Buying The Nikon S3000 ?




Laurz_2k8


Hi there,
I already own the Canon 1000D camera with a 18-55mm lens and a 75-300mm lens but looking at buying a camera to take on holidays with me as the SLR is too heavy and bulky to bring. I'm looking at buying the Nikon Coolpix S3000.
Would you recommend it?
Is there any cons with it?
Has it got a manual function to adjust aperture and shutter speed

Any other camera you would recommend ??

Thanks in advance



Answer
I think you should go with Nikon Coolpix S4000 12 MP Digital Camera

12.0 megapixels for stunning prints as large as 16 x 20 inches
Bright 3.0-inch touch-panel LCD; Sensitive Response Touch Panel; Touch Shutter and Autofocus
4x wide-angle Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens
720p HD movie recording at 24 fps
4-way VR Image Stabilization System; Smart Portrait System

WHICH CAMERA IS BETER?

Answer
the differences between the cameras you mentioned is negligible.

Both are competitive point and shoot cameras. One will not be Superior to the other. It is a matter of preference. The best thing to do is to hold each camera in your hand and find out which camera you think feels more comfortable.

Being a canon user; i'd be inclined to the elph 100. The menus will just be in a more intuitive place than the nikon. That is because i'm use to canon cameras.

Best Digital Camera.......?




Tibby


So a couple months ago I went spelunking and was told I could bring my camera along but in a ziplock bag. I guess I didn't think about it because meanwhile we were climbing up 40 feet and well let's just say I sat on my camera and the lens part got pushed in. I've had the camera for awhile so I don't think I can send it in and get it repaired. I get the "lens error" and well... I just need another camera soon.

I am now pregnant and want to have a nice camera (other than my phone) to take pictures not only of myself but of places too, because I travel.
I am looking for nothing too fancy.. just a nice digital camera that is best for taking shots of things in the open (like scenery) and also that would be great for having a pregnancy shoot or just any pix in general.
Something not too expensive either. Under $500 ( that doesn't mean I'm wanting a bunch of cameras priced at $450 lol .. I just need options and descriptions..
A camera (digital) that you have used before or have a friend that has used one and you were pleased with the photos and settings.

As you can probably tell .. I do not know much about cameras and I'll most likely go to a store and just ask them about it.. but wanted to see what others would suggest for me.

Thanks

Comparison between Nikon L810 and Canon Powershot SX500?




Mom_to_3


Earlier this year, I decided to upgrade my Kodak Point-and-Shoot to a bridge camera. I wanted the SuperZoom, plus the ability to take action shots, shots in low light, and have more options as to the quality of the photos. I am a hobbiest, not a pro by any means. I primarily take action photos (sports), photos of my children, photos of my pets, and outdoor scenery.

I bought a Nikon Coolpix L810 (June 2012) and HATE IT. My shots are always blurry, whether I use a tripod or just hold the camera. Outdoors, the colors are rich and lush. Inside, the photos are grainy and too warm in tone. The zoom never wants to focus at full zoom; sometimes the shutter won't engage. I frequently miss shots because of those two reasons. The flash is either Auto or Off -- many times the flash doesn't even go off, even though I know I'm in a low light situation. I've tried different settings (all preset, no manual controls) and nothing seems to help.

I was looking at a Canon Powershot SX500 as a replacement. I hate to spend the money (my budget was around $200 when I bought the Nikon; this camera runs about $250) but I'm so unhappy with the Nikon (I have only owned Kodaks before this).

Can anyone help with what I should do here? Would the Canon be a better camera or would it be about the same and I'd be in the same boat that I am now? Thanks.

Powershot SX500: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Canon---PowerShot-SX500-16.0-Megapixel-Digital-Camera---Black/6364218.p?skuId=6364218&id=1218731589757
It's possible I misunderstood what the definition of what a "bridge camera" really was -- I don't remember the exact reason why I thought it was. I knew the price was too good to be true. I would like to know why lower megapixels result in better photos. Thanks for the information.



Answer
The trouble with buying a cheap camera is that you usually do have to expect some compromises in regards to image quality and performance. The Nikon L810 is...NOT a bridge camera. What made you think it was one? Most likely, because it looks like one. In reality it's just a very basic point and shoot camera with a telephoto zoom lens. It has NO manual controls (no aperture and/or shutter priority modes) so it's only point and shoot. Also, from all the image samples and reviews I've seen of it, image quality is far from impressive.

The SX500 IS is a compact camera with a 30X optical zoom lens, but it's not a bridge camera. It will definitely produce better quality images than the L810 (but not overly better). In it's favour...it does have full manual controls (aperture and shutter priority modes). This allows you to set your aperture and/or shutter speeds if you wish (all bridge cameras also have this). However, it has a very POOR battery life of only about 195 shots per full charge, so you'd need to charge frequently (before the start of each shooting day).

I recommend (if it's at all possible) that you stretch you budget a bit further if you want a better camera. For example, the Powershot SX50 HS or SX40 HS (both of these are bridge cameras).
They each have 12MP and the latest Digic 5 processor.
The SX500 IS has 16MP and the older, Digic 4 processor.
For better image quality, it's better to have less MP, not more...and that's why the SX50 HS and SX40 HS produce better image quality (the newer processor also adds to improved IQ).
Also to their advantage...BETTER battery life (315 shots, SX50 HS and 380 shots for the SX40 HS). They also have a fully articulated LCD screen that flips out and around and they also record movies in Full HD (1920 x 1080). The SX500 IS records movies in HD (1280 x 720).

The obvious downside to you...they cost more than your budget allows and they weigh a bit more.
Best Buy currently has the newer model SX50 HS on sale for $400 and the older model, SX40 HS for $430.

Walmart...is selling the SX50 HS for $400...BUT the SX40 HS is only $329. The SX500 IS is around $250. I think it's definitely worth paying an extra $80 to get a much better camera...
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Canon-PowerShot-SX40-HS-Black-12.1MP-Digital-Camera-w-35X-Optical-Zoom-with-8GB-SD-Card/20710453

But, if your budget won't stretch this far, then the SX500 IS should be just fine as long as you accept it's shortcomings and also take it's poor battery life into account. You would also need an SDHC memory card. You could use the one from your Nikon, as long as it's fast enough (Class 10 SDHC is best). You would also need to FORMAT it in your new camera (via the Menu).

Good luck...

for a 8.1 megapixel camera, nikon s210?




birmingham


how big of a memory card do i need in order to take long videos?


Answer
Ideally, the bigger is better, But if your camera is old, it may not be able to take the biggest, such as the 16 gb sd cards...

Most likely your camera when recording at 30 frames per second, at the standard resolution of 320x240 will record between 1 and 1.5 mb/second. So a 500ish mb card will last about 10 minutes..

Get a 2 gb card and that should last about an hour of continous recording. Just remember to compress the video on your computer into mpeg4 because your camera will not compress for you.

Why do more expensive cameras have lower megapixels?

16 megapixel camera nikon
 on Nikon COOLPIX S8200 16.1 MP Digital Camera - White 0018208924622 ...
16 megapixel camera nikon image



Nazif


I was in an electronics store today looking at cameras. The £59.99 Nikon S3200 camera had 16 megapixels while the £118.97 Canon Power shot SX230 had 12.1 megapixels. I know there are other features, like CMOS, which compensate for the lower megapixels and overall make the picture quality better. But I just wondered why a lot of higher priced cameras seem to have somewhat lower megapixels.


Answer
More megapixels does not mean better pictures. This is a marketing myth. It can mean more detail, but in practice it doesn't usually even mean that. To get more megapixels onto the same sized sensor, each pixel has to get smaller. That means it is less reactive to light, so less effective in low light levels.

Unfortunately people got used to the lie that more megapixels means better pictures back in the days when the difference between 2MP and 3MP really did make a difference. The truth is that anything over 10MP is enough.

The things which make a camera cost more are things like lens quality, reaction times, fastest shutter speeds, LCD size, and a load of other factors. Manufacturers just keep increasing the MP count to make people think they are getting a better deal when in fact they aren't.

Once you go over 10MP the only things that makes much difference are lens quality and sensor size - and you pay a lot more for a large sensor camera. Most other things are just marketing fluff.

Digital zoom is another example - completely useless because it's the same thing as cropping your picture on a computer, but manufacturers insist on quoting ever inflated figures to make you think you are getting something better.

What relationship does megapixel rating have with image quality?




Jared


Hi,
I am about to purchase my first DSLR, and I am noticing that nikon has a 24 megapixel (D3200) for 550 dollars at my best buy. Their better and more expensive model, however, only has a 16 megapixel rating (D5100.) Cannon also has options... with a slightly higher megapixel rating and a slightly better camera as you go down the line. How worried should I be about megapixel rating? I won't really ever be printing over 11x14's.
With a higher Megapixel rating, Will that provide the ability to print a larger image without seeing the fuzzy dots that make up the digital image? Does image quality in a more expensive camera sometimes trump a large megapixel number in a cheaper camera?
Thanks a heap.
www.jaredcravens.com



Answer
megapixels are not a measure of image quality.

the marketing teams of camera companies push the numbers higher and higher only to sell cameras.

Don't fall for the large print myth. People here give advice as if everyone were going to print up big billboard photos.

12-16MP is enough for anybody not making money selling large gallery prints.

When you add pixels, you must pay a price, there is no free lunch. The 3200, 5200 and 7100 take a hit in low light at high ISO vs a lower pixel count sensor. So you have to weigh the feature set of each camera, along with the image sensor.

Lastly, don't fall for anyone posting links to DxOmark.com. Those up front numbers don't tell the truth, you have to dig into the data to get the real performance of the image sensor. The D3200 sensor, when you see the real numbers, is no better than the old D3000.

The real champs when it comes to APS-C image sensors, when you see the real data are the Fuji X100 and the Pentax K5 II.

Shoot in RAW format, keep your ISO low, and with 16 MP, you can go really big if you need to.

16 megapixel camera nikon image



mikethecab


I would like to get her a lens, or flash for Xmas, but I don't know anything about cameras at all. My GF has a Nikon - D5100 16.2-Megapixel DSLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens, and I am trying to get her a new lens, that is around the 200-300 price range. I don't know what to look for in a lens, but at least for her camera to be able to zoom 25-50 ft, rather than the lens she has on it now. Either that, or a Flash that is attachable that would be used to light up dark rooms, or night. Can someone shoot me links, or something to help me get a view of something?


Answer
In your price range the 55-200 mm VR will be a good one. With it she will be able to shoot sports, action and some wildlife.

A good used Nikon flash like the Nikon SB600 will cost just over $200, but unless she shoots a lot of events, the lens will be more useful

Here is a list of all the lenses available for the D5100. Just look at the AF-S lenses so she can shoot using auto-focus

Is a Kindle Fire or a Nikon camera better to own?




Jeanie


I am debating between a Kindle Fire or a Nikon COOLPIX 16 Megapixels 6x Opt zoom with a 2.7 LCD screen. Both the Kindle Fire and the Nikon camera are really great, but I don't know which electronic would be better to have. This may be a dumb question but I would like to know!


Answer
I prefer that you go for the kindle fire since it has more features, the bigger screen and you can enjoy a lot of things like:

- You can watch movies
- Tv shows
- Internet browsing
- Book reading
- Magazines
- Over 18K Apps
- Facebook, twitter, youtube etc.

While the coolpix would only allow you to get the videos and pictures which is totally based on your preference. If you like it than get it!

Here I found a good review on kindle fire:
