Do you have a digital camera?

Question

If yes, can you recommend one?

Answer 1

I love my Nikon D200, but I have no idea if it's a good choice for you.

Please post a new question. Tell us how much you want to spend, what you plan to use the camera for most of the time, and what your prior experience is with photography. With this information, we will be much more helpful to you.

This is somewhat out of date, but check this page for a general idea: http://tech.yahoo.com/rc/digital-cameras/103 Most cameras mentioned have been replaced with newer models, which we will hope are as good or better than what they replaced.

Here's another resource for you. Look on down the page if you are interested in point and shoot cameras instead of dSLR's. http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/ratings.php

Here's another listing in order by ratings.

Answer 2

Yes, I have had an Olympus digital camera for almost a year and love it.
I would recommend looking at cameras made by Olympus, Canon, Nikon, Sony and Minolta, although there are other good brands too.
It really depends on what you are looking for. .How much do you spend? Do you want a super compact camera that's easy to carry around? Do you want a camera with a good zoom lens?(then get one with a higher optical, not digital zoom). Are you going to print the pictures poster-sized ? If not, you can probably save money and buy a camera that is 5 or 6 mega-pixels.

Answer 3

Hi ,
This is Rosy. Yes I have a digital camera. It is of 8.5mm frequency. I use to carry it every moment when I go to visit some places or attain some party or picnic.I have clicked around 500 photos from that camera. It is small in size. My father had bought it from Taiwan. But actually it is made in Japan.It may price about US$5000. But i don't know actually how much it cost. I think it is the product of Digi LIfe company. It's weight is about 144g. It's photos are clear.
Thankyou!

Answer 5

I have two. A Kodak DX3700 and a Canon SD30 Elph. I love the SD Elph. It takes beautiful pictures + short video clips. Plus it is small enough to keep in a pocket or a womans handbag. I bought it 2 years ago for around $250 CAD. I don't know what it would cost now.

Answer 6

I have 2 Olympus (1 is for diving), a Fuji, a shared Canon 400, and a shared Nikon 80.

What I would reccomend is to go to the DPReview.com website http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare.asp and choose a camera with features important to you.

Do you need a zoom larger than 3x? you can get up to 18x
Do you want the shutter to fire immediately? Fuji 31fd can fire in a blink.
Do you want image stabilization?
Shoot in low level light?
Shoot action with multiple frames per second?
What video specs do you want??

All those questions can be found by working with the dpreview web site.

Answer 7

Sony,
zeiss lenses and lithiun ion battery. You want a view finder as well as just a screen.
What you want to take pics of is important.
Optical zoom is important digital zoom is b/s, you can do that on the computer.

Answer 8

If you are an artist, go for some expensive ones.

For casual use, I recommend Casio Exilim series. I have one, and everyone is just jealous of it because it's so small.

If you have an Exilim, the thing you'll hear the most is "Is that a camera?"

Answer 9

I just got a sony one, and it has all the basic functions and a lot more. One of the coolest features is that you can 'paint' on your pictures! It's kind of like the paint program on windows. Brands that I would recommend are sony and cannon

Answer 10

I have a canon powershot a40. This model is a few years old now but still takes good pictures. They are very affordable if you find one at ebay or a pawnshop, etc. If you want to spend more I suggest a newer model canon.
