Well after looking into different memory types and asking around and getting some good feedback i thought id bring all those good answers to one topic so i cant focus" lol!
I originally had my eye on the Olympus E-500 and now i'm not so sure.
I have been recommended the D50/D80 Nikon and the Canon EOS350 however they are a little bit out my budget.
Now I've ordered my iMac i have £300 left and i could do one of these..
Buy a Camera now with my left budget or wait til 22Sep for payday and make the rest up up to £500* Total and buy a Canon or Nikon etc..
Now I've just spotted a nice cheap camera that i think could be good for me.
Kodak Easyshare P880? i could have this baby Tuesday if i ordered it.
The camera shows it can do RAW and JPEG but small print says
How can it shoot in RAW and not be usable in a Mac?
Also as I'm new to this and am looking to create a photo gallery and some A4 prints of my shoots would i need to use the RAW or just stick with the well known JPEG format? all this is confusing me and i have no idea what step i should take.
Pictures I'm hoping to take.
Landscape:
Mornings with sun coming up, all day and some low light shots
People:
As and when
Action (moving objects):
Daytime and maybe some night shots in a lamp lite street (orangery colour lights UK)
Macro:
this is something i want the camera mainly for.. bugs and flowers etc..!
Any feedback would be grateful
