Good digital camera ?

Just saw this camera at Best Buy and think it is a great camera and a best buy. It has an optical viewfinder, image stabilizer, auto focus, and uses NiMH rechargeable batteries. Read as much of the following as you can for other information and help with choosing a camera.
Canon A590IS $149.99 at Best Buy store yesterday.

There is no one particular place to get great buys, but you may see something above that really helps you find the best buy. Click on the link in the information above for an example then search for your camera of choice at the upper left. Camera prices at this link change often.

While most of the cameras out there are really good, I would choose Canon over Nikon because it seems like more camera for the money. Some would say Canon withholds their best technology for high end cameras and Nikon implements their best at all levels. Before you decide, read all the text and links in the information below because it will help you know what to look for in a camera.

There are so many cameras out there it is difficult to say which is best, but digital is definitely the way to go. The second source link will be very helpful as it list most of the cameras out there with prices. The following information should help you know what to look for in a camera.

What gives a camera its picture quality?
The short answer is that it is mostly the skill of the photographer that produces high quality pictures. The lens and camera are very important, but the ability to set the scene, adjust the cameras settings, and hold the camera very still or use a tripod with auto or remote shutter actuation when required is what gets the great pictures.

In new cameras, look for optical viewfinders (LCD invisible in bright sun) and check battery prices. High mega pixel settings take longer to process and may not be needed unless required for very large pictures or enlarging small parts of big pictures. Maximum print size for a 3 mega pixel setting is 8 x 10 inches.

The information about my camera is just to show that you don't need the biggest and best. Just know how to use the one you have.

My camera has 5.2 mega pixel, but I use 3 most of the time because it gives great results, is faster, and takes less memory. Also, it only has a 3 x optical zoom and 7 x digital zoom. I never use the digital zoom because making pictures larger works better on the computer. This is an old camera, but everyone is impressed with the quality pictures it takes ... like magic.

Check with the Geeks in several stores and compare prices. Ask what cameras they own, but don't believe everything you hear. Once you select a camera read all about it in the owner's manual. Just learned that my camera has red-eye prevention and correction. It also has adaptive lighting. You may be able to view owners manuals at this link, but will need to Login. http://www.retrevo.com/s/digital+camera ...

The source links will show most of the cameras out there with prices and help make your digital cameras work better.

I want to take video with sound!!! and photos thats pretty much it but i want the photos to come out good. I already heard that this camera is the best in the sun rather than at night which is fine ...
thats all i know.. about it ..

Answer
10 megapixels is more than most amateur photographers will ever need.

Most "point-and-shoot" cameras take excellent pictures with some limitations. The biggest problem is that the small lenses do not capture as much light as a single lense reflex (SLR) camera. The less light, the poorer the picture.

A 4 megapixel SLR will take better pics with a decent lense than a 10 megapixel point-and-shoot.

It all depends on what you're looking to do. For most people, point-and-shoot digital cameras are quite acceptable. And they're getting better all the time.

Photography: Do cameras matter?

MR.Pie

From 2007, my dad purchased a Sony Alpha 100a. One of the first Sony DSLRs made.

From then, ive fell in love with photography. Today, I still use the same very 100a. I really want a Canon 7d, and etc, but its so over priced.

My question is, does cameras really matter? I feel like no matter what, it depends on the person, not the camera.

Answer
While the skill of the photographer is key, the quality and functionality of the camera plays a very big part.

Whether the camera is a twenty dollar point and shoot, or a three thousand dollar medium format film camera, the equipment still needs someone to set it up and operate it. A skilled photographer can take that cheap instrument and come up with some beautiful images and, a random four year old child might not get even ONE good image from that three thousand dollar camera.

But, here's the thing: Photographers, whether professional or amateur don't spend LOTS of money on equipment just because it costs more. They spend the money because the camera can DO more, and, in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, produces much better results. More expensive cameras have features thal allow greater flexibility in poor conditions, such as low light, bright light, fast motion or even slow subject motion. They will have features that can be added such as remote controls, interchangable lenses and, most important, GOOD quality, precision parts, including better lenses. (shop around and you will see that lenses actually cost more than most camera bodies)

This is true whether discussing film or digital cameras. I don't know the specific camera models you mention, but greater megapixels and screen resolutions mean better quality prints in large sizes. For some purposes, that may mean a LOT towards the ultimate use of the print. So, your term "over priced" is subjective. If your Sony Alpha is "good enough" for your purposes, then it makes no sense to spend any more money. But for someone who needs the capabilities of the Canon, it may make more sense to spend every dime of it.

Look at it this way, if you had never had access to your dad's Sony, would you be satisfied, today, with the same passion for photography, if you were using a one megapixel, off brand camera purchased at a truck stop convenience store or bait shop?

I want a new Camera? Preferably with a Remote!?

Sunshin

I want a new camera to film my youtube videos on and I would like a good quality one with a remote control. I don't have good editing software and thats why I want the remote. HELP!

Answer
The Canon Rebel T3i takes the consumer level dSLR a couple steps closer to the mid-level Canon 60D with the addition of the rotating rear LCD screen, remote flash firing, and in-camera processing features. The already highly competent, older Rebel T2i already shared many important features with the 60D (and even features of the semi-pro 7D) including the 18 MP sensor, 63-zone exposure metering system, high ISO performance, HD movie capabilities, and Digic 4 image processor. With these new upgrades, it might make it even more difficult to choose between them. But there are some important differences.
