Good digital cameras?? Canon sd600?

autumn

I'm looking to buy a new digital camera and would like to stick around the $200-275 range. I've heard great things about the Canon SD600 and was wondering if anyone was familiar with this one??

What other digital cameras out there are nice? I'd like something relatively small, with a larger screen on the back....just something that takes good quality pics. Any suggestions?

Answer
Canon's SD models are an excellent choice if you want an ultra compact camera, with great image quality & features.
The SD600 was a very popular model in it's time.

However, I would recommend Canon's newer SD model (SD1000), which is available in your price range. It has the newer & faster Digic III processor (including face detection) and a better battery life than the SD600.

SD1000...7.1MP, 2.5" LCD, with viewfinder
It has a battery life of approx. 210 shots...The SD600, 160 shots.

You would also have to buy an SD card (1-2GB recommended). Look as Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III as a fast and reliable brand with a lifetime warranty.

good luck...

I want to buy a inexpensive digital camera?

originale_

I'm deciding between buying a 5mp or a 7mp, I am very concerned on price, would prefer to spend $100, but willing to spend more if there is a big difference in quality. I hear canon makes good digital cameras, any other suggestions. My friend had a sony and it was crappy, so I don't wanna get one of those.

I have a question about different digital camera models?

best quality canon digital camera image

Courtney C

I am looking to buy a Canon digital camera. I realize that there are many different models. I was wondering if the later models, or the ones with higher numbers (ex. SD1000 & SD850) are better than the others. Also, I am looking for very good image quality, reletivley small sized,at least 7 mega
pixels, and the option to enlarge pictures without them losing their quality. Which Canon model do you think I would be best off buying?

Answer
There is no definite rule for determining quality or features, especially from a company that makes so many models. The best thing to do is compare reviews of the models that have a feature set you are interested in. To see a fairly objective review of different camera models try some of the on line web sites.

I like Steve's Digicams because there are reviews of many cameras, it is pretty open minded (fair) and has a very consistent testing method. Each review is divided into sections and has one called Steve's Conclusion that summarizes the good & bad features of the camera.

The site is also very well organized so you can find cameras by mfg., no of MP or when it was reviewed and there are many links to additional information.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

what mic should i use for my digital camera?

ABC,

I have a powershot A2300 canon digital camera and was wondering what inexpensive mic I should get for it so I will have good sound and audio quality. I also have a sony DCR-SX85 camcorder and was wondering if they could take the same mic or not. I am also wondering if I need a any other equipment besides a mic because I don't want to spend that much money. thank you sorry about all the questions.

Answer
You can't plug a mic into your camera, so an external mic isn't going to help.

Sticking with the on-board mic is not a good option either, as I'm sure you've noticed.

That leaves a Portable Digital Recorder as your best option. Something like this http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/757065-REG/Tascam_DR_05_DR_05_Portable_Handheld_Digital.html is what you want. You record your video on the camera and your audio on the device, then mix the two in post. You just replace the audio recorded by the camera with the audio recorded by the device.

Does a camera take quality pictures or does it depend on the printing place?

best quality canon digital camera image

Adalwa

I use a canon and taking the picture the quality is good but when it comes to printing it sucks. I wanted to know if I should buy one of those high tech huge big cameras to take quality pics or just a normal camera that would do like my canon digital camera?

The end result I want my picture quality on paper to look very good, glossy, and natural like what we see in professional photographer pics.

Answer
1. Get the best out of your pictures:
Ensure that the settings are right and that you actually make good pictures. Set the right white balance, focus settings etc before the shoot. But don't worry automatic works usually to.

2. Not every foto printing service is as good it is worth it trying a few out and reading reviews. The cheaper ones don't have to be bad.

what's the difference between canon ELPH digital cameras and canon A-Series digital cameras?

dancingint

I want to get a canon, but I don't understand the differences between these 2 series of canon cameras.

-- Also another question i have is...
Do the canon digital cameras do a beauty shot (make your face look flawless and pretty) type thing like the samsung cameras do?
help would be really appreciated :) thanks!

Answer
The Canon website supplies a lot of specs and information about their cameras, and even a comparison function. It is best if you go study them on there.

As to the "beauty shot", my advice is the same as for any and all effects done in-camera:

DON'T DO IT !!!

Imagine if you just happen to take the best photo you ever took - surely you would want to have it in all its glory, right?

Always set your camera to biggest size, best quality (and to color).

That way, you start with the best possible photo as your original.

Then you make a copy and edit it to your heart's content.
You have much better control over any editing on your computer, even something as simple as b&w will look MUCH better when it was processed properly instead of in camera.
You can do all sorts of things to it PLUS you get to keep your original.

What is the BEST Canon or Nikon digital camera for MOVIE's w/SOUND and in LONG LENGTHS?

Amy 31

Hey there! I am looking for a Canon or Nikon digital camera that records long, good quality movies with sound. Can you recommend?

Answer
I would get the Canon Powershot TX1. Most compact digital cameras shoot video at 640 x 480 but this one shoots at 1280 x 720. That's a huge difference. The sound is in CD quality. It can shoot nonstop up to 4GB (which is only 13 minutes as the highest setting).

What is the cheapest way to get a digital SLR camera?

Ja

And don't say steal it!
I am a student photographer, and I used a standard canon digital camera, but I wan't something with more optical zoom that can be digital. I already have a canon film slr that my mom used to have, and frankly it is quite old and a hassle to carry around. I decided it might be best if I went ahead and invested in an slr, but i know those are extremely pricey! So, do you know where the best deals are for slr cameras, both on and offline?

Or, if not, do you know what the best slr STYLED digital cameras are that are out there?

Thank you so much!

Answer
Depending on how serious you are into photography and what type of photography you are doing. I would personally recommend a second hand or refurbished digital SLR for starters. I bought mine second hand and paid only 1/4th of the original price.I own Canon EOS 10D,you can see some of my photography on my website.

Then for the lens, the only problem with second hand is to be very very careful. You'll need to check and make sure that the glass has no marks and there is no dust inside, otherwise buy a new lens. Oh as you said you have a canon film slr, if it has autofocus lenses, you can use them with the digital slr so buy a body only and use existing lenses.

Also note that, because the digital slr doesn't have sensor same size as 35mm, so whichever lens you use, you have to multiply it by 1.6 so for example 17mm lens will be converted to approx 27mm on digital slr.

Hope this helps.

P.S. : To start a photography as a student, none of the compact digital or bridge cameras will help, u'll need digital slr (depending on how serious you are as i said). Otherwise yes there are some digital bridge cameras which provides you with almost all features of an SLR but too slow and quality is not same. A canon bridge camera for example is Canon PowerShot G series or Canon PowerShot S2IS.
