dslr camera target image
EricE
I want to hook a camera up to my macbook and fire the shutter directly from the computer. I don't want to spend the money on a DSLR - is there a pocket camera that allows this with a macintosh?
Answer
I have not seen a (lower-end) compact/point-and-shoot digital camera that can be tethered to a laptop and remotely controlled. That doesn't mean, however, they're not available. However--if any non-DSLR cameras have these features, they'll most-likely be available with the higher-end models (many of which, like the Canon Powershot G series aren't really "compact"--although much smaller and lighter than a DSLR).
Now--if you're looking for a low-end budget (and truly "compact") point-and-shoot camera, that you can literally put in your pocket; you may be very hard-pressed to find one that does. Tethering requires additional electronics/programming that many consumers in the budget point and shoot camera target demographic either don't need or don't want to pay for.
You might want to check the product lines of both Nikon and Canon--for starters; because I know (from using them professionally) that their mid- and higher-end DSLRs can be tethered to a computer and be remotely controlled.

Good luck in your quest!

How many Megapixels should a good, modern camera have?
Liam
I'm looking for a new camera, and I wanted to know how many megapixels a good camera would have as I have never bought one. I would like a good one! I will be taking pictures at a concert and on the go, while I go and see places. So could someone please show me in the right direction? Thank you.
Answer
megapixels are not a measure of image quality. It's just a potential for resolution or detail. A higher pixel count will not mean less noise, better color, contrast or dynamic range.
You didn't mention what kind of camera you want, a cheap compact, a compact with a large image sensor or a dSLR?
If you are going for a simple compact, you want the one with the lowest pixel count and that has the features you will actually want/use. The image sensors are so tiny in your run of the mill camera that you would find at Target or Bestbuy, that the image quality actually goes down when the MP goes up.
Camera companies add more to sell more cameras, and their brain washing has worked because you are here asking how much you need. If you are looking at dSLRs or ILC compacts with large sensors, for the most part pixel counts don't matter. The image sensor is so massive compared to the tiny ones used in compacts, it just means nothing.
It has gotten out of hand though, four dSLR cameras ruined by too many pixels, The Nikon D3200, D5200, Sony A65, and A77.
