I love the digital camera I have now, its an Olympus that's super tiny and takes great pictures during the day, however it takes horrible pictures at night even though its has special settings! It still works fine for a 4 year old camera BUT I will be studying abroad next semester and I would like to take pictures at night as well as the day!! I'm looking for a small camera with high quality pictures. I'm also on a budget so I want the most value for my money! Any suggestions??


Answer
Cameras with the best image quality aren't always the best travel cameras.
I think the following criteria are important for travel cameras :
* Low cost (in case of damage, accidental loss or theft).
* Light weight
* Wide angle lens.
* High zoom ratio.
* Good low light performance
* Waterproofing.
* Cold weather performance.
* battery life
My choice is Canon PowerShot D10 12.1 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with
3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD.

It's a very good camera for traveling. Both in and out of water. I was a little nervous
to put this in water. I just got back from Hawai. Where I put it in all kinds of water
and depths and it worked perfectly! There areso many types of scene selections such as Sunset, Beach, Landscape, Kids and Pets, Aquarium, Indoor, Night and Underwater. I have got some great photos with this. The battery life is great. Video quality and audio is great too. I love this camera.

What kind of professional digital camera should I get ?

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.
