nadinbrzezinski Ok quandary timeThe tough works fine with occupy. In fact, taking anything more pricey, even with press credentials, is just nuts. But here is the question, the tough 610 has some very real limits. We have a Nikon rig, a pretty good rig, with nice lenses. I am thinking putting money away for a Nikon 1 V or an entry level DSLR. No, I don't want to take hubby's toy! I also have not done any serious photography in a long time. The Nikon 1 is still nice and compact, but of that class of camera is not the best. The Sony are...and while the Nikon 1 could use the lenses, it needs an adaptor and in classic Nikon fashion flash shoe is custom...but it is fast and can record both video and stills, which hubby's older Nikon rig can't. So adaptor and new flash and all that puts us well within the price of a mid range camera with lens. But just getting the body we already have lenses and standard flash. We could save a little money... But the Nikon 1 is compact, which can be important when shooting in the streets. It is also really fast in image acquisition, again important is a few situations. Suffice it to say, will still carry the tough 610 as backup, primary for occupy or raining cats and dogs. No, water proofing cameras is not cheap, though the Nikon I the easiest, followed by the Sony mirror less systems. By the way I have been reading reviews and the whole class of mirror less cameras is a whole revelation to me. Suffice it to say, I do futz with the settings on the camera, but when shooting action, or convention photos it is mostly in full auto...there is an actual limit of how many tasks I can carry out at the same time, and only have two hands.

I've seen some of her pics.I can do a better job with my Canon SX130 PowerShot, and the only thing I'm proficient at doing with it is turning it on!Got it for $200 on sale at Walmart Christmas 2010, including the 4GB SD memory chip.
I have a Kodak "Brownie" from 1962.But I've never used it; it'd belonged to an older sister.Me, I use those $5 disposable cameras one buys at convenience stores when I need to take a picture of something.I'd match my talent up against nadin's any time. It's not the equipment, but the handling.
Frank, you really, REALLY should never use "handling" and "equipment" in any thread involving nads. The mental images are just too disturbing.

I take better pictures with my cellphone than Nads is capable of with an actual camera. Getting an expensive DSLR isn't going to help her at all.
nadinbrzezinski Ok quandary time grab some quarters, we're going to the quandry matThe tough works fine with occupy. say what? In fact, taking anything more pricey, even with press credentials, *snort* is just nuts. But here is the question, the tough 610 Just a normal point-n-shoot has some very real limits. We have a Nikon rig, a pretty good rig, with nice lenses. got a feeling it's a film camera I am thinking putting money away for a Nikon 1 V ILC type camera or an entry level DSLR. No, I don't want to take hubby's toy!please rephrase that I also have not done any serious photography in a long time.

Suffice it to say, she should do like Frank and buy the disposable rigs.
In one post Nads of Arc refers to "...hubby's kit...", and alternately to various "rigs". Is this actual 'photographer jargon', or more Nadinese?Not being a photographer myself, I really don't know. Inquiring minds, and all that.
Anybody find the link to the OP?Fun time.Never ending comedy.Where did her supperdupper underwater wonder camera go to?You know, the one that caused a major media stampede for camera batteries? Nads, listen deary.Skip the ILC type and just buy an entry level DSLR.You'll have a better "rig", and it'll actually save you money.
It's either more nadinese or someone who turned in their cool card in the 70s.
The fact that anyone with a cheap disposable camera can do a far better job then she can should be her first clus about her lack of talent. Nads is one person with no brains,no talent and not one decent thing about her and yet she keeps hounding the DUmp with her crunchy news. Talk about being bullied.
