Bawx Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I went to Wal-Mart yesterday and was looking at cameras. I saw a Canon Rebel K2 I think it was called. It was priced at under $200. It had a big lense and was all professional looking compared to the stylish tiny digital cameras they had. I was wondering why it was so cheap, and does the $200 dollar price come with that big lense with it? If so, should I buy it? I've wanted a digital camera for a while, they're really fun. Would the Canon Rebel K2 be good for $200? I don't have a credit card, so I can't take advantage of these crazy deals online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 K2 is a Film SLR. It doesn't come with that big of a lens either? (28-90mm?) Still makes for a good film SLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawx Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 It looks like this. I consider that a big lens. I'm used to this type of camera. They're pretty similar when it comes to operating them right? Should I know about Film SLR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Film SLR at cheaper then digital SLRs. But film you have to buy and develop which can get expensive over time. I like film though. What exactly do you want to do with your camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawx Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 Isn't there a Camera like the Rebel I showed that's digital? And around $200? I could have sworn I saw one at Walmart. I want to take pictures, plug a wire into it and upload the picture to my computer, but I want a big one like that big Canon up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
