What recommendation for a digital camera brand and model?

canon digital camera 8x optical zoom image

Hime-Sama

I would like to buy a digital camera but I'm not sure what to look at. Design is not an important aspect. What I would want is that it can produce a good quality picture and doesn't need much editing. I'm not so sure whether to pick a higher megapixel because some review states that higher doesn't mean better, though I'm not sure why. Could someone give me a guidance in choosing a good digital camera? Thanks. =)

Answer
I would suggestion these are good quality digital cameras that take good pictures, good of megapixel, slim, etc.

What is a good digital camera for a music concert?

What is the relationship between optical lenses and the digital optical ranges?

canon digital camera 8x optical zoom image

John D

I have a HP Photosmart 945 with an 8x optical and 7x digital zoom. I am considering a Canon Rebel for a replacement and want to know what lens I would need to meet or exceed the range of the my current camera.

Answer
Firstly, you can disregard any importance in using digital zoom. The HP 945 has an optical focal length equivalent of 37mm-300mm.
So, you will need a lens with a focal length in that range or more. You might have to buy at least two lenses to achieve that, though.

What is the best digital camera to buy that has a good zoom lens?

canon digital camera 8x optical zoom image

KBob

I need a camera w/ at least 5 MP's with a good optical zoom ( 6x or better) for less than $300. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer
You can find the Canon Powershot S1 with 10X zoom and 3.1MP for under $300 on eBay.

You can find the Canon PowerShot S2 with 12X zoom and 5MP for under $400 on the net and on ebay.

the camera that I have been able to find that meet your criteria the closest is the Samsung Digimax A55W. Selles for $249 on Amazon.com. Has 5MP and a 28-135mm (4.8X) zoom.

Becareful buying cameras from ebay. Do not buy from sellers with feedback under 100. Do not buy if they only want money orders or want to use a gold exchange site or Western Union.

What is the best advanced digital camera that runs on AA batteries?

canon digital camera 8x optical zoom image

rockonthru

I am looking for a camera with-
8 or more megapixels
8x or more optical zoom
not over $600 (preferably $200-$400)
I want the camera to be able to use AA batteries(non-rechargeable) when I travel and a power source is not available.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Answer
Canon S5is fits the bill on all counts.

It's a great camera!

What non-slr camera is the quickest?

sheila

I want to get a decent digital camera but only want to spend about 400 dollars on it. I hate the wait between pressing the button and it actually taking the picture - we need something that is quick but I don't want the bulk or expense of a digital slr.

I am hoping for at least 8x optical zoom as well.

Answer
you'll have to look at the shutter lag data on dpreview.

sounds like you might be in the market for an SLR-like camera. Some of the ones I researched were the following:

Panasonic FZ8, FZ18
Sony H5, H7, H9
Canon S3 IS, S5 IS
