Thanks Lax much appreciated!

[laxlife1234]

No problem, man :)!

Ok, so I bought a tripod about a week ago, and I needed a head for it. So over on a photography forum I belong to I picked up a Markins M10 ball head. Jesus, I love the thing! Then again I came from a Piece of shit $50 tri-pod, so what do I expect?!

What is a good camera in the $300 range? Obviously not a pro, just wondering what would be alright to pick up at walmart or something.

[laxlife1234]

The Canon S95 from what I hear is among the best P&S cameras. Otherwise you're really not going to be able to get a DSLR for that price if that's what you're looking for.

my cheapo 3 yr old nikon d40 dslr takes great pics with the kit lens, it was prob 375 or so when I bought it, I don't know of the kit can still be had new, prob real cheap if so, plenty of quality.

The nex c3 is quite nice for approx that price.

[madmonday]

been a few days, what you shot jaco?

oh & that is a purrty camera you got there

[jacoavlu]

just the kids and outdoors, finished the roll but my to-be-developed-and-scanned backlog is too long to even think about

the camera is a Leica III circa 1930's that my wife's grandfather brought back from the war, with matching screw mount collapsible 50/3.5 lens

f^cking nice, i am always surprised by the things/items that get a response or white noise.  i'm no camera buff but i knew that was something special.  urb had some wild looking cameras as well, maybe when he gets a moment he'll put up some images of those beauties.

oh & that camera from the 1930s still working is a testament. . . .well if it still works
