I used to own a Kodak C330. That was too begginner for me. Even though I am 16 I still want to grow with my camera. I think I am an advanced photographer and want a camera that takes good pictures all around like maybe a good sensitive lense. Defects that I disliked about my old camera were that inside pictures were dark it had only 4 scene modes and outside night pictures didn't come out clear. I mainly want an anti-shake feature, good scene modes and a sensitive lense. I am leaning towards the Canon Powershot A610. Then the Canon Powershor A530. Or also the Casio Ex-Z260. I am also open to all suggestions for a great camera with a lot of features to fidget with. Thanks for the help in advance.

Hey there!
Depends on where you live and what budget you have. I can recommend the Canon Eos350D (Digital Rebel) with the netry level lens as a fantastic camera if you have £550 ($850 approx) to spend, but as a 16 yr old this may be beyond your budget.
As far as Digital SLR cameras go, this is one of the cheapest, and SLR cameras are the best way forward as far as adaptabilty, control and features are concerned. If you want to see the results, email me and I can send you a link to my Yahoo Photos page and you can see for yourself.
If your budget is smaller, I can recommend the Fugi Finepix range (look at cameras starting from around £170 ($250 approx) as they have good quality lenses and are usually fairly adaptable to light conditions. Problems (compared with top range) include a long shutter lag, so they aren't great for reportage or sports photography, but this will enhance your preparation and composition skills for portrait and landscape/still life work. You probably won't get an effective anti-shake lens or camera for this price, although some models do advertise it.
If you can make christmas and birthday cash count, and have a part time job, I recommend saving up for a DigSLR. Alternatively, go back to 35mm where you can now pick up top range film SLR cameras from around £100 ($150 approx).
Good luck!

This really depends on what you want and how much money you have. If you want a SLR (a big digital camera with different lenses) the Nikon ($700) is the best for the money but the Canon Rebel is the the top model but also top price ($1000).
I wanted a small camera that packed a big punch and bought a canon Powershot SD550. I LOVE IT! It fit in my purse and takes perfect fool proof pictures. I even got amazing pictures of fireworks last night. You can buy a waterproof case to use underwater and it has a million settings to change from B&W to Kids and pets. Plus, you can take video clips, have one button file transfer, a large viewing screen (also way cool....if you are viewing a picture on the screen and tilt the camera, the picture will tilt so that it's still stright...it's awsome cool!) and packs 7.1 Megapixels. It was about $300 and a very wise investment for us!

Powershot is a good camera, but you may want to grow out of it soon. Have you looked at the Nikon D50 or the Cannon Rebel? If you're looking to go pro with it, I'd suggest getting something better than a Powershot. If you want to take good amateur shots, Powershot is a good camera... the only problem I had with it was trying to take action shots... there is a delay that is rather annoying

You should consider a digital SLR. You will have diversity with lens options as well as greater control over the actual functions of the camera. Both Canon and Nikon make excellent cameras.
Review your needs and purchase the camera that fits the needs.

Sounds like you are ready for a grown up camera! I would also suggest the Canon Rebel XT (D350).
If you can't afford a new one, look for a well loved used one (where someone is fixing to upgrade).
Not only will this body offer lots of room for growth, any lens you buy for it, can be used later when you set up to a professional model.
I have one and love it.

FinePix S series. The S5100 is a step down from SLR and a step up from beginner cameras. You can attatch certain lenses, use autofocus and exposure if you like, but you can use manual focus and many exposure modes.
If you are a true pro and have deep pockets, get a Nikon D series SLR. One example is the D70. I don't know much about them, but they are pro-level SLRs.

I would suggest checking out www.digitalreview.ca or www.dpreview.com.
Both have great info on the specifics of different cameras.
