canon digital camera xs image
sjchristia
am looking to buy a very good professional digital camera. I have been thinking of taking up photography as a hobby. Mostly photos of my childrens lives, family events, etc. Yet I have no clue as to what kind of camera is best for what I want to do. I was thinking of going for Nikon, Cannon or possibly a Sony one. I am also looking to spend between $500 - $700. I want it to be versatile and durable, because I am not sure if I will be able to afford another one any time soon. Thanks in advance.
Answer
The marketplace calls "professional'"cameras something different - you want what they would call an entry level or enthusiast d-slr (a digital camera that you can exchange lenses and other parts) or a "superzoom."
The problem with all the slr's is that they look "pro," meaning big, not something you can put in even a large jacket pocket. Olympus, another company, makes the smallest quality one available, but Canon, Nikon, and Sony all make excellent quality cameras too.
Here are a couple of links to facts on these kinds of cameras.
If you are looking to spend $500-$700 and not spend anymore, get a good superzoom. It is almost as good as an slr plus a couple of interchangeable lenses in most situation and everything is "all-in-one".
If $500-$700 is to buy the foundation of a photographic system that you will continue to invest in, get an slr. like on of these:
Olympus 510 or 520
Canon XSI or XS (wait a couple months, the price will drop on the XS)
Sony 300 or 350 (a little bigger than the others but a cool flip out screen that's great for catching kids without them realizing they are being photographed).
Make sure the camera has Image Stabilization or Shake Reduction (same thing). It will give you many more non-blurry pictures, automatically.

Answer
Hi Marina!,
I think the best choice for you Canon Powershot IS 120 XS
The SX120 IS does not have interchangeable lenses, and it does not have a filter adapter
You can get fish eye lens on Amazon, here is the link
