Default RE: Need a Good Digital Camara for R/C shots.

Stepping up-----
Only two real choices -in types
An SLR or a fast burst mode with a high optical magnification.
The money- from about $400 (burst types) to $800- $1100 SLR types
If it isn't an SLR -- there is that little "focus time" -which will cause you to miss a shot on all the others . So burst type is the fix.
The SLRs will shot rapidily and generally have better chips for more image.
Look for a minimum of 6 mega pix and a interchangable lens or a good adjustable one .
The Canon Rebel is good.
As soon as you drop below this type there are a jillion types and brands and models and down to a hundred bucks -all will do terrific slow speed or still shots
I spent $700 bucks a for my first digital - a Sony Mavica -which by present standards is a stone age device- Mine still works fine has a 10x lens. But it now is on the "shelf" with my Nikon 35 stuff and an old Kodak-etc
Kodak announced they are shutting down more photopaper factories here and abroad -in the mad scramble to switch over to digital.
I don't miss anything about my old film stuff - even thop I had a tiny darkroom and did my own work when I was thirteen.
Iwill knock out 50 shots going for one now -without giving it a seconds thought .
