My friend and I have gotten really into the art of filming, scripting, and editing, and I need to know a super high quality (yet cheap) camera we could buy. Preferably good in low light conditions. We are buying it used on eBay, and cannot spend more than 450 dollars on it. Please help me out! thanks :)

What to look for in a digital camera?

I want a camera that doesn't take blurry pictures when people might move a little. When looking at the product details of a camera...what should I look for?


Answer
I would suggest looking for cameras that have the right look and feel in your circumstances. By that I mean all of the features in the world are useless if they are locked hopelessly behind a set of navigation menus that make little sense to YOU. You need to think about the kinds of shots you plan to take, and then try a few cameras in retail stores and see what it takes to get to that set of camera settings.

Yes, Megapixels is important. Anything above 5.0 megapixel is probably a fine choice for most people. That will yield a 8x10 without much difficulty if you store in low-compression mode.
Many cameras also include some form of "DSP" digital signal processor which is used primarily for Anti-Shake. Different vendors call it different things but it is used to eliminate a bit of movement which is otherwise inevitable.

Then you need to look at form-factor. Do you want Digital SLR or shirtpocket? Again, think of where YOU plan to use it. A Tremendous Digital SLR (like the Canon Digital Rebel) is a great camera, but I doubt too many home photographers will take it to their vacation spots. It's a pro or studio-style camera.

Finally, look for OPTICAL zoom. At least 3x. Remember the more you zoom, the more likely shots will be blurred due to camera movement since the field is magnified. Digital zoom is not even interesting to most users now since it simply magnifies the errors and pixelates in the process.

I currently like the Casio EX-S770 Exlim Card. The EX-Z1000A is also a great choice. Both retail at $349. Both are 10 megapixels and have DSP stabilization. The 770 is much thinner, but rates at 200 shots per charge, while the 1000A is thicker and rates at 360 shots per charge. They both fit in the shirtpocket, albiet the 770 is a bit more comfortable in the pocket. (Canon also has a new ELF SD900 which feels very good, and Sony has the new T50 which is a bit pricey, but nice form).

Think price, style, zoom, battery, navigation, etc.
