Search ebay for Nikon D1 or Canon EOS D30.

One of those along with an inexpensive 50mm lens can capture very good photos.

Let's see your HOT DEAL bro!

Adam will be a great help in this topic, because I think the OP doesn't know what he's talking about. No doubt he'll be set straight in the long run.

I actually did post that link about one hundred times since just before Christmas. The Mods saw fit to blow away my original topic on the subject, because I offered it up to ATOT instead of Hot Deals, with that disclaimer in the topic title. Fvck those leaches. They'd have just bought it up and flipped it on Ebay. Sorry you've had to read about it so frequently, but the whole thing pissed me off.

well ok about color: I've seen the shots I take with my SD200 and I've seen the shots my friend takes with his Nikon D50. There is a difference.. Let's just leave it at that. I want smooth color range like the D50 without paying $700.

GOOD F0CKING LUCK!

Once you have seen a DSLR colours when 'not cropped' you can really appreciate the colours more. Just SMOOTH and non existent noise in the pics. Very nice pictures from a D70.

You will just have to down size your pics and it looks better for P&S cameras I'm afraid. BUT how often will you print big images? They will have noise in them when you view them 1:1 on a monitor.

You'll point out that it's not a matter of "color" setting them apart, but sharpness, or even poor automatic settings on his existing camera. Of course, he doesn't care to discuss that, "Let's just leave it at that." :roll:

Matter of fact, I'm still waiting for the examples!

Buy another Canon from Dell using a coupon :evil: and learn how to properly take pictures.

Man, that's not too generic, is it? :roll:

Can you be a little more specific? I'm betting the one he has now can actually do as good a job as any other < $400.00 camera, where color is concerned. Personally, I doubt color accuracy is the problem here. I could prove it if I could see some stinkin' examples!

I want to get a new camera because the pic quality of my Canon SD200 sucks. The most important thing to me is pro-quality lifelike color (accurate balance and good shadow detail and such).

I know $400 is pretty low for this, but I'm willing to buy an old used model. I'm sure there are some old good quality DSLR's getting cheap these days.

What do you recommend?

I recommend posting a pic from your sucking camera so we can get an idea of what you are talking about.
