xt, I would pick D70.
between D70 and 20D.... uh.... i don't know....

endless402 07-20-2005 05:56 PM

20D > D70 of course, different class

now if only london drugs accept my pricematch of interpro photo's D70S kit for $1480

Levitron 07-20-2005 06:54 PM

Yeah, totally different.

If you were to place things in order, probably be something like: 20D>D70s>D70>350D, D50

Pochacho 07-20-2005 08:37 PM

phew... i am glad that i did not pick up the D70....

thats like the order of pricing too

unit 07-20-2005 10:53 PM

if you can find one, the d70 is about the same price if not cheaper than the 350d.. w/ a far superior kit lens...

too bad i never found one!

endless402 07-21-2005 06:27 PM

baldy 07-23-2005 02:00 PM

Ducdesmo 07-24-2005 08:40 PM
