jayne I think you could police a Canon G9 for that price, or slightly more. I think theres a camera copping thread somewhere, check it out

Also check out Dpreview.com great website for reviews

Hope this helps

i agree check out dpreview they're usually really good and really accurate but don't take them as ur only recommendation they can be a little harsh about some subject bc they take it from a purely technical side

[fndmybetterhalf]

im in need of a new tripod...something under $100, sturdy. any recommendations?

also, I was just at the local shop talkin about UV filters. noticed theres diferent price ranges from like $15 to like $100. I've always used the B+W UV filters that cost like $20-30. Is there any benefit of having a more expensive UV filter other than protection and clearer glass?

kenrockwell is also a great review site. He's heavily biased to certain things I feel like but he's very very honest about the things he reviews.

Check eBay. I got a Velbon El Carmagne 530 for $130 (retails for $290). I'm sure you can get some good deals on the Bogen 3021 w/ some head. It's not going to be as lightweight as carbon fiber, but it's solid.

B+W UV Haze MRC filters are all that you need.

[masuerte]

^ hey thanks man, I needed that advice too. I'd rather go for something solid anyways... I'm always freaked with my tripod accidentally tipping over etc.

and to wisie... that is a damned beautifully composed beach picture... very moving even though it's cliche. I hope I have a pic like that of me someday.

[fndmybetterhalf]

thanks doug, def checkin ebay and craigslist.

i had an acident once with my D50 on a cheap 20$ tripod. tipped over off a platform, camera landed flat on concrete but thankfullly there wasnt any damage

Are you using Z Pro holder for the extra wide angle? I need to get me one, except probably with a Lee filter instead.

Dude, you could try try a brand of tripod that's Benro. I know all the bollocks of stuff being made in China, but this tripod has been sweared by a couple of my friends, and by the looks of it, the benro tripod is affordable and sturdy. worth every cent.

By far, to my knowledge, a better filter gives you more clarity. (without filter gives you the best of your len's capability).
