Planning on buying a new camera. A little help please?

c c

I am buying a new digital point and shoot this week. I original had it down to these three: Canon Powershot SX30 IS, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40, & Nikon Coolpix P100.

I am mainly looking for: HD video ability, great overall picture quality, good in low-light, good optical zoom (doesn't have to be crazy like canon's 35x, but good), and fast shutter speed.

Thanks to anyone who helps. Kind of a hard decision for me, because I want to best camera at a good price for what I'm looking for. Price range is max at $400.

Answer
Canon Powershot s95 or Lumix LX5.
But Lumix might be slightly expensive for your price range. But this Canon mentioned above is just an amazing camera. 720p HD video with stereo microphone, and superb pro like image quality. Check youtube reviews.

Digital camera software problem?

Robyn

i just got a new digital camera from canon, and i recently tried to insert the cd and download the software onto my laptop. when i inserted the disk, nothing happened, so i went to "computer". i found the disk, but when i clicked on it, it gave me a message that said "application not found." is this my fault of canon's fault? should i send it back?

Answer
Most of the software that comes on the CDs packaged with cameras is completely unnecessary. Try just plugging your camera into your computer and see what happens. On most recent Windows and Mac computers, a program will open and ask what you want to do with your pictures.

If nothing happens, you may need to download a driver from Canon

Can I use my Canon Power Shot SD1200IS digital camera as a webcam without downloading software?

Susie

I was just wondering, and if I do need software.. what do I download?

Answer
Can this camera be used as a webcam?

The quick answer to this VERY common question is "No".

The more detailed answer is this: yes, sometimes it is possible, but it just isn't a good solution!
You would need to have the right camera, cable, software and drivers.
Then you need to set it all up to work, which can be a big pain.
Even if you DO get it working, you are now causing wear and tear on what might be a fairly/very expensive camera.
Webcams start at about $20.oo. They do the job well, they are usually easy to set up, and they can STAY set up - you won't want to quickly grab your webcam on the way out the door, only so you have to start setting up all over again next time you want to use it.

Check out the websites of Logitech, Creative, and Microsoft.
All make good webcams.
Check the features carefully if you want to have those fancy video effects, because not every cam supports them.
Figure out which models you like, then google for the best price.

If you are still determined to use your still camera, then read your manual - if it is possible, it would be a good selling point, so the manual will tell you how to do it.
