canon digital camera 8 megapixel image
velocityvi
Hi, I really need help to buy a digital camera asap.All the online reviews have only further confused me.My requirements are:
1. 7-8 megapixel
2. 3-4 optical zoom
3. LCD screen
4. Good night pictures
5. different shoot modes
6. video (optional)
7. sharp, bright pictures
8. anti shake
9. face detection
10. as compact a body as possible.
I used to have a fancy for sony cybershot models but am told they are not as good as canon or nikon. fuji has also been recommended. A salesman recommended either the fuji F40 or the nikon S500 or the canon IXUS950. Can anyone help please? I have a budget of up to $500 but don't necessarily have to go all the way so long as I can get a good reliable compact camera that has all the latest features and gives me the best pictures.
Answer
I have a canon, and I love it! the only thing it doesn't have on your list is the IS (anti shake), but there are models that have it. The canon A series is really good, but the ELPHs have a lot of cool features, and are compact. I spent a little over $300 and that included, a canon SD1000, an extra battery, a carrying case, and a ScanDick UltraII 2 GB memory card. Look into it...

What are the advantages to using RAW format with my new camera?

I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT 8 megapixel and can shoot in RAW format or Jpeg. What are some advantages to RAW format?
Answer
The adavantage of using the RAW format is that you do the digital processing on your PC rather than the camera.
Digital images almost always require some form of sharpening, colour correction etc, the PC can do a far better job of this than the camera.
Shooting in RAW also gives you some adjustment over exposure, in case you find that the LCD screen isn't entirely accurate.
The Rebel cameras have always had a reputation for producing soft or mushy JPEG files, so for me shooting in RAW is an absolute must.
Think of it as a safety net.
You will need to decode your files, the supplied software is ok for this, though I find photshop (& photoshop elements) RAW convertor easier to use, if it sounds like a lot of effort, don't worry, the auto decode setting is usually prety near the mark.
