DigiCam Recommendations

I need a nice, sturdy, reliable (that won't up with a little beach sand, etc.) and quality digital camera for this summer, and that takes vid clips longer than just 30 sec. Something in the range of $500 USD. Also one that runs on AA batteries instead of rechargables and thats fast/easy to set up on netcafe computers to upload pics/vids.
Can anyone recommend anything?

let's be serious, digital cameras are for taking digital pictures, not videos. video quality isn't that great usually.

i'd recommend investing into a canon |

Just $330,-
It's better in making pictures than videos though...
Epinions is a great review site btw :) |
leica makes really good camera lenses if i'm not mistaken... thanks i'll check it out...
EDIT: looks good, but the 10 fps makes me cringe...
as for cannon, i was gonna go for the S400 originally, it seems really good and the reviews are all positive...

i want one too but those things are way too heavy to carry aroun in a club cos thats mostly where i take photographs
and if ur thinking of taking those on a trip...best of luck in enjoying urself cos ur gonna be worrying bout ur camera the whole time...
unless ur into professional photography as a hobby or a proffession, its pointless to get an SLR |

| If i were you id go with Nikon. They specialize in lens technology. I just bought a Nikon Cool Pix 4300 Camera. Its amazing. 4.0 megapixel 12 scene modes. PM me and i can show you some pics ive taken with it. |

Only brands you can go for are canon or nikon
But in my best suggestion the powershot canon cameras beat the nikon cameras by a lot in quality and clarity. The images are much sharper and you can change the lens :). I was about to buy a coolpix camera but then I read the reviews and asked my friend for advice since he's a pro at digital cameras. Lucky bastard got a digital rebel for 1700 with new lens and a gig card :p.
I have the powershot a80 4 megapixel and its amazing. If you saw my panorama shot thread thats what it looks like. I just resized the image since the max size was huge.
But ya if you check the top 5 in that price range the powershots are the best. |

| Powershot S400 is a very nice, and small camera. No complaints here, except I haven't quite figured out how to do wide angle shots. You might want to also invest in a larger CompactFlash card, as 16MB isn't that much, as you'll soon find out. |

i got myself a canon s400 last year. i love the cam, its compact, 4 megapixels, etc.. it came with a 32mb card, i then bought myself a 256.
i also got the chance to play around with an olympus 3 megapixel cam, the pics turned out awesome with that cam.
but, i still prefer my canon :D |
