I want a digital camera for Christmas this year, but I have no idea which one to ask for. I just want a nice, cute, good-quality camera for around $300 or less.


I probably won't need a very professional one and am not a photographer or anything like that- just using it for fun.


The brand, model and even a web link is appreciated!


Thanks!

Best Answer: I would highly recommend the Canon Powershot a590 IS. It's only around $150 which is half of your max price. The quality of photos from this camera are on par with others I've tried worth 300-400 dollars. I'd consider this a wise investment.
Here is a link to an unbiased review:

The price is much lower than $300 but with quality warrant.
Good luck to you.

I am a freelance writer and would like to post my own photos with my articles online. I know that I may need a camera with detachable lenses. Are there any good quality digital cameras that can match or better the 35mm cameras with detachable lenses? If so, what are they?

Best Answer: Depends what you mean by matching 35mm camera.
If you mean general quality of shots (sharp, crisp and vivid), then, as someone said - just about any dSLR will work for you. I would suggest not going crazy over a great dSLR body, but to pay close attention to a lens choice. Because lens is what really gathers the light and projects a picture on a camera sensor. A great super camera body with a cheap knock-off lens will be much worse than cheapest dSLR body with a great lens. Nikon D40 would be a camera I'd consider. Then choose the lens appropriately for your task... Or one of the Canon digital Rebels...
If by matching quality you mean resolution - as if you plan to print huge posters and banners, you may be out of luck. Rumor has it that lab tests show that to match a good 35mm film you need 40-60 megapixels. Hasselblad does make cameras with this much, but for the same money you can buy a great film SLR with an excellent lens and use the change to buy yourself a nice Lexus....
But I'm taking it that you are interested in a former case. All current dSLR's will give you great sharp and crisp results for up to 8x10 or even 11x14, provided you have a good lens and know a little bit about photography to get it right.
LEM.

- any current DSLR is suitable, thats why all photo journalists use them, plus the ease of posting the results online.

I've been looking for a digital camera but am having a bit troubel as to wich is a good one. I want one thats under 200 dollers, but that can take pictures fast and in dark (ex. concerts) i also want it to have a video recording. any suggetions?

Best Answer: look into nikons.
The D40 is pricey (WAY over 200), but very worthwhile and will last a lifetime
As far as "regular" cameras go they have many high quality cameras (I recommend a coolpix) for under 200 at stores like staples, best buy, costco, etc. just walk to their camera section and ask the salesperson for a recommendation based on your preferences.

- nikons are always pretty good
(that is what I have)
but nothing beats recording it if you can!!
i know i have just started going to a lot of concerts!!! like 4 in January alone!!! it is so awesome
Explanation: i just signed up to get paid to go to concerts and write about them!! it is amazing
oh and you should check it out...they always need more
(more places to use that camera of yours)

Hi, I am looking for a digital camera that is under $200 and I'd like for it to be something that makes good quality videos with good sound for Youtube. And I want to take pictures on it too and I want one with clear nice pictures too. I also want it to have a long battery life. Any reccomendations? What else should I look for about the digital camera? Thank you for your help!

Best Answer: Hi! I highly recommend the canon powershot sd 1100 is. I recently got it for my birthday and absoulity love it. If you order on amazon.com, they sell it for $160. This camera takes high quality pictures that are super clear. It also takes good quality videos. You can take pictures and film in different modes, like color accent, which focuses on one color and everything is black and white, sepia, and just black and white. The battery life is long, because I used it nonstop for 2 days and the battery was still there(rechargeable). The. Camera comes in blue, pink, brown, silver, and gold. I have the blue one. Hope you get the canon powershot as 1100is. It's an amazing camera!

- try the canon powershot series.
canon is one of the better brands.
also, a tip: megapixels isnt everything. TRUST ME. if all you're gonna be doing is taking pics of yourself/friends, foolin around with photography a little bit, and of course videos... even 3 megapixels would be just fine. but i know in todays time, even cheapo cameras come with 8 megapixels.

- Sony cybershot,
canon and nikon cameras are always good

- a canon

I am currently a student in high school, and I am very interested in digital photography. I do not have a lot of experience with purchasing cameras, and I am looking for a digital camera that has great features, easy to use functions, and is durable. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Best Answer: SLR is good but $$$ even the inexpensive ones are $500+.
A good point and shoot that has full manual shooting capability will be $250+ and it is the minimum I would recommend for someone who thinks they might get serious about shooting since even if you upgrade later on, you can still learn how to take pictures by using the full manual mode.
Then IF you decide to upgrade to a true SLR/DSLR, you can always use the P&S as a pocket camera while the DSLR/SLR can become your serious shooter.
On the other hand if you decide that Photography is not your thing, it hasn't cost you alot to figure that out.
HTH.

- If your budget allows, get an SLR Digital Camera. They are not real expensive, but more so than a regular digital. The slr stands for single lens reflex. It is like a regular 35mm camera, with changeable lenses and filters and such, but uses digital media to store the picture. They take stunning pictures, and are adaptable to any setting by a simple lens or filter change.
The Nikkon D-70 is one to look at, as well as many others.
I bought my wife a D-50 several years ago, and she loves it to this day. The D-70 has a few more modes, which make it lots easier for newer photographers. You don't have to worry about all the settings as much that way, and can just take high quality pics right off the bat. Then, once you learn more about photography and your camera, you can really get to work!

- Canon XTI, it will drop in price when the XSI comes out. Even a used 10d, 20d, or 30d will be great. Lenses and accessories are another story!

- The key going with a digital SLR is to pick the system that you want to grow into first and then select a body that fits your price range. The two big players in the market are Canon and Nikon so I would look at these two systems and see which brand has the lenses and accessories that I want to use in photography then select a camera body that I can afford along with a good entry level lens.
I would lean towards Canon and the Rebel series for a beginner, but the Nikon D40 and D60 Nikons are serious contenders in this market as well.
Good luck!

- Actually the best camera for a student photographer is a 35mm SLR. After you have learned to compose, expose, develop and print your images, then you can buy a DSLR that matches the lenses you have from you classes.
