Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am looking at buying a new digital camera to replace my VERY old one. There are to many options and I really dont know alot about them. Looking for something that will take good pics of snakes and is not too expensive. Thanks for all the help!

I personally like Nikons. Their Coolpix series are very reasonably priced and have a great macro mode.

Here is a Cannon PowerShot A300 I got at a pawn shop for 75.00. It is around 4 1/2 inches long X 2 1/2 tall X 1 1/2 thick. 5.1 zoom, Macro 5cm,2in, really cool camera. Here is a close up taken with the camera.

I just picked up a Canon PowerShot A510 that I am very happy with so far. It is on the lowend side, only 3.2 meg but it seems to do a great job. I snapped this pic before I even read how to use the camera and was happy with it.
