So I'm going to replace my old digital camera and purchase a new one to take photos at ACL, I've been recommended the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300 and Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS. I've considered digital SLR's but they're crazy expensive and I'm only willing to drop $400 max.

Any recommendations, not limited to pic.

I used my old digital camera mainly to take photos while at concerts and shows, thus ACL, and a 'lil bit of people and landscapes that are then edited on photoshop - Nothing fancy.

I'm going by how he stated it and said he was looking at two p&s cameras, what are you going off of? How he said DSLR's are too expensive for him? Even if he can afford an older body it doesn't sound like he's willing to lay anymore money down for different lenses or accessories in general. Seems kind of foolish to max out his budget in this situation. Not really here to argue, just wondering why /p/ thinks everyone that comes here is into photography and needs an SLR.

Because in his post he said that he considered an SLR but that the price was the limiting factor.

And the "You think OP is going to make use of a DSLR?" smacks of elitism to me.

Not elitism, It just doesn't sound like he's going to invest more money into it. D70 + kit lens isn't going to be so significantly better than a bridge or p&s as to justify the extra money thrown at it.

Except the D70 will be a lot faster (no shutter lag, faster focusing, etc). Either way, his call. I'm just telling him that SLRs are still an option even given his budget.

OP just sounds like another fag taking pics of the concerts he goes to.

I'll give in, just let this shit die.

Not just concerts but photoshop as well.
