bumblebee Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 For any of your guys thinking of buying a new camera, here are a couple of links to help you out. They deal with the different types of camera, what to look out for, and recommend the best in each category. Should be of use to some of you. http://www.pcworld.com/article/125645-2/how_to_buy_a_digital_camera.html http://www.cameralabs.com/buyers_guide/best_digital_cameras.shtml Quote Link to comment
pdogg Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Nice resource BB. Noob question here, if bringing a camera bought in the States to the LOS or vice versa, is there any AC/DC issues with using the charger? Quote Link to comment
bumblebee Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Nice resource BB. Noob question here, if bringing a camera bought in the States to the LOS or vice versa, is there any AC/DC issues with using the charger? Good question, and to be honest I am not sure. My 2 Panasonices are the North American models/versions of the camera. One I bought in MBK and the charger worked fine, both in Thailand and Ireland, the other I bough online, and it works fine on the Irish electrical system. Quote Link to comment
beachboy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I use a Nikon D3000 with a variety of lenses , charging is no issue unless you are of the 110v variety even then you just need a $10 adaptor, mine is UK spec and is the usual 220-240 v. One tip though if you are planning a trip and have a SLR ,check out buying aditional lens in LOS ,I picked up a basic 70mm-300mm auto focus with stabiliser for 6100bht at big camera shop in Central then 7% tax refund at the airport , cheapest price in UK for identical lens was £190 which is around 9000bht. Hi Fido! :-) I bought a Nikon S3000 before my last trip and it's smarter than me by a long way. Still learning but it's given some good pics so far, even for me. Beachboy Quote Link to comment
