best digital camera?

Answer 1

Price point? $200-300 get a Canon A640, it takes really nice pictures overall. $400-500 get either the Canon S1 or S2 if you do not want an SLR or get the Nikon D40. $600-700 get the Canon Rebel XTi, its a really nice camera, I highly recommond it. $800-1000 Nikon D80, its more prosumer than comsumer but it takes really nice pictures. $1100+ Canon 30D, Nikon D200, etc.

Do not get Sony SLR's they are testing the waters and their imagine quality lacks.

Answer 2

There is no such camera as that is too subjective and becomes a matter of opinion. There are three classes of cameras, though. There is the consumer class costing $ 350 or less and are generally "view finder" type cameras, weather you view through a small window off set from the lens or on a moderate sized LCD screen. Then there are the prosumer cameras costing $ 1000 or less. The better ones in this class will be DSLR rather than view finder types and will have inter-changeable lenses. And, lastly, there are the professional DSLRs costing well over $1000. What is "best" depends on your pocket book and what you want to use it for. Pentax has one of the better mid priced DSLRs for around $700 that can well compete with much more expensive Nikon's, Cannons and Olympus's. Of the consumer digital cameras that I have (a 1.2 m/p spy cam and a 2.3 m/p Toshiba) I can take all the "snap shots" I care to. For my pro work (I do a lot of macro work) I use a Pentax *ist DL that at 6.2 m/p (3008x2008 RAW and 3008x2000 JPG) gives me all the quality I need. In layman's language that is a lot of over kill for a consumer that can get acceptable 4x6 prints with a Kodak Easy shoot for under $300.

Answer 3

Canyon Rebel if you are looking for a profession picture. It is more expensive but has the big lens and you can do manual or automatic focusing etc.

Canyon also makes a smaller digital camera that is great to keep in my purse and for those unexpected moments.

Answer 6

I've had a canon and now I have a sony. I'd have to say that sony is better. Especially now that they have bought The Carl Zeiss lens. It is faster than sony, and well, what more do you want than a good quality picture and a fast processor. -----sony-----

Answer 7

look into the canon powershot series, those seem to be really good.
