Looking to upgrade my camera, need advice

Don't look at HP. The zoom and megapixels may look appealing but they really are crap.

Have you looked into any of the Sony cameras? I've used the F717 and it's a very nice camera. I'm looking to sell it if your interested, comes with the 1.7x teleconverter and a few other accessories. Drop me a PM and i'll give you more info about it.

thanks for the input everyone,

I don't want to go DSLR just yet until I learn more about photography and technique. an expensive piece of glass and DSLR body in the hands of an idiot still gives crap photos just joking...

I will do some more reading and will post which i get!

feel free to jump in with anymore cameras to consider thou...

save your $$$$$$ and get a digital rebel!!!!!!!!!!!! dont waste your time on those camera


or save even longer and get a 10D or a D70

Or if you do that you would get a much better camera. But i you need one now the Olympuses are the best P&S cameras.

I read a review in Mac World that says the C-765 (which is cheaper than the C-770) produces better quality images even though the sensor and optics of both cameras are the same. Another camera to consider is the older C-750 for about $300.
If you don't mind spending a bit more, go for a D-SLR! Used D30 go for about $600 now on ebay.

Which do you all think will give the best results for aircraft photography? My budget is $500, I'd like 10x or 12x optical and 4 megapixels.
I am looking at both the Dimage z3 or a Lumix fz15.

thanks for any advice!
