Looking For A Good Digital Camera ?????

[BAC]

Been loving this walk down memory lane!

Sometimes the best camera truly is the one you have with you.  Usually a phone these days:

Forgot about the Contax G1.  The lenses for this thing were crazy good.  Been waiting for a digital successor ever since.  Some have come close.

Nice comments all. Hope everyone had a good Father's Day. For Mother's Day I got the wife the new Tamron 16-300 for her Nikons, both of which have IS  in the Lens and Body( the older Body had it built in in 2008-The new one we got at Costco a few months back which is a 2014 model). I also got her 2-32 & 2-64 gb cards so she is set now, we also have 2-32's for the Nikon Coolpix 6100 pocket, and the J1, as well as the Toshiba 1080P video cam....

A lot of people have cell phones and the cameras seem to be getting really good but I've never had one. A couple of hours ago one of my friends was talking about giving me a cell phone that belonged to her mother. My first cell phone will be nothing fancy which suits me just fine. I just want it for emergencies and don't need or want a smart phone. I don't need it to be a camera or MP3 player or anything other than a phone.

I have a Motorola Moto G smart phone for myself and my wife. I paid $100.00 for each of them, and $42.00 a month for both with service from Consumer Cellular. It has a camera that's pretty good, but nothing like the high dollar smart phones have. We're both happy with them, and I have them both paired to the hands free phone in our new Jeep. That said I would never pay high dollars for the latest Samsung or Apple smart phone. I just don't use them often enough.

My friend has been trying to talk me into getting a TracFone for years that only costs $19.99 for 90 days. I just looked online and it's only $17.99 for 90 days with Auto-Refill. I don't think I can beat cell service for $6 a month. I looked into Consumer Cellular too a while back but just kept putting off a decision on what to get. I don't even know if my new phone will have a camera on it but if it does I expect it will be crap.

I bought a camera last year and took some pictures and printed them up to show my insurance agent what I have. My music collection includes over 500 CDs and some tapes and records. If I didn't have proof of the number of CDs I have they wouldn't all be covered. My agent put the pictures in my file in case I ever have to make a claim. That's one good use for a camera that more people should take advantage of.

That's what I use, Jumbo.

I thought I got my camera last year but it was the year before. Here's a picture I took 2 years ago almost to the day. I took it in a much larger size and used Paint to shrink it down to 15% today. Even at the smaller size you can kind of make out flies on some of my daisies. I tried posting it at 20% of the original size which fills most of my monitor but it was still too big for the forum.

Is there any market for 35 MM film cameras anymore?

Unless you have Leica M series cameras/lenses, no.  Some rare cameras still fetch a decent price, but most of the common models can be had pretty reasonably.  If you're looking to sell, I would suggest contacting KEH in Georgia first.  They are the biggest used camera dealers in the country.
