tetra316 0 #1 October 16, 2006 I'm looking to go digital, finally, and want to get a canon but not sure what kind or mp. The powershots or elphs? Also was thinking about 8mp or would 5-6 be pretty much the same if I'm not blowing up the pictures? Comments greatly appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said, I agree with the last poster - get an XTi. And then trade me for my XT. Of course if you just want to point and shoot, an Elp or Powershot could work. It depends what you want to spend.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really an option, can't afford to spend more than $300 or so. And am looking for one that's easily carried around, ie small. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 0 #7 October 17, 2006 Mp's on a digital camera are not all equal! 6mp reflex = much better than 8mp point and shoot, due to the sensor being much bigger. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
