witch digital camera to buy?

Answer 1

Start with the budget. This may seem backwards, but it's not. You can find a decent camera to match any amount of money you want to spend.

Next, find a friend who will help you learn how to use the camera. This "friend" could even be the clerk in your local photo shop. By "photo shop," I mean an actual camera shop or at least a camera department where the sales staff only deals with cameras and not dishwashers, too. Buy the camera that your friend recommends so that they will be able to teach you how to use it.

After you know what you are doing and are ready for your next camera - and this will come sooner than you think - you will be in a position to make your own choice.

Choose the best one by deciding what you want to do, how much you want to learn, how far you want to progress and how much you want to spend.

Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists. It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular. The A640 is virtually the same, but it is 10 MP instead of 8 MP (A630) or 7 MP (A620).

If you want to trim the budget a little, the Canon Powershot A430, A530 or A540, are all great choices. You will still need a decent memory card as discussed above, though.

Answer 2

Definitely Sony. Anything Sony. That is if you are just taking leisure photos. Canon for pro job.Although Konica 5D or 7D would be a great buy in the secondary market as its no longer in production. As Konica has been bought out by Sony. Just the camera div. With digital photography you will definitely need software to store and organize, not to mention editing.

Answer 3

Buy the XYZ camera! Its the best! I have one and everyone loves my pictures! I don't know anything about photography and my mommy and daddy bought it for me, so it must be GOOD! Is never given me any problems, but I've never printed anything out I just look at the screen on the back and delete them. I've never had a problem with it because I wouldn't know if it was a problem or not.
LISTEN to Dr Sam and none of these other ninnies!
