Best digital cameras

ZoeBartlett Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,879 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 12/29/2006	I'd like to finally join the digital age and buy a digital camera. I'm not sure what features would be worth considering, but a MUST is that it's easy to use. What brand would you recommend and why? Thanks in advance!

I currently have a Sony Cybershot 7.0 mp, it takes great photos but the shutter delay is very frustrating. I would go with a Nikon for my next one. Iwanna x (IWPO) *****Status: MARRIED!!!!*****

I just realized that while I was going to get the Canon SD700 IS I can get the SD800 IS and stay in my budget! Yay! ______________________________________________ "It's hardest to love the ordinary things, she said, but you get lots of opportunities to practice." Storypeople

strmrdr Ideal Rock Total Posts: 23,296 Last Post: 10/9/2009 Member Since: 11/1/2003	on the low end the canon 570IS is a lot of bang for the buck. on the high p&s range the canon s5IS rules. out of the very small cameras the Fuji FinePix F31fd kicks butt http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilmf31fd/page11.asp If it didn't use xD-Picture Cards it might be the top overall best choice for most people. ...........

lumpkin Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,491 Last Post: 2/29/2008 Member Since: 5/24/2005	These were taken with my Canon Powershot S3. I love it. I'm not a terribly experienced photographer and I take better pictures with it than my husband, and he IS an experienced photographer. It's definitely the camera, LOL! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Opinions are like belly buttons.

It's not very crispy clear (didn't have a tripod with me), but it's kind of cool how the fireworks were so bright that they lit the cars parked in the field. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Opinions are like belly buttons.

Aloros Ideal Rock Total Posts: 872 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 5/3/2006	I have a pentax. I can't remember the model number, but it's a waterproof model. I remember it was around $200, 6 megapixels, very reasonably priced. I LOVE it. I love being able to take it to the pool, go snorkeling, traveling, and not worrying about it getting wet. It's very durable and has suffered some banging up without any ill effects. Great if you like a little adventure.

I have the same camera - I find the shutter speed to be adequate. There are times when I wish it were faster, but I've had cameras with a faster shutter and most times I ended up with blurry photos. This never happens with the canon! I'll take the slightly slower shutter for clear, crisp pictures any day .

Tacori E-ring Ideal Rock Total Posts: 16,086 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 8/15/2005	Thanks Danielle. I want a new digital but figure with a baby it might be best to have a faster shutter speed. Hmmm...guess I will have to research it!

diamondsrock Ideal Rock Total Posts: 964 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 5/5/2005	has anyone tried the nikon d40? It's somewhat new but looks really good. They are doing a lot of marketing on this camera. I am intrigued... Practice an attitude of gratitude!

Mara Ideal Rock Total Posts: 27,911 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 10/30/2002	hmm tacori i never thought about the shutter speed really. i guess it's good, i do take a lot of pictures of portia and she can't hold a pose for very long and i manage to get some shots. i think you can also read reviews online, i want to say the website is dlpreview.com or something like...they have all types of stats on the cameras and would imagine they'd show shutter speed comparisons etc etc. my camera also has a continuous snapping tool which i don't think i have ever really used but if i keep my hand on the button it just keeps snapping the photos as well. ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

aljdewey Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,236 Last Post: 2/11/2008 Member Since: 11/25/2002	My preference is the newly released Canon SD850 IS. It's the successor to the SD700 IS. The SD850 IS goes up to ISO 1600, so I think it's totally fine for what you want. The Canon S3 is nice, but I felt the macro mode was inferior....couldn't seem to get the same kind of popping diamond shots with it that I do with the SD700/SD850. _____________________ Note: Chainsaw Not Sold Separately.

It's dpreview.com, and, yeah, they were most helpful when I bought my first digicam. They also have an extremely active forum, though it's certainly harder to wade through than this one!

Pandora II Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,257 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 8/3/2006	I bought FI the Canon 400d which is amazing. I am really impressed and it's pretty easy to use (and cheaper than the similar Nikon) The additional lenses are pricey though (and you will want them eventually, trust me!) I have a little Nikon Coolpix which is fine for holiday/party snaps but not great for bling or serious photos.
