Camera for me

[mom4scrapbooking]

I need help for all the photographers out there. When thinking about senior pictures coming up. I thought maybe I should buy a new camera so that I can take the senior pictures.. Especially as I have a few more behind this child to take pictures of. I don't want to expensive. I have never taken a photo class or anything. I just enjoy taking pictures of my kids. So what SLr do you recommend or other camera that takes good quality photos.

I am not a photographer by any means, but I am sort of a "Techie". Please check out the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1. "They" have just lowered the price on this model to around $225.00 ( amazon has the black one for 219.00) and I just ordered one to replace my lost camera.

I have had several Lumixs and I love them. This is a GREAT price for a pocket digital with 10.1 mega pixels and 12x zoom. You can also use the zoom while using the video feature. This camera uses standard hc SD cards.

You can get the newest model (DMC-ZS3) that gives you the same zoom and pixels with a little bit larger screen 3.0 inches vs 2.7 inches, and HD video for $279.00, but I decided to try to keep my costs low. Hope this helps!

do not think you want a SLR if you are just a beginner photographer....you will want something more point and shoot. A canon would be a good start.


start in amazon's camera dept and look at the camera's and the shots made by them and pick one you like.


I have owned several Canon's and they all took excellant pictures.

I second the prior lumix recommendation. I just upgraded to a digital rebel but that 12X zoom lands you some awesome pix for that price.
