berzerker Donating Members 767 Member For: 17y 18d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 16/03/10 09:12 AM Share Posted 16/03/10 09:12 AM Hi there :D Im in the market for a new camera and need your opinion.My price range is about $300.Ive sort of decided on the Canon SX120Canon PowerShot SX120 IS Digital Camera – 10 Megapixel - Digital Camera Warehouse AustraliaMainly because number one, its a Canon and because it has some manual settings which im wanting to play around with too. The SX120 has great night-shooting abilites im led to believe which im keen for too. I guess im a beginner when it comes to photography but am keen to learn.Doesnt have to be real compact as I dont care about the size either.Does this seem like something that'd suit me?OR are there other models which I should be going for?Cheers for any advice.

I noticed the camera takes AA batteries, my best advice would be to find one, or pay extra for a camera that has a rechargeable lithium battery. buying AA's is the biggest pain in the butt. maybe look at some others. good luck.

I got mine quite q while ago and for the life of me can't remember what I paid for it...but I got it pretty cheap as my mate works at harvey norman...I also got a bigger propper photography camera with film rather than digital... for a bit of fun... depends on what you want it for... but for a day to day cam... cant go past most canon cameras...

You won't have any dramas with either.Personally I use Citiwide as I've found their prices a bit cheaper on the items I've brought.Get a S90 if you can stretch the budget a little.

I used to have a pentax KM and that did really good car shots and scenery shots but someone nicked it. thinking more towards the 50d with a 18-55 lense or 55-250 lense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
