I am going to be doing a lot of traveling this year and I want a good digital camera that has a good zoom and is great for taking pictures. Everything from landscapes in Ireland and Scotland, to architect in Germany, to beautiful pictures in the Caribbean. I am just starting out so I don't want anything crazy expensive. I was hoping to stay around $300-$350. I had been looking at the Canon PowerShot SX30. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.
Answer
the fog in ireland and scotland. the spring rain in germany, the sand and salt air of the caribbean, plus the banging around of all that travel.
four simple words - waterproof, shockproof, dust proof and freeze proof.
drop the camera once or get moisture in it and picture taking is done (i know from experience)
not trying to scare you, ok i am. just don't want to see you take a great trip and have nothing to show for it.
Canon D10 or the Panasonic Lumix TS3, they take nice pictures and you don't have to look out the window to see what the weather is like or wrap your camera in 6 layers of towels to keep the sand out.
the D10 has 640x320 video and 3x zoom, @ $250
the TS3 has 1080 HD video. 6x zoom and 3D picture capability but its pricey. @ $400
i have a TS2 and i love it. 720 HD video, 6x zoom. great pictures @ $260
this is just my personal opinion but if i was taking this trip i would spend the few extra bucks and get the Panasonic Lumix TS3. the rest of the waterproof cameras use digital image stabilization (higher iso) and creates noise (snowstorm). pretty sure Canon and Panasonic are the only 2 that have optical image stabilization to reduce noise.

Canon Powershot or Sony Cybershot digital camera?
Kim32
I'm trying to decide between two digital cameras: the Canon Powershot SD1200 IS (about $230) and the Sony Cybershot DSC-T90/P (about $300). I mainly just want a camera to bring out with friends, take basic shots when I travel, etc. but I also need a great macro setting for photographing jewelry I sell online.
Is it worth the extra $70 to get that fabulous touch screen and extra megapixels, or is the Canon more than enough? Thanks!
Answer
Hi there,
Firstly I will just let you know that I am a major fan of both these brands.
Canon are market leaders and the Powershot SD1200IS is one of my favorite cameras. They come in a great range of fashionable colors, so if you are going to be using it when going out with friends you can be sure to impress with it.
The photo quality is very good also and for photographing items it would more than likely get the job done for you considering you had the lighting etc correct.
Sony also make very good cameras but between the two brands there is not much difference I would say. If anything with Sony you are just paying a premium for the brand name, however to some people that have trust in a brand like Sony they may be prepared to pay that bit extra.
Also not sure where you have seen these prices? I have seen these models cheaper elsewhere online.
Hope this has helped, all the best with your new camera.
