AndyMan 7 #4 March 14, 2003 Avoid the SkyCam. Canon EOS systems are very affordable, and nearly bulletproof. Check out the EOS rebel G. www.bhphotovideo.com _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freakyflyr11 0 #7 March 15, 2003 i jump with a cannon rebel it is a really good camera are you interested in digital its more costly up front but you will save alot on film and can pic and choose wich pics you want or dont want insted of wasteing a whole roll of film Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robskydiv 0 #8 March 15, 2003 Digital sounds good. What about shutter speed? Does it matter with a digital still camera? Appreciate the input freakyflyr. Harry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freakyflyr11 0 #9 March 16, 2003 from what ive been told a digtial is a little slower but the advantages out weigh that.just make sure you do some more research on the before buying one you want to get one that suits you.cannon makes one that resembles a rebel it is a little heaver than a rebel but a very good camera with alot of optoins.and takes excelent pics.check these ones out taken by a buddy of mine with one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skychic68 0 #10 March 17, 2003 Please dude, NO! I made that dreadful mistake two years ago. Thought I would see what the thing was all about and it gave me nothing but problems. The quality was poor as well. I bought a Cannong Rebel. But, if you really wanna buy one, i'll sell you mine, LOL. I couldn't do that to a fellow skydiver.
