Hey, im 18 years old and i am asking for a camera for christmas. I would like a good photography camera that is less then 1000 dollars. I don't know much about photography other then i enjoy taking pictures and i would really like to learn more. I dont need the most expensive one since i am just beginning this new hobby but i would like a nice camera so i can start learning and go out and take some pictures and learn hands on.

What would your camera recommendation be? Thanks :)



Answer
With this you can get a good camera, like an Olympus or Canon or Nikon or other brands dslr's. If I would need a digital camera, I think I would buy a Fuji X100

Which one of these cameras are better in low light?

I also need it to be super quick. Looking to keep blurry shots to a minimum.

Oh come on, can't a get a simple straight forward answer? I'm not looking for professional shots I just need a compact camera that I can take on a night out



Answer
Both cameras are poor for low light shooting.

For that type of work, ignore megapixels, zoom numbers and features like wifi or frames per second.

I disagree with the answer that states that there is no such thing as a low light camera. There are cameras that are more suited to low light work.


Sure the cameras you mentioned can get you and OK image in low light, but the only catch is that the cameras will need to be on a tripod or solid surface, and you will need to set the ISO to the lowest value, and your exposure could be as long as 30 seconds, and most compacts will not take exposures that are that long.

So you can't exactly walk around taking snap shots this way. I have a Fuji X100, I can do that, the camera is more suited to low light work.

So you need to start looking at the right kind of camera. A large image sensor and a large aperture is what you need, cost will start at 500 US dollars and go from there. Look at Sony's NEX 3N, from Olympus the E PM2,

You want an image sensor that's micro four thirds or the larger APS-C. Those high end compacts like the Canon G series, or Nikon P series can run up to 500 US dollars and still use a very tiny image sensor, avoid them.

Sorry, there are no cheap compacts that will take a great photo at night. If you use a cheap compact make sure the flash fires every time. No it won't look very good, but at that price point, that's all you can get.

The sad part about all of this? If camera makers made the image sensors in their compacts every so slightly larger, and stopped using these 14,18 and now 20 megapixels sensors, you could get a great low light image. Current compacts should have no more than 5 megapixels, but they are desperate to sell cameras so the number keeps climbing so they can be sold to people that think more is better.
