digital camera!!!!!!!!?

shortzinat

what kind of didigal camera should i get? how many megapixcels should it be to take really good pictures? and it needs 2 be under $$$$300!

Answer
Look at the Canon Powershot A630 or SD600. By the time you add a 1 GB memory card, which I'd recommend, you are right at your $300 limit. If you want to keep it under that, consider an A540, which I just saw advertised for $170 for the weekend at Circuit City.

Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists. It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular. If you can go over budget a bit, the A640 appears quite similar and shares the "600" series numbering, so I guess it's just another upgraded version of the now-classic A620. It looks pretty much the same except for being a 10 MP camera.

I own a few Nikon DSLR's and I'd buy the Canon A630 or A640 for myself.

The A620 was rated about twice as good as any as far a battery life. I hope the A630 and A640 are just as good. Use Energizer e2 LITHIUM batteries and you will be happy with battery life.

With this camera, you will find the memory card is a cute little token of thanks from Canon, but not much more. Buy a 1 GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III card. You will NEED the increased capacity and write speed to fully realize the benefits of your camera. I see a rebate on the Sandisk Extreme III cards that actually makes them cheaper than the Ultra II's, so there is no reason not to buy the faster card. The rebate offer ends 12-31-06, though. If you don't find this elsewhere, I saw it at http://www.bhphotovideo.com

If you want a sleek, smaller camera that will easily fit in your pocket, consider the Canon Powershot SD600. It gives up some of the features of the A630 and 640, but at least it still has an optical viewfinder, which I consider to be essential.

http://www.steves-digicams.com/2006_reviews/sd600.html

If you want to trim the budget a little, the Canon Powershot A430, A530 or A540, are all great choices. You will need a decent memory card, though. I'd say get at least 512 MB.

digital camera.......?

:]

what kind of camera does the jonas brothers use to record their videos? there camera works really well and i would like to get it for christmas but i don't know what it is called.

Answer
Not sure what camera they use, but have had great results with a low priced Canon Camcorder. Most cameras don't do as well as Camcorders at video, are much better at photos.

While most of the cameras out there are really good, I would choose Canon over Nikon because it seems like more camera for the money. Some would say Canon withholds their best technology for high end cameras and Nikon implements their best at all levels. Before you decide, read all the text and links in the information below because it will help you know what to look for in a camera.

There is no one particular place to get great buys, but you may see something below that really helps you find the best buy. Click on the first link in the information below for an example then search for your camera of choice at the upper left. Camera prices at this link change often.

Just saw this camera at Best Buy and think it is a great camera and a best buy. It has an optical viewfinder, image stabilizer, auto focus, and uses NiMH rechargeable batteries. Read as much of the following as you can for other information and help with choosing a camera.

There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say which is best, but digital is definitely the way to go. The second source link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices. The following information should help you know what to look for in a camera.

What gives a camera its picture quality?
The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures.

High mega pixel settings may not be best. It takes longer to process and may not be needed unless required for very large pictures or enlarging small parts of big pictures. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel setting is 8 x 10 inches. When buying a new camera, look for an optical viewfinder (LCD not visible in bright sun) and check replacement battery prices.

The information about my camera is just to show that you don't need the biggest and best. Just know how to use the one you have.

My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7 x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes ... like magic.

Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Ask what cameras they own, but don't believe everything you hear. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner's manual. Just learned that my camera has red-eye prevention and correction. It also has adaptive lighting.

Best Nikon or Canon digital camera?

Madison Ly

Okay I would like to find the BEST camera (point and shoot) with the BEST macro, and really really really good in low light. But keep the price under 140? Either Nikon or Canon. Thanks!

Answer
I bought the Canon A1200 because I wanted a small point and shoot that I could take everywhere with me. Other selling points were the optical viewfinder which I don't really use much, as well as the AA batteries. I use Sanyo Eneloops in this camera and they work great. I don't know how many pictures I can take with them on a single charge because I end up recharging them before they die completely.

Digital Camera?

jmagg516

i am looking for a digital camera to get that is small, takes good quality pictures, and will last awhile. also that is good for fast shot and gets steady picturs...i dont know which brand to get or which camera to get...any suggestions or ideas for a camera that would be good

Answer
Look for a camera with a 1) minimum 5 megapixels (mp), this is very good for most users. 2) 4x optical zoom is good, don't worry too much about digital zoom. 3) Best to stick with regular (or rechargeable) AA batteries. Lithium battery are good, but not easy to find if you're on vacation and need batteries at a convienence store or can recharge quickly. 4) I see that many digital cameras are doing away with the optical viewfinder (the old fashioned way of looking through the viewfinder to take a picture), and strickly having just the LCD screen to compose a shot to take. I, personally still like the optical viewfinder to really focus on a particular subject, or use on a really sunny day where it's hard to see your subject(s) on the screen, or just to save battery power on my camera. These are just a few things to consider for your first camera. Here's what I have...

I LOVE my Canon PowerShot A620. It's a 7.1 mp camera which takes awesome still shots, and just as awesome video. Great for home and everyday use. Easy to take on vacations and you can take some really artistic/creative photos too. A great all-around camera. My 35mm cameras are Canon too, and I still love and use it. .

I had a Sony, and I gave that to my daughter, and purchased the Canon PowerShot A610 for my teenage son. The Canon A610 is exactly like my A620, but is a 5 mp digital camera. They both take GREAT pictures, but my favorite thing about the camera, is the vari-angle LCD screen. You can even hook it up to your tv and see your pictures/video on whatever size screen you have. It's pretty neat on the big screens! (The necessary cords come with it). It is very easy to use, and a camera you can grow with. http://www.usa.canon.com
Go to 'products' to 'consumer products' to lead you to the cameras.

Our A610/A620 has a setting, call "kids&pets". Typically you use these on the subjects that usually has a hard time keeping still. But I also use this setting when taking pictures of my soccer team during game play. I've also taken pictures of my kids, nieces and nephews jumping in the air, a la cheerleader jumps, with great results. Lag time is very, very, very minimal. (e.g. delay from pressing button to actual camera capturing the shot). This is just one of the many settings the camera has to offer and you can also manually set and program your own settings.

For ease of point and shoot, just choose the setting in which you're taking pictures of, (i.e. indoor, outdoor, nighttime, portrait, fireworks, snow, beach, and 'auto' [automatic]), and it'll adjust accordingly the proper exposure/settings. And it even has an 'underwater' mode to use, but that's if you purchase the special housing for the camera. (I don't have the housing. I'll wait to save up or find it for very inexpensive). If you get more experience or for the experienced, you can manually choose exposure and settings like the old 35 mm.

I'm a bargain hunter. I purchased both NEW Canon this late spring 2006 on line. My son's was under $200 and mine was $204. Just Google (or Froogle) or Yahoo! Search any Canon model, and then see which merchant has the best price with those low price websites and order on-line. The price is waaaay better than going physically to the stores. If you need it right away, just upgrade the shipping. It's still cheaper than buying at the stores. No matter what model camera you're searching for, better prices are on-line.

I don't know if you'll find this model (A610) at the stores. They have newer models, the A630 (8mp) and the A640 (10mp), they boast more mega-pixels and ISO settings. But 5mp, more than suffices for most users. What I did was physically touched and feel the camera at the store, then go on-line to purchase. But if you prefer to purchase at the stores, some good places are Best Buy, Wal Mart and Target. Suprisingly enough, they have good selection at Wal-Mart and Target.

Here is the link if you'd like to check out the specs on these models and other Canon cameras: http://www.usa.canon.com
and go to 'products' to 'consumer products' to lead you to the cameras. It tells you what the camera has and what it looks like up close.

While you're searching on-line, you'll also find many reviews on these cameras. All with many positives things to say about the camer and you can also find information on these cameras in Yahoo! Tech http://tech.yahoo.com/rc/digital-cameras...

Hope this helps in your hunt for a digital camera!

Digital Camera?

Q. Are there cameras having OPTICAL Image Stabalization, Aperture highest f/2.8, Viewfinder, 3x OPTICAL zoom, zoom at shutter button and around the price of 150$ or higher if can consider. Cameras like Canon A570 IS? And i don't want any brand complains here. 10 points to the best answerer!

Answer
I have the a570 and I am very happy with it.

All of the major brands are good. Choose a brand that appeals to you. Then you have to think about getting a spare battery, what size memory card, if you want an extended warranty, how much you can afford, what size zoom, if you want manual controls, the size of the camera, finding a reliable place to purchase it, and the list goes on and on and on.......

The first thing to realize is that almost any digital camera will take good pictures. If more people would read the manual more than once, they would be able to take better pictures. Usually, the person assumes it is the camera when it could be them not knowing exactly what to do. Just give yourself more photographic knowledge by doing more reading on the internet.

I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice.
The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras so they can decide on the features that they really want and need.
Go to the store and hold them so you can see if they feel comfortable in your hands. If possible, take some pictures in the store to check the quality of the pictures.
I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera.
Good Luck

What digital camera drains the least battery power?

canon digital camera viewfinder image

malk e

I am looking for a new digital camera. My only requirement is that the camera does not kill your batteries so quickly. I have a Samsung 5.0, that stupid camera is terrible. I take like 6 pics, and the batteries are dead. Then I had to recharge them again. I hate walking around with chargers and with 3 pairs of different batteries. And if I use regular batteries, they died even sooner

Answer
Large LCD viewfinders eat batteries. It seems nice to have a big LCD monitor, but hey are power hungry. You will have to do what you can to turn the thing off as soon as you don't need it any longer. Set it to shut off at the shortest possible innterval after you take the picture. Set it so that it doesn't not display unless you tap the shutter button to wake it up. Even this will not go a long way towards conserving batteries.

Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists. It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular.

The A620 was rated about twice as good as any as far a battery life. I hope the A630 and A640 are just as good. Use Energizer e2 LITHIUM batteries and you will be happy with battery life.

At least if you have trouble with running down batteries, you can go into any store and buy some "AA" alkaline batteries and get back to business. This won't be a problem, though.

A digital camera for an experienced photographer with poor eyesight?

lulu6

I want to get a digital camera -- ideally an SLR -- for someone who is good with electronics but has deteriorating vision. He used to take beautiful film photographs and feels that a point-and-shoot is too amateurish. I imagine the viewfinder should be big, and the menu reasonably simple. He needs an all-purpose lens, but doesn't need the ability to change lenses. Thanks!

Answer
Your friend is a candidate for one of the few DSLR models with LiveView, where the lcd screen is used for composing the photo. This is similar to what he's used to with his compact point-and-shoot digital camera.

The least expensive model with this feature would be the Olympus EVOLT E-410. There are other models in the Olympus line, also with Live View.

Nikon offers the new D300, with this same feature.
http://www.ritzcamera.com/product/SLR1164.htm

The final test is to have him handle each brand of camera. The feel, controls, and menus are especially important for all, but especially for a photographer with deteriorating sight.

Look at the Olympus E-20N.

What other digital camera is as good as the Canon Powershot SD750 Silver?

canon digital camera viewfinder image

flash22

I'm thinking of buying a Canon Powershot SD750 silver for my girlfriend as a surprise. She had told me a few months ago that she wanted one. I could buy it for her , but the price is kind of steep at $299. I was wondering is there another digital camera that is just as good but a little bit less pricey? It could be $225 or less. I know she wants a camera that is slim, and that can fit into a pocket. Also she wants one that has a nice LCD screen to watch the previews, and has different picture modes. Any suggestions would help.

Answer
The Canon Powershot SD750 and SD1000 are almost identical cameras.
The main differences (other than a slightly different body), are...
SD750...3.0" LCD, no viewfinder.
SD1000...2.5" LCD, has a viewfinder.

My pick would be the SD1000, because it has the viewfinder (which is invaluable to have at times). Plus, it's in your price range ($200-250).
Both have the same high res. LCD screen (230,000 pixels).
The SD750's LCD is just slightly larger and that's the only real reason it costs more.

good luck...

Compact digital camera with miniature effect and an optical viewfinder?

Liliane

Any recommendations for a compact digital camera, that has the fake tilt shift (miniature/ diorama) effect? Also, an optical viewfinder would be a must. I know Canon G12 would fit, but any others out there? I'm interested in Fuji X10, but can't find any info whether it has the miniature feature.

Answer
Yes, the Nikon P7100 has the miniature effect and an optical viewfinder. You can get them at a discounted price since the new P7700 is now shipping.

What's a reasonable price to buy a digital camera?

Stephanie

I just want a digital camera that takes good quality photos. Ideas on camera brands as well if you like.

Answer
What kind of digital camera?

Your question sounds sort of like "what's a reasonable price to buy an airplane ticket? (without mentioning destination nor class).

There are really so many digital cameras and so many market segments, that it's hard to tell...

Let me try to lay out the lower few categories (as I take it you're not in to spend thousands)...

First, under $100 - that's really more toys than cameras, can't expect much from them.

$100-200 - Most basic entry level cameras, some offer advanced controls, but few, some don't.... If that's your budget, you can find a few decent ones here.

$200-350 - This is mid-range to advanced point and shoot cameras, usually offer somewhat better optics, some of them super zooms, better matrices, most of these have manual controls to some extent. They are often a bit bulkier and heavier.

350-450 - Advanced point & shoot. Larger, much better optics, still small but more advanced sensors, all manual controls available, often noticeable image quality improvements...

450 and up - dSLR's. That's really the best of the best. They are big, heavy and bulky, but they offer interchangeable lenses for unlimited optics options ($450 buys you one with a basic entry level lens, additional lenses cost anywhere from $100 to... well.. tens of thousands, but we're not talking about them). They offer excellent real through the lens optical viewfinders (more expensive ones have "live view", or view on LCD, as p&s, but it's really not necessary), full range of manual controls, very large and high quality matrices (up to 15 times bigger than in all categories above, and even the least expensive ones on this category have excellent matrices). And so much more. Caveats: again, they're big, and to take full advantage of these you need to learn about photography at least on some basic level.

Well, that's really it. Just a note for you - no camera takes good quality photographs. You, the photographer do. Don't deceive yourself, that if you get a more expensive camera, it will automatically produce this much better results. You need to know what you're doing behind the camera, from cheapest to most expensive models. A $120 p&s in professionals hands will probably yield better results than $2000 camera in the hands of someone who has no clue. So consider at least part of your money to spend on a good photography book.

Brands:
Nikon, Canon, Olympus, maybe Pentax. The others are not camera companies. They're there in the lucrative camera market to make some cash, but real quality is with the genuine camera companies, that have been on this market for decades...

Final suggestion:
If you noticed, when describing cameras, I spoke of optics and matrices, but never mentioned megapixels. It's not unintentionally. Don't even look at megapixel values when choosing a camera. A salesman may try pushing some more expensive models on you saying, it's more megapixels, so better quality. Don't trust the salesman! Any modern day camera with 6mp and up is good enough. It's not the pixels, it's the optics and matrix that add up to a good quality photo. And of course the photographers skill (that's #1 important factor).
