Cameras - August 2006

I got tired of having to take 6 or 7 disposable cameras to my Mardi Gras type events in Florida. Instead, I purchased a 200.00 HP M407, along with a 256 memory stick. The problem I'm having is I can't seem to find a way to point and shoot before the action has already taken place. I press the shutter, but the camera has to access the memory card, then the flash goes off, then I look up and realize I'm all alone and the crowd is halfway down the freaking street!! Are all digital cameras like this, or am I doing something wrong?

I am shopping for my 1st Digital camera. This is my FIRST leap into the Digital picture "scene"..... I want a camera that will keep it's technological-edge so it will not be outdated w.i. 2 months or so.
I have an "older" 35-mm camera with more lenses than I know what to do with. I feel quite "skilled" using that camera. - I have a few BEAUTIFUL outdoor scenes I took w. it years ago.
For what "specifics" should I shop in a Digital camera? - I receive many suggestions from my local stores tauting "THIER cameras are best......."
Thanks for suggestions and advice.

- What do you call this feature (technical name)?

- I assume it cannot be tempered ("roll back the mileage")? Can you trust this number when buying a used camera?

- Which camera brand(s) has this feature?

I just bought a new Canon SD630 digital camera. Canon sent a program to use to edit before I send to internet to get printed or stored. Since Shutterfly, Kodak etc edit them before printing, should I just let them do it?Pictures look pretty good as is and Canons program isn't easy.

take a close up, quality still shot. I am not into photography but I want to take a shot of my product to appear in a trade magazine.
I have a cheap camera but it can't focus close up and it does not have enough resolution (blurry). What do I need to get, what features do I look for? The product is small and can fit on a table top.

I'm getting ready to head to college, and I'd like to find an affordable digital camera, but one that has good quality. My preference would be one that has film-quality. It's just for candid shots.... birthdays and the like, but I would like to be able to print them without the photos looking overly-flashed or pixelized/grainy. What kind of camera should I look for? what brands stick out as far as quality? If you could answer my questions it would be much appreciated.

I have noticed that ALL of my Nikon cameras - from P&S to D200 - produce files with 300 pixels per inch resolution. My son's Canon A620 produces files with 180 pixels per inch. If you crop a full frame from either camera to any matching print size, the resulting pixels per inch will be close to the same thing.

Another way to look at this: The Canon image is nominally 6 MP at 3072 x 2304 pixels. At 180 pixels per inch, the resulting full format print would be 17.067" x 12.8". The Nikon D70s "6 MP" image is 3008 x 2000 pixels, but the resulting full format print would only be 10.027" x 6.667". If I crop the full frame of the Canon image to 10" x 6.67", I lose a bit of the full image, but the resulting image will be 307.2 pixels per inch resolution.

Can anyone help educate me here? Why did Nikon choose 300 pix/in and Canon 180 pix/in? When it comes down to it, is the Nikon image really higher resolution?

Thanks.

My canon powershot A520 recently got its memory card formatted with all of my favorite pictures of people i'll never see again, so i'm really mad, and i wondered if there is ANY way to recover anything?

I don't know what happened to it. It works sometimes, but other times it won't open and says to turn power off.
The zoom function makes the lens click repetitively. Turning the camera on does the same thing. It is a little over a year old.


Is it fixable?

is it digital art? I believe that real photography lies with the photographer and his lens, polorisers, etc allowed. Doctoring it in photoshop or similar software afterwards turns it into artwork. Any photographers out there? I'm not a purist but I see their objections

Please help me select a lens for my travels. I'll be using D70S and my budget for a lens is around $300-400. in addition, is it worth paying 3x as much for nikon lens than sigma? I'm just an amateur so i'm thinking it really shouldn't matter. Please share your thoughts! Thank you!!!!
