Digital Camera--New or Used ?? - 11/4/2004 7:05:22 PM    CanadianBoy   Posts: 804 Joined: 7/25/2004 From: Central Ontario Canada Status: offline I really like digital cameras,my wife once asked me if there was a fire,what would I save first ,would it be her or the bottles & the digital camera. I told her it was not a question she needed an answer to!!!!! I have 3 digital cameras,2 new, 1 used (I think the used one fell off the back of a truck,"wink,wink"). The first one was 1998 & a Sony FD75,was new and came with a warranty,it stores images on a floppy disc,still works and a good backup,but only .6 megapixels so it takes alot of extra work in Photoshop Elements. The second one was also a Sony-CD250,as a built in CD burner & stores on 31/2" cds.Used no warranty,got all three on eBay,but this one was just too cheap,Retail $900,got it for $200,but eh" Great camera,a cd holds 167 photos,& you can use CDW's over & over. Worked great for just over a year,then one day it just would'nt power up. I contacted Sony about repairs,for them to give me an estimate was $60 + $175 for repairs but it could be more,so here's a camera I paid $200 for & they want over $200 to fix it ---maybe. If anyone is interested in a used camera that needs fixing!!!! If your warranty runs out after a year you might as well get another camera...like me... I just got a Kodak LS753,came with the photo dock 6000,with extended warranty,my advise on this new technology is get the Extended Warranty. I think its well worth the money. So far its a great little camera,takes the SD memory card,if I'm on an extended dig I carry 2 cards & copy stuff at the end of the day on to 1,keeping the other for use in the daytime,that way if I have a problem I still have backup. _____________________________ I've been "DOWN IN THE DUMPS" since 1970.

When I was buying I did a ton of research into options and consumer ratings, and decided this was the best in its price class for me. Two years later, I stand by it, abseloutely great lil digital, great for beginners and adequate even for more advanced users. ~Julie (in reply to CanadianBoy) Post #: 3

Tropical Queensland Status: offline Hi Fellas, I've used that site (dpreview.com) before. Excellent site. I have a Nikon coolpix 3100. 3.2 mpxl optical zoom and macro. Great little compact camera. Takes a compact flash card. I bought it 12 months ago and it is already about $AU150 cheaper than what I bought it for. _____________________________ ~Alan~ Arrgh, not another....... Holbrookes!!!
