I am looking to get my first digital camera and with a tight budget. I don't want anything TOO complicated, but would still like to get some good wakeboard pics. Any suggestions? I guess i'm probablly looking for just a good "point and shoot"! Thanks for any help

wahts your budget... a tight one is relative... I have a tight budget but I'm also considering some bodies are up to like 6 or 7k and lenses... woah.. Really I would just look at the nikon or canon at your price range and you will prob be able to get a good point and shoot. Seems like nikon makes the best point and shoots... and canon makes the best dslr's, lol (my oppinion obviously)...

Yeah...my "tight" is a little different. I'm looking 2 spend only a few hundered. HEHE! But i will look into the nikon's then. In a perfect world i would buy the canon rebel but.........you know! Thanks for the help though!

well... in buying the rebel its not just a body you have to buy... the investment really goes to lenses and maybe flash systems and all that stuff... good luck on your search, but I dont think you can really go wrong sticking with that line up.

www.dpreview.com has a wonderful camera review section.

Also, don't hesitate to buy a used camera from ebay or fredmiranda.com

You might be able to get a DSLR in your price range @ a used price.
