I'm looking to find a digital SLR camera?

Tim K

I'm stuck between Nikon and Canon. They seem to be the major brands for this type of product. I've researched them and they both seem to have good quality. Help me choose a brand. My price range is from $1000-$1600.

Answer
Hey,

Your price range is excellent!

I recommend Canon EOS T2i, 60D, 7D and Nikon D3100, D90, D7000.

All have same, excellent, image quality and 99% same high ISO performance (which is very good too). D3100 and D7000 have AF while recording videos, but all 3 Canon models have more frame rates. The 60D has an articulating screen, it's the only one. 7D is fastest with 8fps, then is D7000 with 6fps and 60D with 5.3.

Which camera is better?

Q. The Nikon Coolpix S8100- $275 http://latestpriceindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/nikon_COOLPIX_S8100.jpg

Nikon Coolpix l110- $200 http://www.itechnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Nikon-CoolPix-L110-15x-zoom-camera-black.jpg


In your opinion, which is better? I am 13 and I'm interested in photography but am a beginner. I do have a SLR that my parents have that I can sometimes use, but I'm looking for something more compact. I'm leaning towards the S8100 because it's smaller and has some better features and doesn't need it's batteries replaced (plugs into wall) but I do like the style of the l110 and it has better zoom. I'm looking for a camera with great zoom because i go to lots of concerts and my current camera has terrible zoom so all the pictures I take end up looking crappy. I really like the l110 but maybe it's too bulky? Which one would you choose?

digital cameras?

sameh h

which are better sony cybershot or panasonic lumix? If there are better digital cameras please list...price no problem...quality main concern

Answer
As far as cameras are concerned, again, it depends on what you want.


The highest quality Digital cameras are the Digital SLRs, and Pentax makes the best with the K10
( http://www.pentaxslr.com/bodies/k10 ) around $899
-These allow you to swap in and out all Pentax lenses, for professional level photography.



However, you may be looking for something smaller (of the point and shoot variety if you dont want to be swapping lenses or buying separate lenses).


If you want a good quality point and shoot, Cannon offers the PowerShot S5 IS which has one of the best zooms out there (12X Optical & 4x digital for a 48x Zoom) at around $379.99

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8297513&type=product&id=1172881524725


If you want a good waterproof camera, there is the Pentax Optio W30 7.1-Megapixel Digital Camera at around $299.99
http://www.pentaximaging.com/products/product_details/digital_camera--Optio_W30/reqID--9587364/subsection--optio
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Pentax-Optio-W30-7-1-Megapixel-Digital-Camera/sem/rpsm/oid/189962/catOid/-13062/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do



If durability is a concern, there is the compact Olympus - Stylus 7.1MP Digital Camera 790 SW which is shockproof up to 5 feet and crushproof up to 220 pounds, and freeze and water resistent to a certain degree for around $299.99
http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1314

So, it really all comes down to what you are looking for. I would suggest going to a BestBuy and/or Circuitcity and checking out some of these cameras before you make a decision on buying.

Best in quality are the Pentax Digital SLRs, 2nd is probably the Cannon Digital SLRs. For point and shoot, if you want quality I'd go with the Canon PowerShot S5 IS.
My sister uses the PowerShot S3 IS (a couple models ago) as a biologist photographing different animals down in the rainforest, and the zoom and quality are unbeatable for a point and shoot in this price range.

If choosing between the sony cybershot or panasonic lumix, I would pick the panasonic since it has the much better total zoom.

Panasonic Lumix FZ50 ($650)
Optical: 12x
Digital: 2x / 4x pre-select (Max. 48x combined with Optical Zoom without Extra Optical Zoom)

DSC-H9 Cyber-shot® Digital Camera ($429.99)
Optical Zoom 15X
Digital Zoom 0-2.0X (Precision) -which equals 30x combined zoom)

Here are reviews on both the and the PowerShot S5 IS that I mentioned earlier and the Panasonic Lumix FZ50, so that you can get a little bit of a comparison:

Which Canon or Kodak digital camera?

bob356

So im looking at getting my fiancee a digital camera. She wants a really nice one that will take excellent pictures and cost LESS THAN $200. We are on somewhat of a fixed budget so it MUST BE LESS THAN $200. She will basically be taking pictures of anything and everything from family and friends to scenery and nature. It needs to be good quality and be able to point and shoot and not blur really bad for in motion pics. She is looking at the

Kodak EasyShare M530, 12.5MP, 3X optical zoom, 2,7" LCD display

Canon PowerShot A3000-IS, 10MP, 4X optical zoom, 2.7" LCD display

Canon PowerShot A3100-IS, 12.1MP, 4X optical zoom, 2.7" LCD display

Canon PowerShot SX130-IS, 12.1MP, 12X optical zoom, 3.0" LCD display

Canon PowerShot A490, 10MP, 3.3X optical zoom, 2.5" LCD display

Canon PowerShot A495, 10MP, 3.3X optical zoom, 2.5" LCD display

Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS, 12.1MP, 4X optical zoom, 2.7" LCD display

Canon PowerShot SD1400-IS, 14.1MP 4X optical zoom, 2.7" LCD display

Answer
The Canon PowerShot SX130-IS by FAR is the best camera on the list. Not only are it's specs the best, it takes fantastic pictures (for a point and shoot). I would also suggest the Sony Cyber-shot W370, it has 14 megapixels, 7x optical zoom, an automatic panorama mode (amazing!), and can take video at 720p (HD). The best part is that is can be had for under $160! I would say either this camera or the SX130-IS would be your best bet. But make sure to go into a Best Buy or something and try out the cameras for yourselves! You'll never know what you like unless you actually play with it a bit.
