Which is the best and most effective digital camera?

Answer 1

human eye

Answer 2

Are you talking point & shoot/compact or SLR? Consumer camera or professional? These categories are far apart, there are different winners in each.

Overall, the best digital SLR on the market right now is the Nikon D200 - it's been getting rave reviews since it's introduction late last year. But it costs $2000. In the $700 price range, the best camera is probably the Canon Digital Rebel XT. It really depends what type of camera/price point you're looking at, as to which model is best.

Answer 3

in my opinion the best digital cameras out there at the moment are made by Nikon. they do a wide variety of costing cameras, but their top quality range ones are by far the best.

the Nikon D80, (w/Nikkor 18mm-135mm f/3.5-to-f/5.6 ED-IF AF-S lens) has excellent color rendition and noise levels; large feature set; highly customizable; lightning-fast performance. This camera is a massive 10megapixels!! the only bad points to this are, Full-Raw editor costs extra; flash sync of 1/200 second
However this will set you back roughly $1299.00 (£600)

there are of course alternatives that are not as expensive, like;

Canon EOS Rebel XTi (body only, black) which is compact and lightweight; fast and responsive; intelligently designed with shooting-friendly layout. this one too is 10mega pixels, however, the second status LCD has been eliminated; there is a slow kit lens; no spot metering; poor exposure of backlit subjects
this one will set you back a fairly reasonable $750 (£375)

and for people like myslef who haven't got massive aounts of money to throw around on expensive cameras, then theres this:

Kodak EasyShare C875, it had solid pictures and performance; manual controls; strong zoom lens. this camera is still a reasonable 8 megapixels point-and-shoot, doesn't have any outrageous gimmicks, but it produces good pictures and offers plenty of advanced controls.
the bad points, finicky controls; no image stabilization
This camera will set you back around $240 (£120)

Answer 4

Go to a camera store and tell the salesman about your requirements and the money you can spend for that. He Will show you different models of different brands. Select a model that is good for you.

Answer 5

There is no best -- only best for you and what you are going to use it for. Start at the basics.
1. What is my budget?
2. Do I want pocket size, point and shoot with fixed zoom lens, or one with interchangeable lens?

From there you can start narrowing down the list to what your are really looking for. If you need more help at that point, repost your questions and I'm sure you will get more suggestions and help.

Answer 6

First what's your budget?. Second how many pixels? Third and the most important is would you prefer a 'point and shoot' or a professional SLR. By far what I can guess from your question I would recommend you to go for 'Olympus Camedia 5500'. It would serve your purpose pretty well and on my side I would receive 10 points. Point n Shoot mate. Quick. Thanks.
