Canon's

The only thing about lower end Canon's is their action shots. That is the only thing detering me. Until I see a non-blurred action shot from a Canon, they are out of the question.

Have you happened to see any of Wolfsoul's pictures of Visa? I think she has an A95, and her action pics come out really clear...

Thanks guys! A member here has been PMing me about Canon's and showed me some GREAT action shots of her doggies taken with the A510..

Are they still making/selling the A510? I tried looking for it online at local dealers and could only find it's younger brother, the A520. I have heard people prefer the A510 over the A520, and from reading reviews, I agree. To add, the A520 also has higher noise levels than the A510.

You can still buy that model online. I did a search at mysimon.com and came up with several vendors. I bought mine at Circuit City last year. I LOVE that camera!

I'm tellin ya Jess you can find an EOS Rebet XT for under $500 USD if you search froogle.com (part of google). I just searched froogle for "canon eos digital" and a BUNCH came up, most in the $400 range! And most 8.0MP

And if you use flash with the action shots 9/10 times they come out MUCH clearer than if you don't use flash

WAY out of my price range, Jess. And remember, that's USD. I was looking at cameras before and they were like 150-250 USD, and when I looked for them at Canadian dealers, they were like 350-450... so.. the exchange rate doesn't sound like a lot, but it adds up quickly.

Also, we can't buy online. So.. yeah

Ah well I had no idea of the currency exchange just that CAD was less than USD. Or maybe it was the other way around. O_o In any case, certain PowerShots are better at action shots than others. I haven't had too many problems with mine. Some come out blurry, some come out perfect lol its luck of the draw, really.

I think you asked in my last picture thread (this one ) what kind of camera I use. It's a Canon Powershot A95. As you can see from those pictures I have been able to get good action shots. Not every picture taken in action turns out great of course, it's much easier in good lighting and outside.

BC Mom:
I live just outside of Vancouver, BC and I've been looking (well, dreaming of is more lilke it) for a digicam. Now, I really don't know anything about them as I've never owned one but you can order online from the Futureshop.

...and yes, for you folks from the States, the exchange rate for us is a killer and it's always something we have to keep in mind.
