canon digital camera sx150 image
Tacson
I'm new to photography, i want to get a new digital camera, how do i differentiate if the digital camera is good? (good for focusing, good iso, good shutter speed, exposure?) the megapixels of the digital camera doesn't guarantees good ,sharp, focused photos from what i know.
Answer
If you are looking for a compact camera, the best ones are in the 10~12MegaPixel range, and about 4x to 7x zooms.
Too many people fall for huge super zoom lenses, such as 30x zooms. However their optical quality is not as good as the smaller zoom range that I recommend, and some of those super zooms are downright awful. So to get the best optical quality, 4x to 7x are usually the best lenses.
Also, too many people fall for overkill in MegaPixels. For a compact camera, 10Mp to 12Mp is ideal. If you go higher, then the camera's low light performance suffers, as well as the shutter lag is increased. All those extra pixels require more processing speed to process - which just slows down the camera. This is especially true for compact cameras as to keep them inexpensive, they have slow electronics.
The individual models I recommend are the Canon G12, Canon S100, Nikon P7100 or Nikon P310.
These are the best compact cameras in my view, and they all have manual exposure controls (as well as automatic), and all but the Nikon P310, they all have physically larger sensors than the average camera.
But if you are on a budget, the Canon SX130 is the best inexpensive camera in my view. They are getting harder to find, so a substitute would be the SX150 - but I think the performance of the SX130 is a bit better, as Canon has crossed the overkill threshold somewhat with the SX150.

Looking for an affordable digital camera with manual settings?

Im looking for a digital camera that has manual settings for things like appeture, shutter speed, and exposure. My price range is in the $100 area. Thanks so much :)
Answer
The best/cheapest camera with manual settings is the Nikon P310 which is currently around $150 or $175.

The other option is the Canon SX150, around $110 - but it is AA powered, so allow $20 or so for a set of rechargeable batteries and charger. Also, the SX150 is not as good of a camera as the Nikon P310.

I own both the Nikon P310 and the Canon SX130 (predecessor to the SX150). I would buy the Nikon P310.
