What is the best digital camera?

Sis

I would like one that is compact, buttons that aren't really tiny, lets me record videos, download photos on2 an ipod possibly, and can produce really good pictures like crystal clear.

Answer
There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say which is best, but digital is definitely the way to go. The following link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices. http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/ ...

What gives a camera its picture quality? The following information should help you know what to look for in a camera.

The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures.

Many of the new cameras come with only an LCD screen. Would suggest that you find one that also has an optical view finder because the LCD screen is almost impossible to see in bright sun.

Higher mega pixels may not really be the best thing to look for. It is more expensive, takes longer to process, and may not be needed unless you are making a really large picture or blowing up a small part of a picture. http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=398&pq-locale=en_US&_requestid=2039 ...

Check this camera. FUJIFILM - FinePix 10.0-Megapixel Digital. This is more camera for the money.
Wide-angle shooting, a 12x optical zoom and picture stabilization mode combine in this camera for exceptional shooting performance, even at a distance. Plentiful scene modes, autofocus and automatic white balance controls make this camera a snap to operate. Life time Warranty (Parts & Labor).You may be able to find it on the Internet for a lower price ($144), but be careful of the vendor.

This could be the best slim line camera. It's PINK!

The information about my camera is just to show that you don't need the biggest and best. Just know how to use the one you have.

My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes ... like magic.

Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Ask what cameras they own, but don't believe everything you hear. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner's manual. You may be able to view the owners manual at this link. http://www.retrevo.com/s/digital+camera ...

Digital Camera with good video recording quality?

qanda15

Can you recommend a small digital camera that has very good video recording quality? Basically I want something almost as good as a video camera, but that fits in my pocket.

Answer
I use a Canon Digital Ixus 850 IS (also known as Canon Powershot SD800 Digital Elph), which has excelent movie quality. It even makes me wonder if a camcorder is justifiable anymore and with a 4 or 8 GB SDHC card you can record up to 1 hour of video at 640x480 30fps and the movie looks splendid. The camera is ultra-compact, very stylish, round with no protrusions and nothing to snag into your clothes, fits easily in your jeans pocket and has a durable metal body which has resisted so far 3 drops on the floor, cement, a hard hit with the lens opened and still works perfectly.

Here's full review of the camera: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canonsd800is/

digital camera?

Q. ok i want to buy a digital camera and umm i want it also 2 take vids do u guys know about how much it will cost (i am going 2 buy at stores like bestbuy or if they have them at target)

Answer
Even though I personally own this ultra compact camera, I would still like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 [which has no shutter lag] 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 - 300 shots per set of rechargeables;
2. Has a 3x optical zoom;
3. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
4. It's very small and light;
5. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards;
6. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
7. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
8. Has tripod mount on bottom of camera;
9. And the price is a mere $119 [sold at Samy's Camera - www.samys.com, and Staples.com; $99 at amazon.com]

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

Good luck!

Digital camera?

Ms.Hockey!

Hello out there!! Im looking for a decent digital camera but I don't need anything fancy. Just one that will take quality pictures, let me zoom and do simple edits but nothing to hi tech. I travel to Florida a lot and also go out a lot so I want a smaller sized one. I don't want to pay to much for it, im thinking no way over 200$ but anything in that range...100-150!

I kinda want one of the colored kodak ones, does anyone know how much they cost and how simple they are to use??

any suggestions are appreciated!

Whats a good compact digital camera that takes good video?

Ben B

Answer
MovieSnap mode lets you capture high-resolution still images while shooting a movie
With Movie Snap, youâll never miss a perfect still shot just because youâre in the middle of shooting a movie. Simply press the shutter to record a high-resolution still. The PowerShot SX10 IS supports the MOV video format which reduces data volume by approximately 60 percent. This allows you to record longer movies while maintaining optimal image quality.

Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

10.0-megapixel resolution for high-quality printing and flexibility when editing
20x optical zoom, wide-angle lens and Optical Image Stabilizer; improved speed and quiet zooming
2.5-inch Vari-angle LCD; DIGIC 4 Image Processor improves Face Detection
MovieSnap mode lets you capture high-resolution still images while shooting a movie
Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards

best digital camera with video recording and over 8mp for under $150.00?

taylorg939

this would be my 5th camera due to either breaking it or hating it.
i like taking pictures but i love making movies even more so i want something that's good with both.

-thanks

Answer
While most cameras take video, and some camcorders take photos; to get the best of both, you need both. Have not seen a camera that compares with the video from a camcorder and camcorders can't take good quality photos. Suggest the least expensive Canon Camcorder and the Canon A590IS camera.

It is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures. Mega pixel resolution is about potential photo size, not picture quality.

In new cameras, look for a viewfinder (LCD invisible in bright sun), optical image stabilizer, and check battery prices. High mega pixel settings take longer to process and may not be needed unless required for very large pictures. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel setting is 8 x 10 inches. Click links below for more details.
http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=398&pq-locale=en_US&_requestid=2039 ...
http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm ...

The Canon A590IS is a slightly older model that is available everywhere at great sale prices. Think it is a great camera and a best buy. It has auto focus, a viewfinder, optical image stabilization, and uses rechargeable NiMH batteries.
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/A590IS/A590ISA.HTM ...
http://bountii.com/deal-1523871-canon-powershot-8-0-megapixel.html ...

For expanded wide angle or telephoto capabilities, the A590 IS is compatible with Canon's accessory lens adapters: A small button next to the lens bezel is actually a latch; press it and you can remove the bezel ring, exposing a bayonet mount for accessory lenses. Canon offers the WC-DC52 0.7x wide-angle lens, the TC-DC52A telephoto lens, the 250D 52mm closeup lens separately, along with the LA-DC52G adapter to mount them on the camera. (Note that the wide, tele, and macro lenses all need the LA-DC52G adapter to mount them to the camera. The lenses won't work by themselves.)

There is no one particular place to get great buys, but you may see something above that really helps you find the best buy. Click on the second link in the information above for an example then search for your camera of choice at the upper left. Camera prices at this link change often.

This could be the best slim line camera with a viewfinder and ... It's PINK, but it uses a $49.50 Series G Rechargeable 960mAh lithium-ion battery.

There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say which is best. The second source link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices. The following information should help you know what to look for in a camera.

CAUTION Do not overcharge! Batteries can be damaged. Use an automatic two or more hour Energizer Compact smart charger with temperature monitor, trickle charge technology, and safety timer ($9.76) at Walmart. Use pre-charged 2000mAh Duracell ($12.97) or RayOVac ($5.97) batteries (both hold charge one year) and a full cycle charge. To preserve battery charge, use the viewfinder.

CAUTION To prevent memory card corruption, keep batteries charged and don't delete. Wait for lights to stop flashing then turn camera off before removing memory. For card readers, double click Safely Remove Hardware. Select, then click Stop and OK.

i have a samsung compact digital camera (not an SLR) & it is 12.2 mega pixels. not sure what make but when im recording videos and have something up close, it just doesn't focus, is there something i need to do to make it focus? HELP

Answer
P&S cameras (actually all camera lenses) have a minimum focal distance. For example the Samsung SL600 is 31.5" on normal and 39.4" on telephoto.

You would need to look up the specs for your particular model.

What's the best digital camera with good sound quality?

I search for the best compact digital camera for taking the videos on gigs and festivals preferably aspect ratio 16:9. All cams have poor sound quality when it comes to the electronic music and beats.
I don't really want a big camcorder, something easy to carry around with good BASS SOUND RECORDING. Price doesn't matter, in fact nothing matters except good sound quality.

I'm looking for a small/compact digital camera (at least 8MP and 3x zoom) that can record very good video. (720p, if possible, but its pretty hard to get one). I really want to keep the price under 300 bucks, 200 if possible. I really like the Nikon S60, how well does it take video?

Answer
For under 300 I would recommend Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 10.1 MP with 12x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3 inch LCD.It take good picture quality and also take HD video

or for 200, Canon PowerShot SD780IS12.1 MP with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD is a good choice.720p HD video.

What are some good cameras that are perfect for recording that take SD cards?

deadcow

What are some good cameras that are perfect for recording that take SD cards? I would love a compact digital camera that's PERFECT for video taking. The camera has to be able to use SD cards. Thanks!

Answer
Perfect? Nothing that doesn't have boobs can ever be perfect. At least that is what my wife tells me.

Many recent P&S cameras will do a pretty good job of producing video, even in high definition. None however will be able to store much video on an SD card. They all use SDHC nowadays. If you go to http://www.dpreview.com you can do a search on cameras with video capability. Read the reviews on all those that look interesting.

Which digital camera should I buy?

Anonymous

I want a good quality compact digital camera with HD video recording. I'd prefer if it was on the cheaper side! I'm probably asking for too much, but if there is a cheap camera out there that matches my criteria, can you please suggest it? Thanks!

Answer
Hopefully, the $200 price range is on the cheaper side. If that's the case, then the Canon Powershot SD1400 fits your criteria. It can record movies in HD (720p is the maximum resolution). The rest of the specs are here:

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/digital_cameras/powershot_sd1400_is

The Nikon Coolpix S5100 is also something you should look into. It records movies in 720p as well, and it's slightly less expensive than the Canon at about $150.

What is a good compact camera for recording high-volume, high-definition audio/video?

S3NT13NT_G

Hello everybody. Here is the problem I'm having:

I am an enthusiastic concert attendee, and I go to a lot of Metal shows. I also like to record parts of the shows I go to, so I can go back and re-live the experience later. But these shows are LOUD! Around 115-130 decibels, to be more specific. And at that kind of high volume, most camera microphones are overloaded and the resulting videos have sound that is distorted, scratchy, and unlistenable.

What I have tried already:

I have owned a Fujifilm JV-100 in the past, and I currently own a Canon SX-260 HS and neither of these have decent audio. My fiancée's old Sony Cybershot DSC-W50, on the other hand, has great sound quality. The only issue with that is that it's ancient, shoots poor quality photos, and doesn't have full-HD video capability. I'm also not sure if the newer models of Sony Cybershots have the same quality of internal microphone and when I asked a sales representative about this and she was unable to give me an answer.

Limitations:

Using an actual camcorder is out of the question, as is buying an expensive digital SLR. It must be a compact, point-and-shoot camera because otherwise the event staff/venue security deem it a "professional device" and will not allow it inside the concert venues without a press pass, which I obviously do not have. I also cannot use a separate audio recording device, because it is impractical and I need the convenience of all the components (camera, video recorder, audio recorder) in one single device.

What I need:

Simply put, I need a compact, point-and-shoot camera that is capable of shooting in low-light settings, that is capable of recording HD video, and has an internal microphone that doesn't fuzz out at high volumes. I also need it on a budget, which is less than $400.

Please offer me some suggestions for what model camera I should look into buying. I'm tired of wasting my money on cameras that don't work under the rigorous conditions I have described. If there are other metalheads out there who've had the same problem, I'd really appreciate it if you could give me your recommendations. Thanks in advance.

Answer
The Sony Cybershot DSC-WX10 [ 16.2 megapixels]
Panasonic Lumix LX5 [ 10.1 megapixels ]
Nikon Coolpix S8100 [ 12.1 megapixels ] check the great prices via abesofmaine.com

What is a good digital camera that is under 200 dollers?

best compact digital camera for video recording image

arrowheart

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?

Answer
The cheapest digital camera I'd recommend getting is the Fujifilm Finepix F10. It has a lithium ion battery for awesome battery life. It will shoot video with sound nonstop until the membory card is full (about 28 minutes for a 2GB card). It has a larger (1/1.7") sensor than most compact digital cameras for awesome low light performance. It only has a 3X optical zoom, so it might not be ideal for a concert. I've done it, but I was only 50 feet from the stage.
