I'm looking for a nice digital camera under or around $200 for the purpose of blogging (as in wordpress, blogger, etc). I'm trying to get a blog which will be based around the daily photos I take despite the fact that I'm not really a photographer but only doing it for fun. Any cool features like video would also be great but mainly I'm just looking for something I can take quality pictures, and that will hopefully hide my total amateur abilities.

Thanks guys!



Answer
anything 3.2 megapixels or higher will suffice. optical zoom is better than digital zoom.

Better image quality by reducing megapixels on a single shot?

I own a p&s camera. Many of us know, these type of cams have a small sensor, usually 1/1.8 in. The sensor size hasn't varied on many years: starting with 2MP cameras all over the nowawdays 18MP, so, evidently, you can't expect the same image quality jamming more megapixels into the same sensor size.

My camera (Canon SX30) is capable of taking 14MP images, and many reviews state that it has a poor image quality.

So, under any photographers experience: Will I get better images by lowering the picture size? Every camera let you choose the image size: Mine is always at S2, which means shots between 5-to-7MP. Large enough for 13x18 printings and such.



Answer
actually, the 1/1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 sensors are rare, they are only used top end compacts. For the price camera makers ask for them, they are not a good value. 1/2.3 and smaller are more common only because this is how camera makers cheat to get those big zoom numbers. your canon uses the smaller 1/2.3 sensor, it's very tiny.

Reducing the pixel count or image size may hide some noise, but you could achieve the same effect by downsizing the full res images yourself.

you will see no improvement because the image sensor is still small, packed with too many pixels that are far too small. Fuji has experimented with pixel binning and it helps with noise, but it's still just a band-aid.

Do not choose a smaller image size. regardless of what camera you have, shoot at the full resolution, and at the highest quality setting. If you have the option, shoot RAW, I don't think cameras like yours can shoot in RAW format. reduce image size and perform noise reduction yourself if needed.

  1. The Sony DSCW830 is a budget-friendly and one of the best cameras for amateur photographers. This point and shoot camera comes with a 20.1-megapixel sensor and a Zeiss lens (8x optical zoom).
