Hi all

Im back to ask for some advice again :o)

This time its what stills camera I should go for.

I need a new stills camera for taking the pics for my new site. With regards to camera specs and all that, im more specialised at being on the other side of the lens! So, Im leaving this in your hands!

The pics are just for web use. Any advice gratefully received (or if you are looking to sell a camera please do pass the info on to me)

I will be checking back on here or you can get me on laptop@sexy-harmony.com

Thanks xx

Have a look at the Canon EOSD400, Sony Alpha A100, Olympus E-300 or Nikon D70.

If you don't want an SLR the Fuji Finepix S9500 is not to be sniffed at.

But if you have a spare ?17K go for a Hasselblad with Phase One P45 back.

Still a ludite film user and use anything from a 1947 Kodak Duaflex to a Zero Image Zero 2000.

My current favourite is a Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim (?0.99 + ?3.80 p&p), plastic 22mm wide angle lens, f11 and 1/125 fixed.

Digital just can't do what I want to do.

Forgot to mention I love the Holga too.

Crapcams - it's the future.
