Orion Starshoot camera

Has anyone used / reviewed this inexpensive (and very tempting) camera? I have a C-11 XLT on a CG-5 and want to get my first camera. This one fits nicely into the budget, but I am also considering the SAC 10 for over twice the money. Any thoughts?

Hello Bennett! 8)

You should visit this site, which is dedicated to the Orion Starshoot, and will find the answers you are looking for...

I just got mine about a couple of weeks ago, and just had a chance to try it once...
It is a very simple, and yet seems very efficient little camera... you'll see some very nice shots on the website previously mentioned...

I wish I could tell you much about it, but I just started playing with it, and don't want to steer you wrong... go to the Yahoo Group and ask your questions there, you'll get plenty of answers... wink


Clear skies!

DO NOT get an SAC 10. You'll be a pro with the Starshoot before SAC even thinks about shipping you a camera. Unless you dont mind waiting six months to a year for it.
