I want to compare a few cameras. Does anyone know where I can look to get user reviews and shit like that?


I'm ordering online, so I cant play with them, but I want to find out as much as possible about them first.

theres a thread around here somewhere about this. but you can try cnet.com i think they're the best place to compare electronics

epinions.com is very good as well

I think I've decided on a camera.

The Fuji FinePix S602. It's around $600.

Anyone else have any experience with this camera? All of the reviews say its a power and storage hog. But is that fairly normal with a camera? I know the little one's go forever, but is it normal for a better camera to do that?

I paid 500 for the Olympus c-3020, at Best Buy, back in May. I am very happy with it. Got a great review as well.

Not really...but power is something you can compensate for with a spare set of batteries, or if your camera has a port, a larger external power pack. A friend of mine has the Fuji digital SLR, and loves it. My wife has an olympus 4 megapixel, and her shots look great-almost as good as my 35mm scans from negatives (which top out at around 5 megapixels).

Let me know how you like it, as I am thinking of getting that Fuji digital SLR. It uses the same Nikkor lenses my 35mm system uses, and since I've invested a lot of cash on those, it's an important factor in my decision. And it's several hundred dollars cheaper than the Nikon digital.

$600 !!! Holy Hell!

What does $100 get you? Pencil & paper?

When I was looking into buying, I went to a Canadian site called megapixel.net and was pretty impressed with the site. I'm pretty sure it's Canadian, anyhow, it had French and English sections.
