Hey guys I have a couple questions about some camera's..


One of my friends lost my camera so he's gotta buy me another one, we've been looking on ebay for a while now but can't find the exact same one i had, he's also on a fairly tight budget so really he's offered me atleast the same camera, or maybe something better... but used.

So here's my questions.

What's better? Digital or film?

I like to take pictures of random stuff, every day stuff, I pretty much have my camera on me almost all the time... well i did when i had one lol. I used to have a sony cybershot 4.1 megapixel, it was pretty much a point and shoot, it was a pretty kickass camera imo.


I'm looking into these:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Cannon-T-70-camer...QQcmdZViewItem

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Canon-EOS-1000F-N...QQcmdZViewItem

also to give you guys a price range, he cant really afford to buy somthing over 150 or so dollars.

thanks in advance, i'd appreciate it if someone could maybe quickly go through ebay and maybe point out a decent beginner camera. thanks~

as far as digital id reccomend a 350D for you but thats a bit out of your range

Go for digital imo, in the end, it will be much cheaper than film especially if you use it evry day (unless you realy want to print all your photos), and easyer to work with (and smaller usualy)
I have had a sony dsc w1 for a couple years now and I am quite happy about it. I belive the dsc-w series all have carl zeiss optics, and it is worth it imo (comparing with friends having 5megapixels compact cameras from other brands, I usualy have the best results color and quality wise)
If you realy plan on taking pictures evry day and cary your camera around with you, don't go for a reflex, take a small compact digital camera.

Nice because realy small, easy to cary around : http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Cybershot-D...QQcmdZViewItem

guess that all depends on what you want to do with photography. Yeah, P+S are nice and convenient and can take some decent photos, but if you want to get into the hobby at all seriously, some sort of SLR is a neccesity.
