I would like to buy a digital camera, preferably $ 350 (US) or under. The main thing I want is good image quality with crisp focus. I’m just starting photography as a hobby, and being able to focus in very clearly is something I really appreciate. I’m pretty open, brand-wise, although I do like my sister’s Olympus that she has.
I know it’s more about technique, but believe me, it does depend somewhat on the camera. The camera I have right now is absolute crap and will not focus at all.

Answer by photoguy_ryan
What your looking for is more along the lines of being able to use a camera, and not so much a specific camera.

For something in your price range, try http://www.bhphotovideo.com, and do a search for “advanced digital” cameras, or film SLR cameras.

Research their abilitys, and than do another search for pricing and local providers, and go put the cameras into your hand. You want something that feels comfortable, with the dials and buttons in places that feel good.

Edit:::::::::WIthout seeing a pic, its hard to say why your having focus problems. But, honestly, most people that say they are having focus problems are either moving the camera when the shutter is tripped, or are not shooting with enough light to get the camera to set the right focus (assuming your using auto focus). Try using a tripod, and make sure your using your camera’s features within its capabilitys.

Anyway, most of the advanced digital cameras in that search will have more features, to adjust most settings, and have a hotshoe for flash or for off camera flash work. They just dont have interchangeable lenses, like SLR’s, along with some other differences.

Look up Canon S5 IS.

This will be my first digital camera. I don’t know too much about what to buy. All I know is that I want quality with great features. My sister said that now they have the new digital cameras with the camcorders.

I need one that doesn’t break easily. The last one I had was a pink (I don’t like the color pink anymore, btw) polaroid digital camera with 3x optical zoom lens. I had to buy two of these cameras because the first one screwed up and so did the second camera, so do not recommend any polaroid brands.

I want a cheap (0-0), awesome camera to buy myself this christmas, so I’d love it if you had one to recommend:).

Thanks for reading!

Answer by aiikedo
Your best bet would be to go with a Canon point-and-shoot. From reviews and experience, Canon point-and-shoot cameras are probably the best of this kind out there. They’re compact, cheap, and they usually execute good performance.

For your price range I would go with the Canon Powershot SD1300:

http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-Stabilized-2-7-Inch-Silver/dp/B0035FZJKI/ref=sr_1_3?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1291435388&sr=1-3

It has 12.1 megapixels, 4x zoom, image stabilization, and video recording, all in a small easy-to-use camera for around 0.

For any other ideas, just look at the other Canon Powershots. I’m sure they have what you’re looking for.

I’m looking for a Nikon DSLR camera. It’s a major investment and I’m looking for the best price I can get. Is there a time of the year that I’ll find the best deals? I’ll probably be buying either the D40, D60, or D5000. The D90 is probably out of my budget. Thanks for you help.

Best answer:

Answer by tc_an_american
Why not a D70 or D80?
Just asking.

D40′s are a good first DSLR.

Come November you should see some deals coming out in the paper for the D40 up to the D80. I would predict that there will be a big push on the 5000.

im starting college soon and i wanna get a good dslr camera. i was looking at the canon rebel xs. idk though. can anyone help me out?

Best answer:

Answer by Foggy Idea
The XS is an excellent entry level DSLR.. actually any of the entry level cameras are about equal. It becomes a matter of personal preference. When you buy a DSLR you are buying into a whole system of cameras, lenses and accessories, you’ll want to keep that in mind when shopping for a camera.

Go to http://dpreview.com and compare the entry level cameras using the side by side tool, read the reviews and study the sample images. Also, go to the manufacturer’s website and look at the available lenses and Accessories for future growth.

Then when you have narrowed down your selections go to a store and handle the different cameras, try the controls and look at the menus, buy the one which feels right in your hands.

This video shows the steps for installing a GGS brand LCD screen protector for digital cameras. My camera is a Canon 50D. It’s a glass cover designed to keep your LCD screen free from scratches. You’ll also see a before/after comparison on the Canon 50D. The video (and some audio) was shot using a Canon Digital Rebel T1i (500D). The poor-sounding audio was dubbed from a low quality PC mic (sorry!) Check www.nodnarb.net for the full review.
