1st camera
1st camera
Want to buy a camera, it'll be my first.. will be using it initially for portrait shots..(pics of a 'model' for his portfolio) and i guess pics of my cat!! Afraid budget's tight, would i be able to get anything less than S$150? If so, what model? thanks

I think 150 is a lil on the very low side.
if that's all you can throw in in SGD, i suggest u better get a film camera.
most cameras less than $300 are just toys. they can take an image, but they don't take acceptable images. acceptable means blue remains blue, red remains red, a patch of colour does not have too much noise (dots and discoloured stuff). well if you're taking close up portraits, forget about those toys. the noise and sstuff will only be emphasized under those low light conditions .
if u can, stretch it to $200+, buy a second hand canon A40 to A70 series camera. perfect for beginners, takes wonderful pictures, uses AA batteries, uses cheap CF cards.
