canon digital camera models with price list image
Monday
I am looking for a digital camera and lenses that will give me very professional photographs. What I would like to photograph are objects close up like dew on a leaf and also landscapes. Mountains to be specific. Any help would be great.
I am skilled professionally. However, it has been several years since I picked up my camera. All of my cameras still use good old fashioned film and I develop my own black and white photographs. I was looking for brand names and other peoples favorite DIGITAL cameras.
Answer
If your old film cameras are Nikon then look for a Nikon DSLR like the D3200 or D5100 or D7000 and you can use the Nikon lenses you already own whether they are manual focus or auto focus.
If your old film cameras are Minolta Maxxum AF models then look for a Sony DSLR like the a37, a57, a65 or a77 and you can use the Minolta Maxxum AF lenses you already own. Your Maxxum lenses will auto focus and meter as they should on any of the Sony models listed.
If your old film cameras are Canon EOS AF models then look for a Canon DSLR like the T3, T1i, T2i, T3i, T4i or 60D and you can use the Canon AF lenses you already own.
If your old film cameras are Pentax models then look for a Pentax DSLR like the K-30, K-5 or K-R and you can use the Pentax lenses you already own whether they are manual focus or auto focus.
However, if your old film cameras are Canon or Minolta or Olympus manual focus models there are no DSLR cameras that use the old Canon FD lens mount or the old Minolta SR lens mount or the old Olympus OM lens mount.
I didn't mention any of the full-frame (the sensor is the same size as a 35mm film frame) DSLR models from Nikon or Canon because you failed to tell us your budget. The models I did mention are all what's known as "cropped sensor" cameras - the sensor is smaller than a 35mm film frame so you'd have to get used to the "crop factor" which is used to compute the equivalent angle of view of a lens on a "cropped sensor" DSLR to a lens on a 35mm film camera.
On Sony, Pentax and Nikon the "crop factor is 1.5x. A 24mm wide angle lens on any of them will have the equivalent angle of view of a 35mm wide angle lens (actually its 36mm but that isn't a focal length ever manufactured to my knowledge) on your 35mm film camera.
On a Canon "cropped sensor" DSLR the "crop factor" is 1.6x so a 24mm wide angle lens on any of the models I listed will have the equivalent angle of view of a 38.4mm lens on your 35mm film camera.
So when using any of the Sony, Pentax, Nikon or Canon "cropped sensor" DSLR models you'll have to back up some to include as much of the scene as you'd get using the same focal length on your 35mm cameras.
Of course all of the above is moot IF you have the budget for a full-frame DSLR like the Nikon D700 or D800 or D3X or D4 or the Canon 5D Mark II or 5D Mark III or 1D X. Sad to say but currently Sony and Pentax don't offer a full-frame DSLR although there are rumors of the Sony a920 full-frame DSLR being introduced in August 2012. Rumors of a Pentax full-frame DSLR have been circulating for about 2 years but so far nothing has come of them.
Of course, its also possible that after you begin looking at the prices of DSLR cameras and the lenses for them you just might decide that your vintage 35mm film cameras are worth keeping and using.
If your old film cameras are Nikon then look for a Nikon DSLR like the D3200 or D5100 or D7000 and you can use the Nikon lenses you already own whether they are manual focus or auto focus.
If your old film cameras are Minolta Maxxum AF models then look for a Sony DSLR like the a37, a57, a65 or a77 and you can use the Minolta Maxxum AF lenses you already own. Your Maxxum lenses will auto focus and meter as they should on any of the Sony models listed.

Im not really sure of the camera i want so can you please give me suggestions of some good reasonably priced cameras that usually last awhile.

Answer
The Canon Ixus and powershot range are very good, as are the Nikon Coolpix range, you can get a good one for around 100 euro or 144 US dollars mark, thats 88 in british pounds (dunno where you're from)
Don't go over board on the mega pixels, 10 -12 is perfect for a compact, you only need higher than that if your photos are to be printed in large format. The best things to look out for in order of preference are:
1: A good Zoom, X4 is the average zoom, so X5 - X10 is better than average.
2: At least 10 mega pixel
3: a good sized screen, 2.5 inch - 3inch
4: Basic manual options are a big bonus
5: Rapid shooting is very handy, but you may need to spend more for things like that.
Have a look in shops and keep the above list in mind.
Some camera models you may like:
Canon PowerShot A1200
Canon Digital Ixus 115 HS
Nikon Coolpix S8100 (this one is about 200 euro, so its expensive, but a brilliant camera)
