Its the Canon Powershot S3 IS, 6mp, not an SLR nor does it have manual zoom, but I think thats a great price for what it is... what do you camera buffs think?

Id save up and get an SLR if you want one... youre going to be working a ton, so just use some extra money if you really want a good cam.

Yea, but my tastes are a bit too high for my budget. The camera I 'want' would cost me like 1.5g's+

This is about my budget at the moment, cause 400 for the cam and card is still expensive.

i personally use compact flash, but any kind of memory is going to do the same thing.

and i would save for an slr, i think you would be way happier in the end.

I agree. But I just cant justify to myself spending that much money on a camera. Im a cheap bastard.

How much difference am I going to see in the type of memory stick I get? I know the size part, but is there anything in particular I should be looking for?

not really, just don't buy sony. they never seem to want to work with anything else. i would say secure digital or compact flash is your best bet. but again it all depends on the camera and what its brand.

and i thought the same thing about spending so much money, but i ended up doing it anyways and now i wont even use a regular digital camera.
