Return of the Papparazzi

That's it... i've decided... fuck it!

Chrissie is going to get herself a new spankin' digital camera. I've had enough of bludgin' off friends' pics and most of the time, i feel bad for whiskin' away their bit of technology for ages, and then to return it with tonnes of useless pics or images of people they see as strangers.

I had a Canon PowerShot A70... which my folks were kind enough to buy for me 3 years back cause i needed to shoot a few things for my folio. But as time rolled on, the picture quality went a bit... fucked up. Purple lines running through the images and an almost 1970s type colour fade to it.

So yea... my mission is to hunt for a small, thin, anti-shaking, not too many knobs and buttons on it. OH and overall needs to have a sexxxy clean look to it. Yes i'm quite anal when it comes to purchasing items that involve a chunk of my money.

And quite particular with the picture quality... some images look damn right ugly once i view them on the computer. Plus the viewing image in the LCD screen needs to be sharp... none of that pixelated shit or grainy look. I want to be able to see it as is.

So i'm browsing through the Canon website... and saw a few that LOOK nice on screen. Question is, do they look nice once i see it in real life? This is the Canon SD 700 IS... mmmmMmmmm yumm.





But if any of you have kick arse little digital cameras that are sexxxy and affordable AND has a minimal look to it yet packs in quite a bit of stuff... do suggest the brand and model number... and i'll go have a hunt for it and have a bit of a fondle at the camera store... =)

yeah I would go with the ixus. they have a sleeker design and I hear good things about it :)

the powershot isn't bad either though. generally Canon makes good cameras.

however, in terms of good value for money the Sonys in that range are really very good.

Minolta make the anti-shake feature available in all their cameras, which aren't bad either :)

you just need to go to a camera review website and so you can compare and contrast all at once!

The only advice I can give you is that don't choose the fanciest one possible. Chances are that the camera will be outdated in less than a year anyway. This is all developing sooooo fast!!!
good luck shrimpy.

puggy: awww yea... i may have to have a look at that cam too...

boo: yea, i saw the Sony cams and they look alrite only thing is they're very boxy... ahhaha.

But i did see the Nikon Coolpix S3 and S5... they're heaps lighter.

I'll check out those sights that review the cams cause they usually show the picture quality and shit. But you're so right about the technology thing... soon i'll they'll come up with some other superdooper cam.

Hmmmm...
