Answer 1

Answer 2

Truly I have found the all around best camera for the Money is the Cannon SD600 or higher! it is only about 1/2 inch thick and is perfectly rectangular with no weird shapes (so it will fit in your pocket or wherever without allot of bulkiness’) which makes it easy to take around places. The zoom is pretty darn good! And it takes excellent Macro shots (close up magnified) it also has action so you can take pictures of someone running without waiting for the shutter and the digital camera to reset for the next picture. In addition it has real good video & has good battery life & upgradeable SD memory slot. yeah there are other cameras but I travel allot for work and it is great to just slip this baby in my front pocket take with me sightseeing or to work and I hardly know I have it on me which also works great cause what people don’t see they wont try to steal in public like those cameras you always have to hang from your wrist or shoulder like a purse! Check the camera out on the web or at Best Buy or Circuit City or something yourself. The SD model is the best and the 600 is 6.0 Mega pixels 3x zoom with 10X digital zoom. If you go with a model larger than 600 the camera remains the same but the pixel rating goes up! Now about the price I paid $260 for the camera 6 months ago at circuit city I bought a 2 year no questions asked warranty replacement for around $50 more. So the way I see it in the next 2 years I accidentally drop the camera I go back to Circuit city and they give me a gift card for $250 & I upgrade to the new model and pay the difference.....what a deal! That almost sells the camera itself! Well Good luck & let me know what you decide on! Hope that helped?

Can I am assume that you are referring to a "digital" camera, not a "film camera - selection? Even though I personally own this ultra compact camera, I would still like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 for the following reasons:



1. Besides taking well-exposed hi-quality 5 megapixel pictures, it uses a standard set of rechargeable double AA batteries which last a very long time;

2. Has a 3x optical zoom;

3. Takes "continuous" 2 frames per second "action/sports" images;

4. Has macro feature for close-ups of small objects focused under 6 inches;

5. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;

6. It's very small and light;

7. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards - a 2 gig card sells for $19 at samys.com;

8. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;

9. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;

10. Has tripod mount on bottom of camera;

11. And the price is a mere $119 [sold at Samy's Camera - www.samys.com, and Staples.com.]



Review(s) can be found at www.amazon.com [Query: "Nikon Coolpix L10" along with pictures provided by satisfied purchasers.]



Good luck!

Answer 4

The best kind of camera is one that does what you need it to. You don't need to spend a lot of money if you are just taking family snapshots and carry the camera around in your purse.



On the other hand, you could spend too little and be very disappointed with the results.



Questions to ask yourself:

1. Do you plan to shoot mostly indoors? Then you need one with a built in flash.

2. Do you need to shoot a lot of close ups? Then you need one with a macro lens capability.

3. Do you expect to take pictures a good distance away from your subjects? Then you need a good optical zoom capability. (Ignore digital zoom. Useless if you want good results)

4. Do you want simplicity? You need one that does everything automatically.

5. Do you want more control of the image? Then you want one that allows you to manually select the camera's speed and exposure.

6. Do you plan to take a lot of fast action? Then you need one that takes multiple exposures with a single press of the button.

7. Do you plan to make large format prints, such as 8 x 10 or larger? You need, at least 5 megapixel or better.



Ask yourself what else you expect from your camera, find the units that do these things. I'd stick to the name brands, if possible. Read the professional and user reviews and then shop around for the best deal.

Answer 5

This is dependent on the cost.



Under $200 range there is the Nikon L10, Easy to use and takes good pictures. Only down side is that it is a battery killer. Use rechargeable batteries, they will last longer.



There is the Canon SD1000 and Nikon S50 at the $250-300 range.

The Canon is fast and takes good pictures.

The Nikon is easier to use, more compact, and takes pictures that are comparable in quality...



If you are looking for zoom there is the Fuji S5700 with a 10x optical zoom. This camera is around $250. But it is not a compact camera.



The next step is the DSLR cameras. In that area you are looking around $600 and up...

Answer 6

The best kind of camera as far as quality of your digital photo and it's flexibility has to be a DSLR.



The vast majority of professionals use either Canon or Nikon.



Now, if you mean the best digital camera for a beginner on a budget, I'd recommend a Nikon D40.

"Best" is a relative term. What do you want to do with it?



If you want something compact to keep around in pocket or purse, then a DSLR is way too bulky. There are several compact digital cameras that would be better. The Canon SD800 is a slim, yet powerful camera with image stabilization.

If you want something for the beach or in the snow, the Olympus Stylus 770 SW is waterproof and shockresistant.

If you an narrow down your needs and wants (AND budget) it will be easier to answer your question.

Answer 7

In the beginning, stick to what is known as "point & shoot" digital cameras with over four (4) megapixels. Get an additional flashcard or memory stick about 256MB or more and shoot. Bring the memory stick or flashcard to your local camera store, or mass merchandiser like Target, Walmart, Kmart, Ritz and let them make your prints. It is less expensive then doing them yourself and leaves you free to do other things besides print.
