Hello all
A new guy here.
I need to find myself a new camera, and I'm really at a loss for what would be best for me.
I've got a Traveler 8MP thingy which makes good pics for my standards, but it's very slow to work with.
I've also got a Coolpics 5700, which also does the job, but it's also slow.
Recently toyed with a Pentax digital SLR (110) I think it was, and that was such a world of difference!!!
Those go for about 300 USD nowadays, which is roughly my budget, but cheaper is better and that one might be too advanced for me anyway.
I need the camera for taking pics of my work (I'm a tailor) and as a hobby I like to shoot landscapes and people.
What I need in a camera:
SLR
Shoe for external flash
Zoom by turning the ring on the lens, as opposed to motorized
Optional:
moveable display (the one that flips out)
AAA batteries
Would anybody be able to advise?
Thanks in advance.
