canon digital camera vs nikon image
Sam
I am looking to buy a really good digital camera and my budget is about $400 max! I have been looking at Nikon and Canon cameras and I like them, but I spotted this fujifilm camera and I think it is raely cool! If anyone can tell me if it is a good camera to own, that would be great. Also, if you have any advice on camera buying I would like that too. I am new to photography and have no idea what to look for in a good camera. Thank you!
Answer
The Fujifilm has many advantages over my favorite high end compact, the Nikon P7100. Look over the advantages.

Answer
Art, you have three excellent answers above me. I agree with them all, but in a minute I will post my standard answer just because it has a couple of links in it and because I want to reinforce what the others have already said.
Koko, that is a GREAT list that is comprehensive and I hope you have saved it for future use. I'd take a look at the 700IS vs. the 800 IS, though. Personally, I think you get a lot more bang for the buck with the 700IS. Ask Petra about this or just look at the charts side-by-side on dpreview.com. (haha) And double haha - I wonder why there are no Nikon SLR's on your list??? :-)
Mir, you have given all the details for why the 540 is a good choice for a new user. I've recommended this to my mother-in-law, my brother, and an employee and they are all tickled pink with the camera.
Big Jim, your thought process is right on the mark. You are showing that this is not such a simple question and the buyer has a lot to consider before just going out to a store and saying that they want a digital camera.
Tee, you'll see below that I also agree with you. The A630 or A640 will not soon be outgrown by anyone.
My stock answer:
Start with the budget. This may seem backwards, but it's not. You can find a decent camera to match any amount of money you want to spend.
Next, find a friend who will help you learn how to use the camera. This "friend" could even be the clerk in your local photo shop. By "photo shop," I mean an actual camera shop or at least a camera department where the sales staff only deals with cameras and not dishwashers, too. Buy the camera that your friend recommends so that they will be able to teach you how to use it.
After you know what you are doing and are ready for your next camera - and this will come sooner than you think - you will be in a position to make your own choice.
If you have some vague ideas about price and desired features, go to http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare.asp and see what they select for you.
Choose the best one by deciding what you want to do, how much you want to learn, how far you want to progress and how much you want to spend.

Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists. This model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular. The A640 is virtually the same, but it is 10 MP instead of 8 MP (A630) or 7 MP (A620).

If you want to trim the budget a little, the Canon Powershot A540 is a great choice. I have recommended it in my own family several times. You will still need a decent memory card as discussed above, though.
