Looking to get a camera to take pictures from the boat and download father inlaw has a olympus e10 asking 875 for it and was wondering if that would work ok. I have used it before just for action stuff i am not to good with the e10 comes with all the bells extra battery pack and stuff just wanted everyones two cents ?
I have a minolta maxxum 650si I use alot I was wondering if switching to a digital one would be cheaper? and if not whjat is a good lens to get for wakeboarding pics behind a boat? Lens i have no is 20 80 AF with macro
Also, to answer your other post, YES, IMHO Digital will be cheaper than film over the long run, as you don't have film or processing costs.
The ability to view your pics as you take them and make adjustments accordingly is a Major plus for amateurs like you and me. Digital helped me take my photos to the new level much faster than shooting film did (again just my opinion from my personal experiences as a "wannabe" photographer). Heres some of my "wannabe" photos for example.
