Don't forget you could probably price match one escort agency against another.

If I could find a G3 for $300....
I dunno. I already have an A70 and I'm happy with it. Maybe I'd look at Nikon or Olympus?

Well I just went to hookers.com to do a price match but the site was down.

 

[Renob]

WTH I thought this was about cameras????


BTW I did find a 20% off hooker deal on google

If Amex BVG was still around, imagine the possibilities.

Serious though I would get a Fuji Finepix 2600/2650, Nikon Coolpix 2100/2500/3100 or Canon A40/A60/A70.

My favorite pick of course is the Canon A70, 3.2MP, 3x optical zoom, brand new model recently introduced, USB, accepts good 'ole CHEAP CompactFlash media and takes AWESOME pics.

Here are some actual pics taken from a Canon A70:

I just got the Canon A70 and it rocks. Go for nimh AA batteries and a 128 or 256 meg card.

Hmm, S300 would be nice if I hadn't recently bought this S200. For $300 I would go for an A70. Maybe like a S40 if you can find some more money. I know my co-worker is quite impressed with his S45 as am I.

i would save my money, save more, and get a better one. increase your budget by $200. and by then, you can get a good camera.

Actually... on second thought, if this is gonna be your second camera, minuswell make it good. If it was a first I'd recommend an A70 to get you started or something. But if it's your second, minuswell get something real good.

So yeah, I'd recommend saving up.

 

[Renob]

more input please, bump

 

[Joony]

Canon S400!

Theres no contest quality-wise, Canon blows everything else out of the water, including Olympus, Nikon and whatever else. Have a look an the web for reviews on the multitude of digital camera sites then choose one within your price range. And get a hefty memory card.
