canon digital camera 16 megapixel image
fullyxaliv
I'm 16 and have been saving up for my own digital camera. I want one that is nice and takes good pictures. I don't want to spend more than $150, and even that's a bit much. But honestly i don't know anything about what's good or what to look for or what brands and stores are good. Help!
Also, I would like something with good features but still easy to use.
Answer
First off, don't worry about megapixels. All new cameras have plenty of them. If you want to get creative, look for a camera that has a manual setting. Also look for one with optical zoom and not digital zoom. Digital zoom has horrible quality. Stick with the major brands like Canon and Nikon. They have been building cameras for years and make good quality products. At your price range, you can get a good basic camera.
What kind of digital camera should I get?
I want to get a digital camera, and I want to know which kinds I should look at. I want something(somewhat) small(not so small that I'll lose it in a minute). It shouldn't be too expensive ($200 is near the top of what I'm willing to pay). And I want something that is easy to use.
It would be used for taking pictures of the kids I babysit for, and of my friends. I would delete a few pics, email most, and print a few.
Answer
I've been a camera nut for 40 years, and have all kinds. Most people overbuy on digital cameras, thinking the more megapixels, the better. The truth is , if you only want to keep pics on your computer and make standard size prints, a 1.3mp cam ( no longer avail) will look as good as a 6mp cam on the computer screen or print. However, the higher the mp's the higher the resolution. 3.2mp are almost extinct, so I'd go for a 4 or 5mp camera, these will easily be in the $100-$170 price range. With 5mp, you can blow up prints to like 16 x20 I think, which you'll never do, probably 8x10 at most. And remember the higher the megapixels, the more memory needed for each pic you take and bigger drain on batteries, which digital cams eat. So don't buy bigger than you need. My current recommendation , which I just bought for myself a few weeks ago, is a compact FE-115 Olympus...small with easy to use controls and several shooting modes as night scenes, portrait, and anti shake mode which is important. It also has a great macro and supermacro mode where you can get as close as like an inch. It's a lot of camera for the money with big easy controls for not so tiny fingers. The screen is smaller than many but high resolution for clear images. I paid $149 at circuit city and got a 512MB free memory card worth $50, so really paid only $100 for a great cam. Been very happy with the results. With this size card, I can take about 375 pics I believe in the high quality mode. But be sure to buy the rechargeable batteries for any camera you choose ,or you'll be changing AAs about every 15 minutes. P.S. Canon and Sony also make great products, so try to stick with these 3 brands.
