16 megapixel camera with 10x zoom image
M T
I'm 16, and I want to get into photography. I don't think I want to do it as a profession, but definitely a hobby. To take good pictures of nature, people, events, ect., do I really need an SLR? I really want a Canon Rebel, but I can't afford that. Any reccomendations for under 300$?
Answer
If you can't afford a DSLR, I'd recommend to get a point and shoot that has full manual controls. For example, Canon SX110 IS. It is a 9 megapixel camera with 10x optical zoom and image stabilization. It has Av, Tv and M modes too.

What's the best digital camera to take professional looking pictures, even up-close.?

I have a Kodak z740 and it's great!!! I've found it takes really good pictures if you're perfectly still or get the right amount of lighting, but if the lighting is not just perfect, it will blur a little. I want a camera with alot of megapixels for enlarging and one that doesn't rely so much on the lighting. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

Best is a relative term. The best digital camera is the one that best meets your needs that you can afford.
The problems, camera shake and lighting, are problems that effect every photographer whether they using a $10.00 disposible or a $35,000.00 Hasselblad H3D 39. It's not the camera that takes the perfect picture, it's the photographer. If you don't learn how to properly handle the camera you have, you'll only carry the problems you're having with the Z740 to whatever you get next.
The Z740 is a 5mp camera with a 10X optical f/2.8 - 3.7 zoom lens. It's not a bad camera.
Using your flash more or getting a tripod (and I don't mean one of those flimsy things that fold down to eight inches and expand out to six feet but one that is sturdy) will help you in low light or close up situations.
Bracing your camera better will also help. Most people who have point and shoot digital cameras tend to hold them away from their body and frame the picture in the view screen. The further away from your body that you hold the camera, the greater the amount of shake. If you use the viewfinder you can eliminate a lot of camera shake because you're bracing the camera with three points -- your two hands and your forehead.
As far as a camera that "doesn't realy so much on the lighting." There isn't one. Every camera out there, especially digital, relies on light. You can't record an image without light. The key is knowing how to use the light available to you to record an image. If there's not enough existing light, then you need some kind of artifical light, which is your flash. But you need to know your flash's limitations. Basically, at your widest setting you need to be within 2 to 16 feet of your subject. At your longest (telephoto) setting you need to be within 6 to 12 feet. Outside of these ranges your flash won't be fully effective.
Every camera has some limitations. You need to learn how to work with those limitations to get the right exposure. Once you get consistently good results with your Z740, then it's time to move up to a bigger and better model.
