Hi everybody

As u can see I am new 2 this forum... I've been searching for weeks for a good camera. Lately I have been getting more and more serious about photography and I just dont kno what camera to buy.

I have been searching tons of sites, and reading reviews but Im not sure what is considered 'good'..

I was wondering if you can give suggestions on what would be a good camera 4 me. I want something that takes good crisp photographs... I am willing to spend upto $500 bcz that is all I can afford rite now...

Plz Help!!!!!!

R any of these any good?

#1) Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30S
#2) Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H5

i'm a newbie, too, but have you considered a film camera? for around $275-$300 you could pick up a Canon EOS Rebel T2 kit which, from what i've read, would be a great starter camera if you're interested in an SLR. i've also read that the EOS Rebel K2 is another great starter camera and costs around $200. this would leave some money left over for another lens and some other accessories.

just an idea.
