From what I've heard from photographers, Canon is the best brand. I'm looking into buying a Canon digital camera in the $300 or under price range.. any recomendations to one that takes quality photos, and is a good camera altogether?
Answer
Well Canon is the only brand I would consider. It consistently gets top marks, and I have had mostly very good experiences from the brand.
All cameras have an auto mode which means the camera will choose the aperture and shutter speed depending on lighting conditions. Others also have manual controls where you can be a bit more creative and have a little more control of certain settings.
It really depends on what sort of photographer you are and what experience you have...
There are 3 Canon cameras I am really liking at the moment and would recommend either.......(not including the digital slr cams of course!)
A good choice is the fairly compact A620, which has 7.1MP, 4x zoom, excellent image quality and has a very handy flip out and twist (vari-angle) LCD screen. The reviews for this cam have been very positive.
The new S3 IS, is a bit larger in size and has 12x optical zoom, 6MP, optical image stabilization and takes very good video in stereo sound...probably not a good choice for an absolute beginner.
Another one which i am liking the sound of is the new Powershot SD 700 IS/or Digital Ixus 800 IS in some countries. It has 6 MP, 4X zoom and is primarily a point and shoot camera, with limited manual control, takes excellent quality pics, is extremely compact and has the added benefit of having optical image stabilization to lessen the chance of blurry pics. It would be the sort of cam you could carry with you all the time, say in your pocket or handbag.
Just remember though, that most digital camera pics need some sort of post processing via Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or other software on your computer to get the best results. Check out these sites for an insight into different cameras...

Canon digital camera?
Be B
I just got a canon digital camera model a720. This camera also takes short videos...I read the instruction manual, 2 times.
How do I get the videos off of the camera and to the computer?
Step by step please?
Answer
I don't know your camera's exact model but this is what I do for my cannon,
a) Pop the memory card out (should be an flap ont he side of your camera that you can push the card in and it then pops out)
b) you then insert it into your computer, or an external memory card reader which hooks into your computer via a USB port.
c) go to 'my computer' click your memory card and navigate to your video that you took and copy / cut and then paste it into a folder on your computer.
Voila, theres one way to do it. :-D
Number 2
a) your camera should have come with software (on a CD) and a cable.
b) install the software
c) hook your cable into your camera
d) do the same thing you do for taking off your pictures but somewhere in the stpes there should be an option to take the videos off the camera or take the pictures, choose videos.
Way 3 (this is just an idea, I'm not 100% sure on this one)
a) take that cable used in way 2 and plug in your camera to your computer, then you might be able to navigate from my computer to your camera and pull the files off similarly to way 1.
If you didn't get a CD or cable with your camera, then you need to return the camera or go ask the store that you bought it from. If you have a memory card slot on your computer (which many new computers do have) then use that, it's the easiest way to pull pictures, and videos off your camera.
Hope that was helpful ;-)
