Hi everyone! I am in need of a new digital camera, my old one is only 2 years old, but I can't find one of the parts I need on the website anymore (I don't trust ebay), sooo i'm going to bite the bullet and buy a new one. What do you guys recommend for a great digital camera for ghost hunting that can pick up the great details like mists, orbs, etc.? Also will want one that can take movies, and has a pretty big screen on the back. Thanks so much! Oh, would like to keep it under $300 if possible.

I have been extremely happy with my Canon PowerShot camera. They just release a new one not too long ago the SD850 IS that is getting some pretty good reviews.

It appears that I may have jumped the gun on the SD850 IS, doesn't look like it is out yet. Sorry about that.

I have the SD900 and paid about $300 on eBay for it.

Do you think I should wait, or are you happy with yours and are you keeping yours for awhile??

I will be keeping mine for a while, but I also have the Fujifilm IS-1 (infrared) that I will typically be using on investigations.

Oh that sounds awesome. Bet that one is pretty pricey though and not available at Best Buy lol.

Nope, not exactly available at the corner store. It ended up running me about $1,000 after getting the memory card and filter I needed.

also check Sams, they tend to have good stuff cheap also.

If you check the TAPS fourms, C Tanner has a great thread on gear and updates when stuff goes on sale.
