What is the best Digital Camera I can buy and how many MegaPixels should I get?

Answer 1

Even though I personally own this ultra compact camera, I would still like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 for the following reasons:

1. Besides taking well-exposed hi-quality 5 megapixel pictures, it uses a standard set of rechargeable double AA batteries which last a very long time;
2. Has a 3x optical zoom;
3. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
4. It's very small and light;
5. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards;
6. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
7. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
8. Has tripod mount on bottom of camera;
9. And the price is a mere $119 [sold at Samy's Camera - www.samys.com, and Staples.com.]

Review(s) can be found at www.amazon.com [Query: "Nikon Coolpix L10" along with pictures provided by satisfied purchasers.]

Good luck!

Hello,

6 megapixels will easily blow up to an 11x14 print. As for which is best, it depends on what you will use it for. If you want to do with it and how much you are willing to spend. You can get a nice point and shoot camera for around $200. For another $100-200 you can add more options like better optical zoom, more picture modes and a bigger LCD screen. The next set of digital cameras are the DSLR's. These are the ones you can buy different lenses for and add filters to. These will cost you at least $800. Depending on the model and accessories you can easily spend thousands of dollars on one of these cameras.

As to which brands are best, my choices are Canon, Nikon, and Fuji. You will do well with any of these.

Answer 3

4 to 6 megapixels is sufficient for most users. As for best digital camera, who knows? How much will you be spending?

Answer 4

I find 1 megapixel is good for most photos--however if you want to blow them up fairly large or use the zoom a lot you may need 4 to 6 megapixels. Optical zoom is better for resolution than digital zoom.

Answer 5

5 MegaPixels should be enough for normal size prints.

Answer 6

i really like the sony cyber shot. mine has 7.2 mp thats enough for me. 9mp would be nice too. but im going by price, im not willing to spend over $250 for a camera.
