The Photograph Thread - Own Works Only! [900 pixels longest side]

Gents I'm a newcomer to this craic but I'm thinking on buying a decent camera with the view to taking some decent quality pictures of club games for our website, and possibly for a club calendar. Any suggestions on what camera I could get that isn't going to bankrupt me?

While I'm here - I also want to buy a decent GoPro that would be able to film club games, but I could also take on holiday. Again nothing insane, I wouldn't want to spend much more than 200sterling on either. Am I being unrealistic? Can you take decent pictures with a GoPro video camera? If I could kill two birds with one stone that would be mighty.

Thanks lads.

If you are not a professional you could try this cheap imitation of the GoPro: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mobius-ActionCam-Full-HD-Sports-Camera-1080P-30FPS-720P-60FPS-Pocket-Camcorder-/151071891306?rmvSB=true

Far, far cheaper than the GoPro and ideal for someone dipping their toes in this sort of stuff. The one drawback of the Mobius is that there is no viewer so you just turn it on and point. The quality is good though and it records for about 4 hours. Battery lasts an hour but you can use a USB connector to use it beyond an hour.

No viewer though! That can t work so well can it?

If you use it on, say your car, bike helmet, set it up to record a match etc, you can easily manage without a viewer. Otherwise you will need to connect it via USB to a devise to see anything.
