What is the best camera to take pictures like this?

and shoot video

Price range $800.00

Answer
Repeat this 100 times: "It isn't the camera its the photographer."

Unless you have some basic knowledge about photography - exposure, composition, light - don't expect an $800.00 DSLR to perform any better than a $100.00 point & shoot digicam.

However, if you're willing to devote the time to actually learning about photography, first by reading & studying the Owner's Manual for the camera and then by taking classes or utilizing the sites I list then I'd suggest a serious look at the Sony SLT A55.

The Sony SLT A55 features Sony's Translucent Mirror Technology which allows for full-time continuous auto focus whether you're shooting still pictures or 1080/60i HD video. This technology also allows shooting at 10fps (frames per second). The SLT A55 also gives you 2D or 3D Sweep Panorama and in-camera HDR photography. It also has a built-in GPS.

The SLT A55 uses the legacy Minolta Maxxum "A" lens mount which means you have access to all those previously owned Maxxum AF lenses made since 1985. The SLT A55 has a focusing motor in the camera body so any "A" mount auto focus lens ever made will auto focus on it as they should. The A55 also has Sony's version of Image Stabilization in the camera body so any lens used becomes, in effect, an IS lens.

Here are some reviews of the A55:

At B&H - http://www.bhphotovideo.com - the Sony SLT A55 w/18-55mm zoom lens is shown for $799.99 after a $50.00 Instant Savings from B&H. Offer ends 7-9-2011. Free USA shipping.

I'd be rather leery of taking advice from someone suggesting a camera brand when they can't even spell the brand name correctly. Its spelled "Canon" when discussing camera brands and "cannon" when discussing weapons of war.

Is it necessary to install the software that comes with a digital camera?

canon digital camera xti image

Justin P

I just purchased a Canon Digital Rebel XTi camera that came with 2 software CDs. One is listed as the EOS Digital Solution Disc and it has applications such as Zoom BrowserEX 5.7 and EOS Utility 1.1 on it.

The other is EOS Digital Software Instruction Manual

I've already connected the camera to a friends computer and the Windows XP recoginzed the new hardware. The pictures transfred over fine without insalling any additional software.

Are the 2 discs that came with the camera necessary to install?

Answer
i think u have to install the software comes with ur camera if u want to use the timelapse recording feature.
i believe the rebel xti has this feature in which u can programme ur camera after connecting it to the pc to shoot a several frames over a period of time or with a certain time intervals between frames.
u have to read the manual to understand this feature.
other than that i don't think u need to install anything else .....
good luck

Anyone know anything about the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi camera?

Anyone know anything about the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi camera? I've had a DSLR camera in the past that didn't give me the quality of photos that I was looking for and was told that this is a great camera. Can anyone who owns this camera tell me what it's like? Is it easy to use? And more importantly do you know of a website or store that sells them at a good price?

Answer
It is a good entry level DSLR.
I would not rule out the Nikon D40/D60 series of cameras either.

Camera equipment is generally not discounted much, so any place that has camera gear for more than $100-200 under MSRP is probably a rip-off.

I work with and trust the following:
www.bhphotovideo.com
www.beachcamera.com
www.adorama.com

If you find other places online, check out their rating at:
www.resellerratings.com

If they have anything less than an 8, I'd stay away from them. If they are not even listed, i'd stay away from them.
