Whats the best camera for slow frames, zooming, close range focus, ect?
Answer
I recommend to anyone seriously contemplating the purchase of a new digital SLR camera to consider these two primary questions:
1. How much money do you have to spend???? $500.? $800.? $1,500.?
2. What level of photography do you aspire to "progress to" in the coming years ? (i.e. basic beginner, intermediate, or professional/business use).
For most beginners to intermediates I usually suggest one of these two manufacturers: Canon vs Nikon
1. Canon EOS Rebel model XSi. (Also known as the Canon 450D in Britain) The "kit" package comes with an 18-55mm zoom lens. The camera has pop-up flash, 12.2 Megapixels, and shutter speeds up to 1/4000th, 100-1,600 ISO sensitivity, 7 auto exposure Scene modes, PLUS Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority and Programmed Exposure Modes and Manual. It also has a 3 inch LCD screen, 3.5 frames continuous per second max., 9 point AF system, Live View Functioning and the ability to record photos in 3, 6 or 12 Megapixels PLUS numerous other great features found only on more expensive cameras. Wal-Mart is also selling them now for about $799. Sam's Club also has them for $729. I also think that Amazon dot com has them for around $650. Hereâs some more info about this FANTASTIC camera: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/XSI/XSIA.HTM#
I bought one of these 6 months ago and use it as my "back up" camera. I absolutely love it. I have gotten some fantastic photos with it and cannot praise it enough. I routinely enlarge my photos to make 8x10's and 11x14 size enlargements with no noticeable distortion or loss of detail in the pictures.
Another excellent choice from Canon includes the Rebel XS (also known as the EOS 1000D) which is a 10 megapixel camera which comes with the 18-55mm lens. It sells for around $550-600. US Dollars. http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/XS/XSA.HTM
2. Nikon D-90: If you prefer to use Nikon equipment I strongly recommend the Nikon D-90 which has 12.3 Megapixels, 3 inch monitor with Live View, 200-3,200 ISO sensitivity, 11 point AF system with Face Priority, 4.5 frames per second in continuous mode, 5 advanced Scene modes for auto exposure plus Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Programmed Auto plus Manual. The D-90 sells for around $900-950. (Body ONLY. The 18-55mm lens cost an additional $150.-175.) Typically, Nikon equipment is slightly more expensive than Canon equipment, but (having owned both Nikon and Canon cameras), I have seldom noticed BETTER quality results using Nikon equipment. Hereâs some more info about this Nikon: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D90/D90A.HTM
Another great choice is the 10.2 megapixel Nikon D-60 kit ($649) which also comes with the 18-55mm lens. All of these Nikon's can be found at Best Buy or Amazon dot com for a very low price. To learn more about this Nikon check this site out: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/ND60/ND60A.HTM
If you are convinced that Nikon is the way to go, but donât have as much money to spend, there are several other models to consider.You might prefer the 6.1 megapixel Nikon D-40 ($499) kit that comes with the 18-55mm lens. To learn more this Nikon camera check this site out: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/ND40/ND40A.HTM
These selections are probably the best choices for any beginner to intermediate skill level, offering the most lenses and other accessories, dealers and places to purchase.
I strongly recommend that ALL beginners buy a good book on digital photography AND take a class or two from a Vocational school or Community Education Center in your area.

Canon DSLR vs Canon Long Zoom?
Andrea
here's the basic gist. I am looking to get a good quality picture for a book I wrote that can be condensed to a 300dpi 4x5.
Right now I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX9V 16.2 Megapixel with 16x optical zoom.
I was looking at a Canon DSLR 12.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with 18-55mm
and a Canon PowerShot SX50 12.1 MP with 50x Optical Zoom
I do know the zoom on the Powershot is going to be better than on the DSLR... but which is going to take the best quality photo in day and dark... that can be resized for the book at 300dpi 4x5?
Answer
In the first place you are NOT going to need a super fantastic size enlargement. But you do need quality. And you can assure that by first setting your camera to maximum resolution and leaving it their! The DSLR will not allow you to do close-ups like the film SLR's of yesteryear, with the lens that comes with the camera, so you will need a macro lens. This represents another expense as does changing any requirements on a DSLR means another lens to fill the bill. If you want excellent quality and have an all encompassing camera the Canon Powershot SX 50 IS is the one to get. The only fault I have to find this camera is that the length of the telephoto end of the zoom lens is so long that for me at least (age 70) I would need a tripod to avoid hand holding camera shake. Yes the camera does have lens stabilization, but If I can't hold the camera steady enough so the sides do not shake when in the telephoto position I don't want the camera. As a result I purchased an earlier, refurbished model of this camera with a shorter zoom lens. And I like the camera over all very much.
Now I just noticed you handed another wrinkle at me! You want quality in day and "dark". What does "dark" mean? Low light levels? If the answer to that is yes. Then you have no other choice than to purchase a DSLR regardless of how expensive they can get when you add in all the lenses. Because the Canon Powershot has a slow (light gathering power) of f/3.4 to f/6.5. Where as you can get a 50mm lens for the DSLR with lens speed of f/1.4 for about $400.00. As you can see, there are many things to consider before you plunk down your money.
Good Luck.
