  • Camera Opinions

    Looking to buy a digital camera. I have a digital video camera and the quality of the pics are decent enough... but i'm planning on doing alot next summer and this spring... traveling and what not... therefore i'd like to get a really nice digital camera but I don't want to pay for something that has more than what i need. Taking pictures while on trips and pics of my car to post online. High quality camera...


    Can someone please help me out with some ideas... I looked on ebay and well there are thousands and i'm just lost.

    I have an olympus and its pretty good. The one i have has more features than your looking for. I would go to cnet.com and check out reviews of the point and shoot digital cameras.

      I've got a Kodak LSX750. The pictures are AMAZING! 5mp, and I can blow them upto 150% on my 16" CRT screen and I strain to see the pixels. The video quality is nice as well, but the fact that they're in .mov format kinda stinks. but, Photobucket and myspace accept .mov videos (most other places don't). You could go with a 4mp and be just fine. heck probably even a 3mp. Any name brand would do fine. Olympus, Kodak, Sony, Fuji, etc etc. Thing is, if you get a good camera, you're gonna want a good photo printer as well, so keep that in mind as well.

        I got a sony cybershot which I thought was pretty good for the price. It takes videos too which I really wanted to have in the camera.

          Canon Powershot A710 IS is awesome! I am extremely happy with this camera. Image stabilization is the wave of the future; to get one without it now is crazy, IMHO. Handheld 1/5" exposures with not a hint of blur is great! Great movie modes (up to 60 fps!), stitch assist, and full manual controls.

          I have some recent pics and videos here: http://www.leadingedgesim.com/mkapro...ndex.php?cat=2
          The images are resized by 50% and slightly compressed. If you are interested in the original shots, email me.

          If you want one a little less expensive, look into the lower cameras in the Powershot line. They are all great, but only the A710 IS has optical image stabilization.

          My only regret is not going with the Powershot G7. Same basic features but even better. That's probably more than you're looking for, though.

              Another vote for Canon ............ they are amazing cameras ............ i have sony ........ it takes really good pictures but it's bulky, slow flash recovery time, crappy battery life, even the slightest hand move makes the pic blurry ...........then oneday i used my friends cannon ..........amazing camera ........we were at the party and we took picture while in the dance floor and picture came out perfect ........... we almost had it on all night long , no battery drain ..........it's slim ....very user friendly ............. that camera made my sony look like crap ............. so go with canon, you wont be disappointed ......... i think my friend had the previous model of this class (elph) ...... here's the new model ...............http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/co...&modelid=14227 ............. my next camera deff would be cannon ............. i have used sony, kodak, casio, nikon (<--- 2nd position after canon , takes crystal clear pic, good options but bulky camera) .................... good luck

                        so the one on top is better because hit has better MP right? Just wondering if I want something with alot of pixels because i am wanting it to be small enough to carry around easily, pocket size, and yet have really really good quality pictures.

                              The Cannon cameras are great, but my next will be a Sony. Thats because it can connect up to and use the slideshow feature built into my Sony LCD TV. Tried using it with my brother-in-laws Cannon camera and the TV didn't recognize it.
