I really want to buy a good camera and It has to be a compact SLR camera because I have a digital camera that take good pictures, But i really need to take perfect pictures as I am entering a competition for the best camera ranging in prices from £150-£200 because that is the type of camera I want t buy. Please include CONS and PROS thanks!! :) :) :)
I have about 7 years of experience and I mean cameras ;like this (this is one I looked at) http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/r/Fujifilm%20s3200/0_0_0/
Answer
You won't find a DSLR on your budget. This is probably the best compact digital that will fit:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-PowerShot-SX220-Digital-Camera/dp/B004M8S152/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315725422&sr=8-1
The SX220 differs from the more expensive SX230 by the SX230 having a GPS function.
Here are reviews:

The Fujifilm camera you looked at has plumper numbers for megapixels and optical zoom. There is often a price in image quality for having higher pixel density and more optical zoom. The Fuji's AA batteries have advantages and disadvantages. You will need to buy a set of AA NiMH batteries and charger. The Canon SX220 HS will come with a Lithium-Ion NB-5L rechargeable battery & charger in the box, but an extra NB-5L is not cheap.
The Fuji uses sensor-shift stabilization. The Canon uses optical image stabilization. Optical image stabilization usually is more effective.
Compact Canons offer slow exposure times up to 15 seconds. There is a custom self timer up to 30 seconds.

In digital photography who won the battle, CMOS or CCD?
joe f
In the latest generations of DSLRs and even budget level dig cameras which technology has won out, CCD or CMOS and why? Thanks!
Answer
Keerok's right, the technologies are ultimately suited to different applications. This is partially because the manner in which data is read from each is different. There are other considerations like power consumption and the overall plexity of the image processing system behind the sensor that affect the manufacturers' choices.
Most of the larger medium format SLRs are still using CCD sensors and it's argued that this is because of greater dynamic range. It is also said this is done to to help get 30+ megapixels of data to be pushed to the buffer and processed as quickly as possible so the photographer isn't forced to wait several seconds between shots while the camera is still processing an image. I don't know if I buy the latter but, I've seen plenty of evidence supporting the former.
As for most of the 35mm derived DSLR market, it does seem that CMOS has ultimately won that fight for now. I say this only because all of the current models from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, and Sony are using CMOS sensors at this time and it seems many new APS-C format video cameras are using the same sensors in spite of the rolling shutter issues that accompany the use of a single CMOS sensor for video. It seems the big swing started when Nikon finally followed Canon into the full-frame DSLR market with their D3. That was news worthy to be sure but, the D300 they offered at the same time had surprised even Canon with it's high ISO image quality which had long been one of Canon's selling points for their in-house manufactured CMOS sensor. Before 2007 and the introduction of the Nikon D3 and D300; Nikon, Konica-Minolta, Pentax and most other manufacturer were using CCD's manufactured by Sony.
Having said all this, its hard to predict where the next big leap in technology will lead. We could find ourselves going right back to CCDs or something else may come along. I'm not sure that those of us who are into photography for the sake of photography will really care either way because at this point, whether a camera is CCD or CMOS has little if any impact on our work flow. Newer cameras are allowing greater latitude with respect to how much light we need for a good exposure but, the need to sculpt our subject with the most flattering light hasn't changed and I doubt it ever will unless we reach a point where we have honest to goodness holographic cameras. I don't know that anyone viewing this text in 2011 will live long enough to see that.
