Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

Anyone know a site with images or lists of Digital Camera's with the Shutter button on the LEFT (not Right)

I would like 2MP+ & under £200 with Flash for indoor use.

Any ideas? I looked on Google but cant see anything? :confused:

Thanks

My digi cam got the button on the back.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

The Panasonic SV-as10 is a rather wierd looking 2MP camera and has shutter release buttons on both sides (one on the right hand side, and one on the left hand side of the back).

Might be what you want.

Panasonic list it's price at £250, so a bit above your price range.

http://www.bestcameras.co.uk have the older, as3 at £150 though. I don't know if this has the shutter release on both sides.

Turn the camera upside down :D

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

As you have to hold the camera with both hands i dont find that using the right hand for the shutter button a problem. In fact i prefer to hold the telephoto lense with the left hand as it makes it more stable for me.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

left handed and a 'right handed' camera works fine for me , is it just something you want or something need for a reason :)

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

You could always use a tripod or a monopod?

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

Always one is'nt there :D

Nope its not a "Want" its a "NEED":p:

I use my Feet to do everything. Being Disabled I have to have the Shutter button on the LEFT (I hold Camera with foot but need button on left for my hand)

I am currently using a Archos AV380 + AV300 Camera

(Front View) From Rear Button on LEFT (Above the Flash)

Going to miss the 80GB Memory card this Beauty has :mad: But Quality in Day with Flash is CREPE

So any other Recomendations? One with a Remote Controll would be OK :D

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

The Cannon IR remote control is very good, but does not work on all their compact camera range. It does not work on my A80 for example, so check before you buy. Most cannons respond to the the same remote commands and by buying the more advanced remote you can get one with a switch for off / 0 delay (great for what you want, equivilant to a cable push arrangement of old) / 2 second delay for if you are in front of the camera.

Cannon image systems are fantastic and a 128Mb card is cheap as chips (boom boom) these days, though for a 4MP camera I would recommend a 256 card as that gives you plenty of room.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

Canon EOS Range have R/C feature. But £400 :mad: lol
Any ideas?

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

A remote was supplied with my Olympus mju410 a year ago. That's proven to be a great little camera. Shutter button is on the right side though, and don't know if the camera would be too small or fiddly for you to grip comfortably, especially with the sliding lens cover on the front.

The Canon Powershot S1 IS supports a wireless remote:

(remote is down list on RHS)

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canons1is/
http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=wl-dc100&hl=en

It is being replaced by the S2 very shortly (which apparently DOESN'T support the remote) so look out for some bargains.

Looking at the Canon site, the WL-DC100 remote control appears to support the EOS300D and the PowerShots S70, S60, G6, S1-IS and Pro-1.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

That's 400 without a lens ;) Mine was 500 with an 18-55mm but WELL worth it, I'd never use a cruddy compact again.

The Canon wireless remote also comes with the G5 and supports the Powershot Pro 90, S60, S70, G5 & G6

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

Getting me an EOS350D as soon as funds allow .. awesome cameras the Canon EOS range. :tu: £640 though :disturbd:

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

I wouldn't bother, I had enough to get either a Nikon D70, EOS 300D or EOS 350D, the D70 suffered from slight colour representation and abberation problems, the 350D with it's extra 2mp has introduced a slight (barely noticeable mind) noise factor into it's shots but the 300D has the same innards as a 10D and you can put hacked firmware on it to get all the 10D features, plus you save 100-200 quid which you can put towards a decent USM lens.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

A few things have swung me from the 300 to the 350... the vastly better RAW - jpeg processing means that you don't have to use the space hungry RAW if you can live with the very slight quality drop.
Far better continuous shooting (57 frames in 30 secs compared to 15 frames in jpeg for the 300D and 32 to 9 in RAW), battery life and startup time... all of which are very important for me.

I agree with you on the lense though, I will get the body-only option on this one and find a decent sigma probably.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

Pardon me for piggybacking, but...

I'm planning on going fully digital so I'm looking at getting the D70 because I've got a fair amount of money already invested in Nikon lenses for my F601

Were the problems you mention with the D70 just a one-off or is it on all models? I've looked at various reviews and mostly they're positive and don't mention colour problems.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

That's comparing the D70 to the 300D, don't get me wrong, if it had have been the same price as the 300D I'd have bought one like a shot, they're fantastically manufactured, but sample scenic shots taken with a D70 did have more noise than the 300D even if it's barely noticeable it was enough to convince me to save the extra money towards a decent lens. Also, from what I've read Nikon lenses seem to range from cheap and not so good to horrifically expensive with very little middle ground.

Ah see I only ever use RAW (then straight into CS2) with a couple of 1 gig Sandisk Ultra III CF cards and the continuous shooting wasn't really a selling point for me. I don't have a problem with startup times, approx. 2 seconds from powering on to ready to shoot and I use a battery grip with 2 batteries but even with one the battery life was fantastic, I've taken the camera out for the last 3 weekends and it's still on full charge.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

I'd go with that too, had me 300D over a year now and cant fault it. I bought a second battery (not a Canon but a hight mah battery) based upon how long the batteries used to last in my S40. However it was a bit of a waste as the battery in the 300D lasts quite well

Try taking photos then :D Seriously, as i said above, this is my experience too

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

I'd like to see some of your 300D shots you two (gaz and sean).. got any online?

Once I get myself a good macro lense I'd like to be able to achieve something like this:

I'll dig some out for you, I'm the worlds worst photographer though.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

Cool, thanks mate.
I'm sure that second bit isn't true, even a point and clicker should be able to get by with the 300D ;)

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

It's all about exposure, I don't normally use auto and generally end up with the wrong ISO, aperture and shutter speeds.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

Just tell people that it's your artistic interpretation ;)

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

I also manage to go out on day's when there's very poor light, normally when it's very cloudy and grey but the sun still manages to ruin the exposure on water shots, leaving the scenery too dark and the water with loads of glare. Yesterday would have been perfect it was really sunny with no haze and you could see all the Donegal hills perfectly .. left the camera at home though :(

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

You do have the advantage of the beautiful Emerald Isle to inspire you... I'd love to do a tour at some point. The Causeway was great when I came over for my mates stag party, but I'd love to see more of the country.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

The causeway is a bit fugly compared to a lot of the south, I've not really found anywhere north of the border yet worth photographing.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

Picture not the best, but can be used either hand and also comes with a flexable trypod attachment

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

WOW lots of Replies. :D Thanks Guys (& Gals)

Not much choice for me :rolleyes: http://www.kapshop.com/gentled/gentled.html looked good but not sure if it would work for my needs.

I saw a Mustek DV5500 it has a Hand strap like Digital CamCorders. That would be OK.But Mustek DV5500 quality is not GOOD :rolleyes:

The Hunt is still ON. Going to Asda to see what they sell & try a few out. But I would have liked a R/C type thing or a way to press the shutter by a Clip on thing.

If anyone knows a Camera with R/C for £200 or LESS. Or a Clip on Shutter presser thingy madgig :p: Please post here

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

Canon S1 IS can be obtained for £230 + R/C

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

How about an ordinary cable release:

with a holder that fits to the tripod mount:

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

Ah, ok, noted.

I've just read a review of the D70s where it suggests that the price of the D70 should take a major dip in the near future, so I may well hang on a bit longer.

Thanks.

Re: Left Handed Digi Camera's???
 

Shipped from H/K :Yikes:


Ok I saw this after searching Google also... http://www.silverprint.co.uk/acc12.html How do these "Cable Release" systems hook up to a Normal Camera (£200 or less) like a Fuji ? The Mount you showed is discontinuted. So a Tripod, Mount & Cable Release is needed & it all hooks up to work ?

Cheers
