any tripod that will fit all 3? or will i need to get special attatchments?

also... for my imaging class i need a 5megapixel camera... should i just get a cheap 5 megapixel camera for under $400? or should i just spend 800+ and get a digital rebel?

can't decide!

Your class actually specified that you need a 5 megapixel camera? That's kinda dumb.

Tripods use a standard size thread. Anything should fit.

they said...they would like a 5megapixel cam.
but if we have a 3 megapixel thatd be fine.

but as you can see i have a s200 which is 2mp.

what i can do is rent a nikon coolpix that they have. but i would have to buy a flash card for it because they only come with 32mb cards. and that wouldnt be helpful..thatd be like 8 pictures and itd be full.

so instead of buying a memory card im thinking of just buying a camera.

the Canon A95 is 5 megapixels at 399 or 499 (I can't remember which)...and I'm pretty positive it'd take to any standard tripod.

Is this an "Imaging" class or actually a photography class? I always recommend going film with photo classes, when you're just starting out, and learning all the basics.
