canon digital camera lens stuck image
BETSEYY JO
I have a digital camera and very intrested in photography. I think I am ready for a little more advanced camera that can take nice high quality photos. I am 14 and i do not know if i am ready for a digital SLR camera. Can you tell me a camera that you think i am ready for?
Answer
If you enjoy photography and you are ready to step up from snapshots, you have some learning ahead of you. You need to learn about film/sensor speed, aperture, and shutter speed, and the way those three elements combine to make an image. You also need to learn about composition, contrast, tone, and lots of other elements of a good image.
My recommendation as far as a tool to go along with this learning process is a fully manual 35mm film SLR camera, one that can take interchangeable lenses, and one where you set the aperture and shutter speed manually before each shot. The good news is that these days, even really nice, professional quality film SLRs are dirt cheap. You can find good ones on craigslist for as little as 75 to 100 bucks, or you can spend a little more to get one from a shop, like a local camera shop or an online shop like www.keh.com where you know it has been checked out to make sure it works, as well as having a return policy if it doesnt. There are lots of brands out there, but I would stick with one from Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, Canon, Minolta, or Leica, although I doubt you would find a Leica R camera in your price range. Don't bother with anything else. Of those, I recommend Pentax and Nikon the most, as their old manual lenses still work on their new digital cameras. Look for a Pentax K1000 or Pentax ME, or almost any full manual Nikon, such as the FA, FM2n, or FM3a. Don't get a zoom lens. Zoom lenses instill bad habits in photographers. Get a 50mm non-zoom lens. With that, you will learn to move, to get close to your subject, to hunt for the best angle at which to take your picture.
As to film, check out Kodak BW400CN, which is a black and white film that can be processed at any 1 hour photo lab. It costs about ten bucks for three rolls, and each roll costs five to seven bucks to get processed with a set of prints and a cd with scans of your pictures.
If you get a fully manual film camera with a non zoom lens, you always use it in fully manual mode, and you practice, you will find that in a couple short years that the photographic world is your oyster. If you can make good images with a setup like that, you can make good images with anything. Don't think that you are too young to be able to learn how to do it, either. I started out with a Pentax K1000 and a 50mm lens when I was eight, and if I could do it at eight years old, you can excel at it at 14.
Good luck!

What is a good digital camera for a teen?
Emily M
I'm becoming quite interested in photography, and I'm considering buying a digital camera for my self, but I don't know which ones to buy. I'd like the camera to come in good colors, not be crazy expensive, be able to take video with sound as well, have a decent zoom (comes in more than 3 pt), and to take good quality pictures. Anyone know any good cameras?
Answer
To be honest.....it depends on what are your needs and what you're looking for. If your a casual shooter canon point and shoots are usually the safest bet. If your more serious and actually understand the fundementals of photography, you may want to consider something more advanced, like the Canon G9. It offers true manual control and unrivaled jpeg image quality among compact cameras. If money is no object and you're willing to carry the bulk of extra lens, then a slr is probalbly the camera for you. Among them, Canon and Nikon makes the best. And another concept often misunderstood among newbies- more megapixels DOES NOT mean better image quality. If you ever watched High-def movies (1920x1080) they only measure approx. 2.1 megapixels. So what the point of anything higher if you tv isn't even capable of displaying every single pixel? You'd be better off looking for a bigger and higher-quality sensor, which would offer better dynamic range and better high-iso performance. If you did not understand what the last half of my answer meant, I suggest that you stick with a compact point and shoot, or at least consider reading this: http://www.videojug.com/interview/dslr-vs-point-and-shoot-digital-cameras
