Olympus has a line of shockproof/waterproof ( xxxx SW ) cameras that are nice.
If you ever killed a camera due to water or dropping it, take a look at the 1030 SW

In general all of todays $200-$500 small cameras are very good and it comes down to a few features and what type of memory they use ( SD is best/cheapest, XD and Memory Stick are not as common and cost a bit more )
New Features are Face Recognition, Anti-Shake, Smile Mode (waits for someone to smile, then takes picture), etc..
Optical Zoom is also a factor.


Don't concentrate on Mega Pixels, its irrelevant whether it has 6mp or 10mp.

snick  what you say with regards to megapxels is  correct to a certain degree.whats more important is the size of the DIS digital image sensor. ALL digital cameras have one, and to the layman they basically take the place of the film in SLR cameras ie kodak 100asa 35mm film.
Most rangefinder camera's have pretty small image sensors, where as most DSLRs have bigger ones. ie my Nikon D80 is approx 24X16mm . if you  shell out  heaps  on a Nikon d3 you will get what is called a full size sensor 36X24 mm almost exactly the size of old film.
Now a 12mega-pixel DSLR , with a 24x36 Digital image sensor(full size) is  going to take hugely better photos than a say nikon coolpixs with 6 mega-pixel.
other factors that should be considered when purchasing a digital camera  are?? how big  do i want to blow the shots up. its fine to show a photo at A4   taken with a  small rangefinder with 6-8 mega-pixels, and say its a great pic "as good as any with a 20 mega-pixel camera".  yes it is to a certain degree. BUt try blowing it up bigger than a4 and see what happens
dont get me wrong here these rangefinders are great cameras and easy to use, but they do have limitations.

here is an interesting article form the new york times. read the attached blog,as well as the opening gambit. it gives some very interesting points on the mega-pixel thing'' well worth the read http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm

I was talking about small point and clicks, not SLRs

With SLRs sensor size (which is semi-related to megapixels) is one of the biggest factors.
I may buy a Canon 5D this year, because it is a Full Size sensor unlike a 'crop' sensor like my current 40D.

Mr Rockwell is a Nikon apologist. As far as he's concerned if it's not Nikon it's not a camera. His camera "reviews" should be seen in that light. He rubbishes Sony etc but most SLR Nikons have Sony sensors.

[donnnnnny]

most cameras will do the job.as long as you know how to operate the thing. NIKON Canon, sony(minolta) etc are all good makes at reasonable prices .Or Hasselblad if you want to spend alot
Mr rockwell 's thread on mega-pixels has little to do with brands,. It is on, mega-pixels, and there worth. some of what he states is true but there are a huge amount of facts that he leaves out of his experiment.

read the attached forum and you start to get the real picture
ps had no idea he was a NIKON nut.

[Torurot]

What he say's on megapixels is fine up to a point. Google "mega pixel myth" or "megapixel myth" for more than you ever wanted to know about it. lenses quality is as/more important as the number of megapixels.

Very very few people print A0 or bigger where the megapixels would get noticed, and at around $50+ bucks a shot on photographic paper no wonder. I'd say few even bother with A4 (~8"x11")

[donnnnnny]

Quite right mr torurot, there are many factors that add to a camera taking a good photo.Lens quality ,printers(dpi) , iso settings , noise, etc etc etc . personally i dont print pics much at all. i store em on disc and show em on the 42ins plasma (philips)tv set, slide show modern style

Need a little advice?
I would like to buy a macro lense for trying out some close up photography, would it be a better buy in bangkok than in the uk?
Also my main use would be for food photography, so i would need a lense for real close up shots and attention to detail?
Any help would be a bonus
thankyou.

Compared to USA and Canada, prices in Thailand for photographic equipment are more expensive. I understand there is a high tax situation in the UK, so I would suggest checking the pricing before your trip so you will know if you can get it less in LOS. If you happen to visit Hong Kong or Singapore during your trip you will probably be able to buy less from those places, although not as good as USA.

There are other options for macro photography if you are only going to do it occasionally. Extension tubes, or close up adapters (look like filters) may be ok - especially if you have some good lenses to start with. These are much less expensive than a dedicated macro lens that might be rarely used.

[marshal]

I am still a novice so it could be an idea to try extension tubes.
Are sd cards cheaper in los?

[rxpharm]

I would think they are cheaper in Thailand than in UK - I've seen prices almost the same as Canada, so that is pretty good.

Some no name brands are quite inexpensive, however, they may write to the card at slower speeds than some of the name brands - so check the writing speed before you buy. If it is 20 MB/second or faster that is pretty good. (about 133x). Pretty important if you are into action photography and shoot in bursts.
