It really is!

And thanks, guys. I'm asking for a friend who's in the market for a new, small camera. Limited budget and all.

I can't find it online (I know it's out there) but Augusta got a blue ribbon at the fair this summer for her selfie with Chester.

For $65 it seems like a great camera to always have along. It takes special batteries tho, so you might look into what a second battery and wall charger would run you. Or just get in the habit of charging it when you charge your phone...

 
i just looked thu the specs, didnt notice the battery issue. im guessing that they all have proprietary batteries. it could make this a $100 camera by the time its delivered. not sure its worth that much.

Any thoughts about this Samsung on Woot?



 
for 60 bucks, its good for having a camera with you at all times. i refer to this as an "alien camera" because you never know when those guys will show up and you dont want to be caught without a camera. it is also good for kayaking. even though its not waterproof, its only 60 bucks.
 
if you are at all serious about improving your photography and taking it to the next level, i'd look for something else. yoou would probably need to spend about $300. 
 
if you are interested, i'll help you look.

You can get an adapter to make the older (FD) mount lenses work with the newer (EF or EF-S mount) bodies.  But, you'll be shooting full manual.  There are no wrong choices now with the DSLRs, but you really need to go to a camera store and try them out.  Maybe even rent a body/lens combo and try it out before you buy it!

 
Amen.  They all work identically fantastically.  They do NOT all feel the same in the hand.  Far from it.

Recommendations for a digital SLR for ~ $500-ish.  ???

And are lenses interchangable if you have, for example, an old Cannon zoom lens that originally came with an AE-1?  If so then I guess I'd lean towards a Cannon just because I have that lens.
