I am attending photography class and was wondering what type of digital camera would take the best picture and how to choose a digital camera.

I have a Fuji FinePix S9500( 10 megapixels ) Manual or Auto mode and large video clip. It user friendly /light weight and the best thing is.....it make you look like a pro.

If you are taking classed the teacher most likely would know. Also most of the ones people buy for their snap shots would not be very good for professional work. SLR digital cameras with over 12 mega pixels is the lower end of pro stuff. they are not cheap and the extra lenses are costly as well. As an armature then there are some good cameras under five hundred bucks. Just to have fun then a hundred would buy a cheap one. there may be some good used ones around as well.

There are a plethora of digital cameras out there these days- many of them take excellent photos and are truly impressive little devices.
But- for a photography class, I'd say you'd want something with full manual controls so that you can manually play with shutter speed, aperture, ISO, exposure compensation, custom color balance, etc. I'd recommend a DSLR, although they cost a bit more.
While many compact digicams have controls for, let's say, aperture priority automatic, their depths of field are so great, and the aperture range so limited anyway, it's almost not worth the trouble of having the mode. So you'll learn more about photography with a low end DSLR than a high end compact.
Nikon D50 or D80, Canon Drebel 350, or there are many others.

Stay away from the Sony Cyber-Shot cameras. All the people I know including myself experience a lot of problems with it. Go for SLR cameras.

Buy the one with the most useful features and the most expensive one that you can afford. That way you won't regret it after 2 months or so when better models are released cos you have already invested in a good one.

Depends on how much cash u want to spend. If u want a small silver pocket digital I have a Konica 4.2 megapixil (about $250) which is fantastic.

Morey's remarks are spot on. Ken's tip to ask the teacher is also good. (If you saw anything about a dark room in the syllabus, you can forget about digital all together.)

see, quality depends on megapixels
and canon is a good company but you buy according to your budget.
go to a store and tell the mant o give tyou a photographic camera.
photographic cameras have polaroid lenses and are costly.
it may cost you till 40,000-50,000 rs.

ask yourself if you are going to stay in this field for long long time to come. then ask your teacher what kind of camera the course would need. and then ask yourself about the budget that you can fork out. finally, check out www.dpreview.com to find the cameras that best fit your liking. happy snapping!
