Keldyn buys a Digital Camera


Recommended Posts

listen to Keldyn, he's got the best 4 megapixels digital camera out there. a combination of great design and great quality. :)

thats why I'm asking :) If I do decide to spend the extra dough, I'll probably end up with the S400.

Congrats on your purchase guys you won't regret it. Canon have made a good many sales thanks to this thread. lol

It is also interesting to note the different branding for other regions.

A pic of the box with an added 128 mb mem that I got.

I have an old Koda DC215, 1 megapixel camera. I think it's time for an upgrade in the near future. :D

BTW, what is that black/blue thingie under the box do? :blink:

It is a charger for the batteries. Comes with the camera and plugs directly into the outlet, no need for wires.
is SanDisk CompactFlash card good?

Of course!

Quick. Anyone thinking of getting a 400+ camera head over to techbargains.com and get the Dell stackable $45 code. That with the 10% discount and free shipping for, the S400 comes out to $408. Deal ends today. Will order mine tomorrow hopefully as I already talked to a CSR and the guy gave me to tomorrow to decide :)

One downside though :( If you plan on buying the S400, be prepared for the month wait. 30+ days supposdely for the camera to arrive due to backorder. I'm willing to wait for that price.

The beauty of them anita is that they are actually very simple. Because the quality is so good it is easy to trick people into thinking you are a professional.

Maybe. Are these cameras diff from the regular film cameras in that they don't have all the thingies you need to turn? I tried one of those once...it was a horrible experience but it turned out it wasn't broken that bad. My mom has a nice 35mm and she gets pretty good pix off it. She'd prefer that I don't use it. My pix are always fuzzy or I move the camera when I click it.

I'll stick to looking at the great pix here. You guys did a wonderful job on all of them!!!

Keldyn, can we have a "pretty pictures that we took with our cameras" forum or sub forum? It would be a common place to go to look at what people here can do....
