Digital Camera?




lvbs793


What camera's take good still photos? For example, if I wanted to take a picture of a soccer game while kids were running in the game, I want to take a still picture instead of it looking blurry.

Also, what do megapixels do? Or, what are they for?

What are some good professional camera's (brand name)?



Answer
There's a near foolproof camera that was just advertised, the Nikon D40 for those that want the quality but don't know much about the different features and the knobs, switches and buttons... the camera comes with a relatively good quality kit lens and can be used on totally automatic mode (you look through the viewfinder, press the button halfway down and it focuses and sets the aperture and shutter speed for you automatically, and you complete pressing the button down and it snaps the photo). You'll love the feel and the ergonimics of Nikon cameras. The Nikon D40 camera with the kit lens should cost about $600 or less and will be available after Thanksgiving day. The good thing is that you can always get a better lens afterward (it also comes with a long focal range, like 28-200mm or something like that). Or, you can always go with the Canon Rebel, and the kit lens.

The two top brands in the world of photography are Canon and Nikon. While Canon has the most aggressive advertising ads and come out with lots of bells and whistles, Nikon has a reputation of having the same lens mount since 1959 which will enable the person to find lenses for whatever camera model he/she owns, and the fact that Nikon puts out a very sturdy and no-nonsense feel on all its SLRs and DSLR cameras and the camera brand is known for quality build.

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.

digital camera?

im going to buy a digital camera and ive never bought one... i dont know what kind to get. i would like for it to be under 150.
Or tell me what cameras not to buy.

also can you tell me what kind you have and do you like it?



Answer
Avoid off-brand cheap cameras like Fujifilm. Instead, stick with Nikon, Canon, Sony, or Kodak. Even it you pay a bit more, you'll have a camera you can use for years.

Consumer Reports recommends this camera for under $150:
Kodak EasyShare M853 - $120

Here's why you'd like it so much:
8.2 megapixels resolution
included battery pack good for 300 photos before recharging
3x optical zoom
digital image stabilization
uses the popular SD memory card for storing pictures
most popular JPEG file format for still pictures
video mode for short video recordings

This kind of resolution, unheard of a few years ago in a camera this price, is so good you could get clear prints up to 30 by 40 inches from it. Some people prefer cameras that use AA batteries, but in the long run a rechargeable battery pack is cheaper.

Resist the urge to zoom in closer when taking pictures by using the digital zoom. Most point and shoot cameras have optical zoom (what the lens is doing for you) and digital zoom (what the software is doing for you). You can enlarge the picture later if you like, and the resolution will still be good.
