Q. I want to buy a camera and I'm torn between getting a digital camera or an SLR camera. I also want a camcorder that can record in standard definition. The problem is, i don't want to spend a lot of money and i'm not sure where to go.
I want to go to best buy, but i feel like i might get a deal on craigslist or if i go to a non chain store or a store that isn't best buy.
Is craigslist a good deal?
Where else can I go to buy a camera or camcorder that isn't best buy, target, kmart, or walmart?
Any tips or hints to purchasing something new?

im looking for a new SLR-like camera around $400...any suggestions?
Q.
A. Ok you need a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 owner to actually set the record straight on the camera then a so called expert like flotoace. I got this camera over a DSLR for a few things that DSLR cannot do. First of all if you buy a DSLR camera you will need to buy about 3-6 Lens in order to get the zoom of what the FZ-50 can get you. the FZ-50 can go from 35-420mm, price out the lens for the DSLR lens and see how much you will spend. Yes the 50 can only go to F-stop 3.7 at 420mm where the DSLR can go to 2.8 at sporting events...at a heafty weight where you will need a tripod for it while the 50 can be handheld. Now the picture quality: Wow i say the 50 gives alot of the so called DSLR great cameras a run for the money in this. I have taken stunning pics with my 50 and have put them up against other DSLR in my photo club and i have walked away with DSLR owners grumbling under thier breath that they bought the wrong cameras. The quality of the pictures, colors, sharpness is just crazy. To look at pictures that at least 740 owners of the 50 have taken go to this site:
www.flickr.com
enter in Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 and you will see amazing pics.
I did not want to carry all this equipment that you would have to with the DSLR owners have to in order to just take a picture.
Another advantage is that the FZ-50 lets you grow into the camera, lets you learn and grow. Yes it has full auto, Scene mode, and you can have full manual control too...oh and can DSLR take video in either 4:3 or 16:9 mode? Thought not!
Here are some sample pics i have taken with the 50...enjoy:

oh and if any DSLR owner ask...yes i have enlargeged some of my pics all the way to 30x36 with no problems in picture quality at all. good luck on you decision.

Q. I'm looking for an awesome camera(DSLR/SLR) that's under $800 and takes amazing photos like this
pic:http://studiobportraits.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Professional-head-shot-of-beautiful-high-school-senior-pictures-at-Studio-B-Portraits.jpg
i know that the pic was edited but im a pro at photoshop so that shouldnt be a problem. I'm just looking for a camera best for personal/ family photoshoots for a trip that i'm going on for 6 months.
and can record a video that is clear like this

A. Any DSLR would be good and will take photos like those. The D3100 is a great entry-level camera and is capable of shooting excellent quality clear and crisp shots. I'd say go with it and invest in some good lenses because that's what matters more. I suggest you read this user review to help you in making a decision:

You can get a good deal for it on here:

And since you seem to be interested in taking portraits mainly, the lens i'd suggest for you is this one:
