Going to the mountains soon..what camera should i use? Disposable or my dad's fat digital camera?

by ~~Tone~~

I’m worried my dad’s camera (List Power shot S70) will get wet or something up in the mountains. It’s a small heavier.. Should I get a disposable? Waterproof? help! What’s your opinion?
p.s I might go swimming

Answer by Asma B
Disposable

Answer by P. Bear
Digital. The quality is worth it.

Answer by On a Mission
Digital cameras have better quality, but disposable ones can be waterproof or at least water resistant. If it were me, I’d stick to the digital one – it’s a lot less hassle in the long run and you won’t have to develop the pictures to see how they came out. You can always get a case for your Dad’s camera.

Answer by MP
How bout both? Your dad’s will take better pictures, but when you’re swimming, take a waterproof disposable.

Answer by dani . =)
get one of persons disposable waterproof ones. they’re cheap, lightweight and durable, and they work well outdoors. your dads bulky one will be annoying to lug around, and it’ll probably wreck.

have fun and excellent luck!

Most of my Polaroids


Image by Hillary Stein
Since I was taking photos of my additional Polaroid photo, it inspired me to get all the Polaroid buds collectively for a family photo. I have a couple more in the closet that didn’t want to come out and play because it was too crowded for them, but this is the majority of my lovely Polaroid collection. I like them all.

sorry for the crappy lighting and my hot mess of a room, I’m in the middle of cleaning it.

oh and I have a tumblr now!

I have owned a List and the night and movement shots were incredibly noisy. I have heard the Fujifilm may be a excellent brand to avoid this. Does anyone have any knowledge of that brand?

Also, waterproof would be fantastic.

thanks!

If you are really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, check out the P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 [with a Leica lense] which has more features than most pro DSLRs that require auxiliary lenses not even equal to the single initial full-range lense that comes with the FZ28. It is reviewed at:

http://www.steves-digicams.com/2008_reviews/panasonic_fz28.html

It just came out on November 4, 2008.

It’s an all-in-one 10.1 megapixel digital camera which includes (i) built-in image stabilization; (ii) HD720 quality record [Quicktime] which permits zooming while videoing skateboarding, action sports; (iii) a 18x zoom [27 - 486 mm (35mm equiv.)] “Leica” lense for nature and concert photography; (iv) up to 0.39 inch macro option; (v) up to 6400 ASA; (vi) takes up to 380 pictures per 120 min. battery charge; (vii) has a “burst speed” of 13 fps; and sells new for $ 270 at amazon.com. in the U.S.

Here’s an actual handheld picture of the moon:
