Can someone please help me with a rec.? I am looking for a camera with as many of these as possible:
Continuous shots (holding down the button)
Vivid, contrast, or some similar artistic mode (in cam, not software)
Black and white (in cam, not the software)
Tripod mount (? hole)
USB able
Self timer
Remote
Flash
Movies or AVI (at least 180 seconds)
Interchangeable lens (if not, zoom like a 35mm - 200 lense)

Thanks for your time.:o

I am abit of a noob at this, but I believe you will find it hard to get a camera with an interchangeable lens and the ability to do movies

Lens convertor on a Canon Powershot or similar may be the way to go

What size camera are you looking for ?

Ultra compact - compact - mini slr type ?

By flash do you mean a good onboard or a hotshoe ?

Most digicams $250 on up have all that is on your list except the Remote. Some do it better than others, like continuous shots. 35-200mm is 6x zoom so look for one with at least 6x zoom.

Fill out the form and we can answer you better.

Thought I would get an email if someone replied. :( A built in flash is fine, and as far as budget goes, I am hoping to stay under $1500 USD, size, I am used to stadard 35mm cameras so something similar maybe comfortable. :)

standard 35mm? is that like 4"x2.5"x1.5"? or is it more like the size of a disposeable camera?

Thanks anyway. Going with a Canon EOS 5D. Not everything I wanted but close enough and I trust the Canon name. LOL!

Wowwww. The 5D is "only" about a $1,000 more than the budget and it has no flash. Get a fishy lens to go with this fisheye request. Or is it the other way around. I don't know, I'm confused. :confused:

5d is a great camera, glad someone here has the budget for it! lol. 5d has no movie mode and you will need an external flash if you're planning on doing any flash work, although the 5d is completely capable of bumping to iso 3200 without any problems at all being that it is a full framed camera. Fill flash is nice sometimes though. Also be aware that you can't use ef-s lenses with that camera, you will need to buy EF lenses due to it's sensor. Congrats on your decision.
