Gotta new digicam... 13.6MP FTW!!!!

[ceo012384]

Got a new digital camera today since my other one's lens got knocked out of alignment and it didn't make sense to repair it. I need my main camera to fit in a pocket pretty easily otherwise I won't use it. Especially because I like to bring it with me when I ride. I like it to have at least some of the features of a larger camera and have decent resolution. Well, I looked around a bit, and I've always been partial to Sonys (I have a DSC-V1 and the one with the knocked lens is a DSC-T7) and found their newest POWERHOUSE... the cybershot DSC-W300. This little bastard still maintains the tiny cybershot profile (looks to me like they use pretty much the same case as the 7 and 8 MP versions), but packs a TON of features and boasts a whopping 13.6 MegaPixels!!! Here are the stock photos:







So, that's the one I decided on, and just went today after work and bought it right away. On top of that, I smoothtalked the sales guy at Circuit City and got him to sell it to me for a decently lower price than he should have

Here it is:





I've been getting into photography a bit more the past several years and would like to get a nice SLR when funds allow it. For now, I can borrow a Nikon D70 from work and play with that whenever I get the itch.

Damn, that many MP's...I expected a SLR. I'm sure it takes nice pics.

SLR is the only way to go when you get that high in MPs. A will have her D40x to take a few snaps during the weekend morning runs with us.

so you plan on taking pictures of the inside of peoples pores or what?

thats a damn nice camera, im hoping i can pick something up before the trip, but i only need 6-7 mp, not freaking 13. I've already got my 3mp phone camera though, so who knows.

I just bought a Canon from Circuit City the other day but it's only 7.1 mp...must be nice to be a baller.

I had a $35 gift card that was given to me so with that applied to the sale price it was only $93 otd.

No shit! That's the most important piece of info! I have the T200 with the 3.5 touch screen (or rather my bitch of an ex has it!). I've been looking at the T300 for $350 but I may just get the Fuji F50 12 meg or the Samsung 10 meg for under $200. All 3 have "face recognition" but you can change the focal point on the Sony by touching the screen. All of these cameras have a shit ton of features my dumb ass will never use!!! What I don't like about the Sony is having to use Memory Stick. I have a ton of SD cards and I saw a 4 mb at Sears for $20 the other day. Memory sticks tend to be more expensive in my experience.

I still have a 4 meg Fuji SLR I got "forever ago",what it lacks in megs,it makes up in optical zoom. Which is the whole point anyway,right? It's main problem is it's BIG and SLOW,just like me! If I'm not mistaken 35mm equates to only 3 or 4 megs,I've never been sure what the point/use of all those "extra" megs are. I understand they allow you to blow up the pic bigger but I get a good 8X10 with 3 or 4 megs,how big a picture are you trying to make? Heck,my biggest problem lately has been figuring out how to shrink pics so I can post or send them. Ahhh what am I talking about? Bigger is always better!
