and shoot video

Answer
Repeat this 100 times: "It isn't the camera its the photographer."

Unless you have some basic knowledge about photography - exposure, composition, light - don't expect an $800.00 DSLR to perform any better than a $100.00 point & shoot digicam.

However, if you're willing to devote the time to actually learning about photography, first by reading & studying the Owner's Manual for the camera and then by taking classes or utilizing the sites I list then I'd suggest a serious look at the Sony SLT A55.

The Sony SLT A55 features Sony's Translucent Mirror Technology which allows for full-time continuous auto focus whether you're shooting still pictures or 1080/60i HD video. This technology also allows shooting at 10fps (frames per second). The SLT A55 also gives you 2D or 3D Sweep Panorama and in-camera HDR photography. It also has a built-in GPS.

The SLT A55 uses the legacy Minolta Maxxum "A" lens mount which means you have access to all those previously owned Maxxum AF lenses made since 1985. The SLT A55 has a focusing motor in the camera body so any "A" mount auto focus lens ever made will auto focus on it as they should. The A55 also has Sony's version of Image Stabilization in the camera body so any lens used becomes, in effect, an IS lens.

Here are some reviews of the A55:

I'd be rather leery of taking advice from someone suggesting a camera brand when they can't even spell the brand name correctly. Its spelled "Canon" when discussing camera brands and "cannon" when discussing weapons of war.

Buying a digital camera advice?

Natalie.

i'm looking to buy my first digital camera ; i will only really be using it for snapshots however i would like these pictures to be of decent quality. My budget is around £200 / $300 , although i am able to stretch over this a little. As well as a camera that takes photos of a decent quality i'd like one that isn't heavy to carry around and is relatively easy to use.

Answer
The main problem with new point n shoots is theyâve abandoned all manual user settings. The auto functions can be fooled shooting different subjects in different lighting even for those snapshots. I see a lot of complaints here and many issues can be traced to someone expecting more than a point n shoot can deliver. The cameras Ive recommended all have the option of some level of manual control to help in difficult conditions.

Fujifilm S2000HD £160. Very easy full auto mode plus the options of full manual exposure and focus. Not a pocket size point n shoot but exceptional features in a compact size.

Canon Powershot SX120IS is smaller and has many but not all features of the S2000HD sells for £169.

The Samsung WB550 is also smaller than the S2000HD with fewer features and sells around £219
