Ah, first blog post / needs camera recommendations
Hello and welcome everyone. I’ll try and write as often as I can, even if it is just inane ramblings and short posts about what’s going on with my life.
At the moment I’m just sitting at my desk, listening to last.fm and trying to get a few things sorted, like a nice short holiday to Paris for some time in April.
And it’s also dawned on me that I will need a decent camera to take photos with. See, I currently have a Sony Ericsson K800i as a phone and the camera on that is pretty decent for the photos I take. But I realised that if I want to take some decent photos in the City of Romance, I’ll need a better camera and plus, it’s long overdue that I get a dedicated digital cam anyway.
So, one of the things I’m looking for in a camera is for it to have Wi-Fi capabilities, so that I can transfer stuff from the camera to the Mac over Wi-Fi. I’ve grown out of wires and I’m even looking at wireless speakers to replace my current setup.
The Nikon S7C fits the bill, and it’s nice and sleek as well, but I haven’t been impressed by the sample photos posted all over the Internet and at £225, it’s kinda steep for me. It’s a nice-looking camera and all but it’s kinda important that it takes decent photos and I’m a bit surprised at the lack of “Wow” picture quality from a Nikon camera.
So if anyone has any camera recommendations, let me know!
Right, I’m off to play with this a bit more. See you all later.

I think you need to get a digital SLR. That will probably be my next purchase….
I’ve got the same cameraphone as you!

A good source for finding cameras is actually Flickr since you can look what cameras were used to take a picture, and see the general interest in a camera.

Remy - I do look at Flickr, but prefer to see what else the camera can offer by reading sites like dpreview.com and Digital Camera Resource.
Jinn - no budget for that!
