Despite what some critics say, modern science and technology do have their advantages. Photography is one of the many fields that benefited from its advancements. In the old days, photographers used actual bulbs for camera flash. Only photographers carry cameras because lugging them around is not really fashionable at that time. Discoveries and development of cameras produced the digital camera, wherein taking pictures is not so cumbersome anymore. It is less expensive because you can see the images before printing them so you could choose what to actually print. The images could also be uploaded to your computer for storage and further manipulations. These days, it not unusual to carry a compact digital camera. Its perfect for capturing those random wacky moments with your friends.

The only problem it seems is finding a cheap digital camera. Can you even find one? Because of the features that are offered by digital cameras, they are often costly. That is enough to make any person have second thoughts about buying one. But for someone who considers photography a passion, affordability is relative. You just have to set a budget before buying a camera. You can find a cheap digital camera that is just right for you if you look hard enough. Do not buy one that is more than you can afford, even if it has a lot of features. Make sure that you can actually use these features so that you can get your moneys worth.

Consider your lifestyle and your objectives. Do you plan to spend a lot of time taking pictures or do you just want something small that can fit in your bag? If you are still a beginner, do not buy a high-end professional camera just for the assurance of image quality and zoom performance. Instead, buy a cheap digital camera that is compact but has powerful features and easy to carry around. Explore the basics before cashing out on expensive professional cameras.

Of course, you also need to look into the features of your camera. Check the megapixels, zoom capability, image quality, type of media and battery. These are actually features that digital cameras highlight in advertisements.

- Megapixels -They are not the be-all and end-all of digital cameras. Salespeople like to throw this information to you because it promises clearer images. But this is just one factor that comprises your digital camera. You have to check the megapixels quality. Most image sensors can only find certain hues like red, blue and green. They cant detect all three at the same time.

- Zoom Capability - The zoom capability is another feature which you might want to match with your needs. You have seen advertisements like 10x digital zoom or 5x zoom capability. While it is true, advertisers often forget to highlight optical zoom, which is actually more important. The difference is that with digital zoom, your image gets broken into small pixels if you enlarge it on your computer. If your camera has high optical zoom, you would not see pixelated images if you enlarge the image.

- Image quality - Check the quality of your image after you take a picture. Is it fuzzy or pixelated? Sharpness of colors is very important.

- Type of Media - This is the memory of your digital camera. Find a memory card or stick that is compatible with your other equipment so it is easier to upload your images.

- Type of Battery - See to it that your cheap digital camera does not require expensive batteries or that it allows rechargeable batteries.

These points would help you decide on what kind of cheap digital camera to buy. Like what was mentioned earlier, affordability is relative for the passionate photographer. Find your niche by choosing the best but cheap digital camera.

what kind do you have and what do you like about it?

why cant they combine the two? or make an attachment? does it have something to do with how the information is save since (i think) IPOD info is transfered from an existing location while pictures need to be done faster?

And why?

when and which should i use?

i have a polaroid pdc 3150 and am looking for a manual and cd rom for it.

i have a nikon coolpix camera ..and i cant figure out how to get my pics back and white? how do i?

Where would be the best place to buy a canon rebel digital xti. We have tried online stores, and I think they are all crooks…including expresscamera.com and many others. I want to find a refurbished body only for under $650. Can someone please help?
I also need it to have a full US Canon warranty.

i am going to be getting my first DSLR soon. however i don’t have thousands of dollars, so i want to buy a reasonably cheap one… I’ve narrowed it down to the Rebel Xti (Canon EOS 400D), and Pentax’ K200D, but i can’t decide…
where i live they sell them both for $500-$700, and that’s ok, i’ve seen some really nice photos from the Canon, but i’m attracted to the Pentax because of its in-camera shake reduction and water resistance.
but i also like the self-cleaning dust-removing thing on the Canon. I’ve seen on websites and ads for the Pentax that it’s got a dust removal system, but i can’t really find much about it, is this true? is it the same sort of thing as in the Canon??
it’s mainly image quality that i like, and i know pentax doesn’t have superior image quality, but i love Pentax cameras…
thanks,
also, for anyone who has had either of these cameras, some positives or negatives you have that might be helpful?? thanks again.

I want the price range of digital cameras in 8 mega pixel range.
I need specification of only Canon, Nikon and Kodak companies with their Indian price tag.
Also suggest the best one….

What’s a good lense to use with Fuji digital SLR cameras? I’m thinking of getting the S3 Pro. I definitely want an autofocus. I need a powerful zoom or anything. My priority (after autofocus) is color accuracy.

i have a canon eos rebel xt camera, with a standard 35-85 mm camera. I found a fish eye lense that said its compatable with a filter sizes of 58 mm standard lens thread. I dont know what that means. is my camera compatable with this lens, or do i need to buy some time of other thing with it to make it compatable?

Sony DSC-T700 and Sony DSC-T770

I’m talking around the $200-$400 price range.

I am looking for an upscale SLR DSC to replace Canon Rebel XT, should I buy Canon XTi or 30D or 40D ?
I need both body and lense such as 28-135mm as a minimal requirement.

I’m starting a GCSE photography course in September, so I have just bought a Canon Rebel XTi (400D) and I know nothing, zero, zip, zilch about lenses. The lens my dad advised me to buy, as he used to be a photographer, was an 35-80mm zoom lens, just as a starter. I was wondering what would be the best lenses to capture things such as
-Landscapes
-Wildlife
-Close-up portraits.
Any more lens advice would be greatly appreciated too, thanks!

They’re expensive in Sri Lanka. I can buy one for more than double the price in Colombo or I can wait until I arrive at Chennai airport and buy one there.
Also, does Chennai have cheap Lonely Planet travel guides? In Vietnam you could buy one for a couple of bucks on the street.

This is the question we all ask ourselves when first thinking of purchasing a digital camera. What you need to ask yourself is what are you looking for in a camera?

Now that you have made the decision to get involved in digital photography, it is time to decide on the camera that suits your needs. Today, you can choose from many types of cameras as well as name brands.

Some of the cameras on the market today include the AF SLR Series, Digital Compacts, Film Compacts, Direct Vision, etc. Cameras include features such as built in camcorders as well as cameras inside phones. It is amazing what you can find on the market today when looking for a digital camera?

There are a variety of articles on the internet about the choices you can have when looking for either film or digital compact cameras so today I want to focus on Direct Vision Cams along with a few other models. If you are new to digital cameras you may want to look at the line of direct vision cameras offered by Leica. Most of the direct vision action cameras offer high quality pictures with very little noise.

Looking at a few 35mm, which is commonly utilized by photographers in different models, we will consider the Range Finders. This model or its like has a variety of features including the viewfinder, battery compartment, self-timer, rangefinder, rewind crank, rewind button, lens, PC socket, film speed dial, and so on.

The rangefinder is works to restore viewfinders center images overlaying in the camera. Self-timers are obviously handy for instructing the camera at what time is proper to go off. Some only have a few seconds to time a picture.

Many of the direct vision cameras have hot-shoes, shutter speed dial, wind-on levers, frame counters, and shutter release buttons. Some cameras are more optional than others for the pros in the field of digital photography.

Other varieties of cameras include the Mega-Pixel Camcorders, Large Formatting Cams, Instant Cams, Imaging Phones, and Hasselblad XPans 2 and so on. Please recognize that cameras which come included with a mobile phone are not necessarily the best cameras for photography however in most cases you are able to transfer them to your computer. Camera phones are great when you are on the road taking photos and want to put them on your computer quickly. Bluetooth phones are one of the most popular phones on the market today.

Another option is mega-pixel phone camcorders which are great if you want to create web pages or home movies. Unfortunately these produce lower quality videos which takes them out of the running for creating high productions. It is still quite hand for making movies and playing them back. Most are the size of an Ipod which is incredible when you think of the built in features.

Today you will not find too many professional photographers using instant cameras. At one time most used the familiar Polaroid camera which was one of the most popular cameras on the market. Since there were no photo developing costs there were quite popular with professional as well as amateur photographers. This factor alone was my primary reason for using Polaroid. Enthusiasts of instant cameras can use Fuji?s Instax camera which has taken the place of Polaroid.

Hasselblad has a 35mm camera that is popular. The camera was originally designed by Fuji and can easily switch to a panoramic mode of shot. Hasselblad is an incredible camera and puts you in mind of old-modern technology cameras, since it does more than its history defines. By now we have looked at a variety of the cameras available on the market as well as the accessories available and it is now up to you to decide which will best meet your needs.

What are your goals? What are your intentions? Do you need high-resolution or low-resolution? Are you in the spy business, or in amateur photography?

The technology behind today?s digital camera is all about the concept of small. The use of technology has caused our world to speed up and in this fast pace people want their gadgets to be accessible. Digital cameras are not the exception to the rule. This desire for accessibility is the major factor behind the birth of a compact edition of digital cameras.

One of the most revolutionary discoveries might arguably be digital technology in the field of photography. Digital technology has changed the world of photography by giving the consumer high quality images with limited cost. Today?s compact digital cameras are smaller in size and have more features than their counterparts. Another argument can be made that compact digital cameras are actually a step ahead of digital SLR cameras or any other camera available on the market today.

Compact digital cameras are roughly 3.5 W x 2.5 H x 1.0 D. Depending on the type, the model and the brand of your compact digital camera these dimensions can vary a little. The ideal compact digital camera must have the certified label of Jeanspocket on it. These compact cameras are so compact that you can literally keep it in the pocket of your jeans, comfortably. The ability to do this is the newer striking criterion added to the compact digital cams by the fast generation of today.

The entire concept behind these compact digital cameras is that they make photography fast and simple without any discomfort due to their large size.

Apart from size these cameras offer many other incredible features. Typical features of compact digital cameras include multiple scenes, optical zooms, exposure modes and other handy functions. It is important to note that some compact digital cameras, having 11 mm or less diagonal sensors make fairly low noise at ISO 100. However, at ISO 400 and above, the noise of the camera can be quite bothersome. There are a few compact digital cameras that are so small to look at, that they demand a close look from those who wish to buy them.

Most compact digital cameras come with a $200 to $500 price tag. You will find similar amazing functions and features among all brands. Most of the sensor resolutions vary from 3.0 to 8.0 mega pixels. The ultra-compact models are virtually the size of a credit card. At under an inch thick they still include incredible features as high-resolution sensors. Some of the more advanced controls include features such as multiple AF zones, manual settings and sophisticated scene modes.

It would be short sighted of me to not include the drawbacks of compact digital cameras as well as the benefits. Since sensitivity is calculated through ISO, the ISO range of a compact digital camera varies between ISO 50 and 400. SLR cameras, on the other hand, have ISO values in the range of 100 to1600. Because of this compact digital cameras are less sensitive than digital SLR cameras.

There have been vast improvements in the field of compact digital cameras, as opposed to digital SLR cameras. The best bet is to figure out your needs after looking at the pros and cons for each type of camera.

I’ve got a Nikon Coolpix S610 on order. Under accessories on the Nikon site, there is a leather case listed that shows a snap on lens. But I don’t see any description. http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/…
Any information about this camera specifically or these lenses in general would be appreciated.

Can anyone tell me how to set the size of the pictures for passport picture format? Does it need to be done in the camera or in picture software? My camera is canon powershot A620 and I use Mac. Thank you.

I purchased the Canon Digital Rebel XSi w/ the kit lens (18-55mm IS). The lens is good because it has image stabilization. The only issue is, i feel like it limits me. Which lens should i invest in? i am new to dslr. i am willing to spend more if it is going to last me forever and worth the money. Is it better to buy from a third party or straight from canon? Is there a lens that does it all? I am really lost when it comes to choosing the right lens for my needs. I enjoy all types of photography. Indoor, outdoor, landscapes portraits, macro & sports. I just have no clue which lens i should invest in that will help me obtain the best images possible!

I’m looking for a casio camera at an affordable price, but there are just too many sites that it is hard to narrow down my search.

Im thinking of getting a canon rebel Xt, and the feature i would like would to be able to take pictures of action, non blurred, clear pictures. Ex. skateboarding jumps, grinds, tricks, and all that. Would i need to buy improved lenses or can I use the ones that come with it??

i want to buy a new cam

i am wanting to buy a camera and i am wondering if the canon XSI rebel (450D) is a good camera (it is my first camera) thanx

to this. I would like to post some questions. first of all the filters they have for the lense, do they make a big difference. one is ultraviolet and the other polarized. the polarized one looks like a sunglass to me so what does that do to your pictures? also being that i am an amateur, which lense should i buy first, which do you experts use the most. my guess was the zoom, but i thought i should ask first. the guy at the store didnt have alot of answers.any other tips are greatly appreciated. is there any good books to help me. I bought adobe photo elements also, now i guess it’s time to test drive it. manual or auto for the amateur?

i am looking for one that takes really good pictures and takes videos

I’m getting into the SLR camera thing… an really exited. I confused on what to do. I purchased a Canon XTI with lens and Canon 300d(won bought so have to pay for them) plan to take human portraits, I 1st thought I should go with something a bit old and less expensive, I thought why buy something expensive when there would be so many features I won’t use on it, and waste of money. Which one u recommend for a bigginer photographer. My other camera choices were nikon d40x, nikon d80. whats lens for taking pictures of amateur models?

do they take pictures like a normal camera too? i wonder because i need both a video camera and digital camera if it all comes in one? like a button that’ll take a pic when not recording? and what is one of the good quality yet not too expensive digital video cameras? thanks

When thinking of purchasing a digital camera it is easy to become confused when faced with the myriad choices available on the market today. The best way to face this decision is to ask yourself what features or functions of the digital camera are important to you.

Now that you have made the decision to get involved in digital photography, it is time to decide on the camera that suits your needs. Today, you can choose from many types of cameras as well as name brands.

Some of the cameras include the AF SLR Series, Digital Compacts, Film Compacts, Direct Vision, and so forth. You can purchase cameras today with camcorders built-in for small movie projects, or cameras that include a phone. What more could you ask for in a camera?

There are a variety of articles on the internet about the choices you can have when looking for either film or digital compact cameras so today I want to focus on Direct Vision Cams along with a few other models. If you are new to digital cameras you may want to look at the line of direct vision cameras offered by Leica. Most of the direct vision action cameras offer high quality pictures with very little noise.

Looking at a few 35mm, which is commonly utilized by photographers in different models, we will consider the Range Finders.

Unfortunately these produce lower quality videos which takes them out of the running for creating high productions. It is still quite hand for making movies and playing them back. Most are the size of an Ipod which is incredible when you think of the built in features.

Instant cameras are obviously not a choice for photographers, unless you have a quickie in mind. The old Polaroid was at one time one of the most popular cameras. The camera had several models, which pro photographers could use easily, yet it took the sport out developing. At least this is what I felt. Fuji now has an instax camera that has taken the place of Polaroid.

The Hasselblad model is a 35mm cam. The cam originated from Fuji lines, and would switch easily to a panoramic mode of shot. The camera kind of puts you in mind of old-modern technology cameras, since it does more than its history defines. Well, now we have reviewed a variety of cameras, several accessories to enhance cameras, I guess now it is time to decide which camera is best suited for your needs.

What will you use your camera for? What are your plans for the photos? Will you want larger or smaller prints? Is it your desire to become a professional photographer or will you be happy to stay in the amateur arena?

Hi,
I am going to Hong Kong this month and want to buy a new digital camera. I have my eye on the Sony T200 (Black) and wanted to check out the prices online to compare to UK prices. I know that you usually have to haggle with the shop owners in Hong Kong, but want to get an idea of prices to see whether it is worth me buying it there.
Thank You in advance Guys!

I am about to buy a Canon Rebel XT (not the XTi) and I need to buy lenses for it. I would like to buy 1-2 lenses that cover from around 18-300 mm, and the price cannot exceed $400, a little less will be better. Here is what I plan to use the camera a lot for:
1. Sports photos. This includes indoor sports (basketball) and outdoor sports.
2. Scenery/Landscape photos
3. Some indoor photographs (such as historic buildings, catherdrals, etc.)
I may use the camera some for portraits or people-centered pictures, but this is not my main focus.
I am confused as to what f/stops I should be looking for on my lenses. If anyone can make some suggestions, that would be great. If you want to recommend a brand, thats fine, but don’t waiste your time trying to convicne me to buy a different camera.

I’m looking for a compact digital camera which takes CF cards as I’ve got a pile of them for my digital SLRs - don’t really want to have to buy SD cards if possible

I am not in new york, but I order all of my digital cameras and equipment from adorama which is in new york. you may want to check them out. b&h is there also. both really good stores.

I got a pink insignia NS-DSC7P09(even tho that mite not matter) but im wondering can it become a webcam because most cameras i hav had be4 could but this 1 is kinda difficult so…

ranging from $100- $300
i need help… i don’t know anything about them!

Is anyone selling one? It’s a choice between the Nikon d40 or the Canon Rebel xti. I think as the Nikon is cheaper it would be best for now, but I think the Canon would serve me better in the long run. Which would you buy? And depending on your choice, can you find anywhere that is selling one for a good price? My maximum (reallllll maximum) is like 285 pounds.
Or, on the other hand, what other cameras would you recommend, preferably for ‘the long run’? And can you find any at this price, WITH a lens?
Thank youuuuu :D

Hello, I bought a Canon Rebel XTi with out the lense. Which one would you recommend? I need something that would work good upclose (6 feet) and further away (30 feet to 40 feet). Don’t want 2 lenses, but do want great price. Thank you….

For instance, the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT.

Any camera comes pretty much ready to take a tolerable quality picture, but most cameras have loads of options so you can get the picture you want. It’s a matter of how easy is it for you to find those options. I’ve been happy with my Fujifilm Finepix F10, but I knew what I was looking for. You should probably go to a store that has digital cameras on hands-on display and play with the buttons so you can see which one makes sense to you.

I have a Canon Av-1 and I wanted to know if I bought a rebel if the lens would fit it on it.

As far as I know, as many as you like (for you own personal use).
However if you turn up with a suitcase full of cameras in unopened boxes, Indian Customs might well decide you intend to resell them and charge you Import Duty (don’t know what it is these days but in the old days they charged 100% on ‘high tech’ goods).

Somehow the screen of my camera is like smashed. When i turn it on, all i can see are cracks in my screen. i can’t even see the thing i am taking a picture of. i don’t know how it did it, but i dont really have to money to buy a new one. is there anyway i can fix it without paying?

Looking for one that will take an hour or two worth of decent video too. Thanks anyone.

I heard they’re really good, but not sure what to get. I don’t need more than 10 megapixels because I heard MP is overrated anyway, but I want at least 6 or 7 MP. I also don’t want to spend more than $150. What should I get? Thanks

Hello, I am in the market to buy a new digital camera, any advice? I have heard Nikon or Cannon are the best, but my old camera was HP and I really liked it too. Also, I am looking in the lower to middle price range. Let me know what you think! :)

what is the digital camera with the fastest shutter time? I’m looking for a new camera, what are some good brands? a fast shutter time is REALLY important to me.

i need to purchase an SD for the canon rebel xs that i am going to purchase soon. but which one should i buy??? i am totally new at this and the canon is going to be my first slr so please tell me what i need to purchase!!!
all i know for now is that i need an sd and a card reader.

Does a 58mm Tiffen UV Protection Filter fit on a Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens (the kit lens for Canon Rebel XT)?
If not, what size lens filter/protector should I buy for my 18-55mm lens?

I’m doing some research and so far I haven’t found any useful websites.

D85 is comet’s name for S85

Shaky hands prevent me in taking good pictures. Price should be somewhere in USD200.

my bf tried to explain it to me, but i get confused and no i am not a blonde. he says it just crops off the sides of an image. my gf said it magnifies an image and makes it larger. can someone please explain this. thanks.

Can anyone tell me a good experience they’ve had with a digital camera they bought for a child? All the reviews I read seem to say all digital cameras made for kids are cheaply made, poor quality cameras. Thanks!

I am looking to find the best deal on the Canon Rebel Xsi. I wouldn’t be opposed to buying a lens kit separately, but this is a Christmas gift for my mother and I have no idea what I’m looking for! She will be doing a lot of action pics and portraits. A lot of indoor/outdoor work. I am looking at Amazon.com to buy the camera and a lens kit. Can anyone recommend a package from Amazon?
I am looking at all of the different brands of lenses and focuses and I am sooo lost! PLEASE HELP! Lol! Thanks so much!
Also, do I need a flash?
I don’t want to ask her about it, I want it to be a surprise! If she doesn’t like it she can beat me with it, lol!

Hi, i have a canon camcorder, i don’t know which one exact but it has a detachable lens. I tried putting it on my canon rebel xti but it it was too small. Is their some kind of adapter i can buy so i can put it on my xti?Thanks!

I use mine in my Sony and my friend has just bought a Fuji with the usual small memory stick 16mb. I am going to lend her my spare card but im not sure if they are all standard or not?

I was checking out this camera: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Panasonic… but I don’t know if it’s able to put pictures online. This is the first camera I’m thinking about purchasing and I don’t want to waste money on it.

i am a beginner NOT a pro in photography and want to buy a digital SLR. for now i want to do it for hobby first because i’m in college and busy with studying. i would mostly use it for nature and portrait. i’m not sure what to get: canon rebel xt or canon rebel xti.
the major differences are:
price: xti $800 - xt $600
mp: xti 10mp - xt 8mp
display: xti 2.5″ - xt 1.8″
xti with self-cleaning sensor unit - xt no
and so on…
which one should i get?

I just went to Canon’s site and saw this:http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/contro…
Why would they make a Rebel series camera with 12 megapixels? This seems far better than the 40D besides the fps rate. I’d be pretty pissed if I just bought a 40D. But, since Canon will obviously be releasing this at PMA in a few days, does this mean they probably won’t be releasing a new 5D mark ii/7D? What do you think?
Jake

If it will mount on the dslr, then it will work more or less.

You should get one of thos Kodak “Professional” ones that took forever to start up and had horrible resolution.

My friend has the Pansonic Lumix (and she got it for $250) and it’s simply amazing.
but it’s not an SLR..
i really want a new camera, but it has to be in range of my budget
(less than $350)
i love photography, and taking good-quality pictures
what do you suggest?

Im very beginner for slr cameras. I can afford both but want to know which one do you recommend me better for a beginner. I love to shot moon and moving items. Nature and portraits. So by that being said which one is better?

I have Oregon Scientific DS6310. I want to know about using it.

I know it might be impossible but I am sort of limited on my spending. Please answer with the best ones possible. Also if you can tell me how many pictures it can store. This would be SUCH a help for me! I would like it very much if you can find one at a such place as Walmart, Circuit City, K-Mart, etc. Hopefully you suggest a good one and I can give you the points!! Thanks to all who answer this. Have a GREAT holiday season!!

i want to know which one is better, faster, etc

I realized that eventually I would like to purchase a Nikon D300.. so if I start buying lenses for my less than month old Canon Rebel Xs would be pointless. What Nikon.. equivelentish do I get?
I dont want a D40.. I need something over 10pm and at least 7 Af points. The d60 seems good and all but it only has 3 AF points.
D80 seems similar to the Xs.. but twice the prince $800+.. when mine was on Boxingday sale for $448. So the buy seems pointless im really confused…
Please help me, thank you guys so much in advance.

I will be getting a Canon Rebel XTi and I am trying to keep the cost down which is hard ’cause the camera body costs at least $672. I also need 2 diff. sized lenses. I’m considering purchasing the body and the lenses seperate.
Have you used Tamron brand lenses…does it have the same, better, or worse quality as a similar Canon lens? I’m looking at purchasing the…
-Tamron Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 Aspherical Lens
-Tamron Zoom Telephoto AF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 LD Macro Autofocus Lens
How much should I expect to spend on these lenses? Are they descent enough lenses? How do they compare/contrast to similar Canon lenses? What will this lens allow me to do…will the camera be able to focus by itself, or will I need to twist the lens and push and pull it in and out? Would I still have to do that with a Canon lens too? What does autofocus allow me to do
Do any of you work at Best Buy or Circuit City…when’s the next Rebel XTi sale with the two lenses? lol.

fixed and brought back to new.
they are usually better than a new one -
because the problem is already fixed.

My boyfriend bought me a camera but he won’t tell me what kind, he just said it’s Samsung Pink, can anyone tell me which camera it is?

I recently ordered my first SLR camera - it has not come in yet - and I noticed that the card used was SDHC. I have regular SD cards will that work or do I need to buy a new one?

I just bought a Canon Rebel T2 EOS from Goodwill for $50. It works and everything functions properly. I am very disapointed that my older canon lenses do not fit because CAnon changed the size of the lens mount.
Most if not all Nikkor lenses are interchangable even between 35mm and digital? Why couldnt canon figure this out?

What do you think about these two lenses?
Someone I know is selling them and I wanted to know before hand if it would be a good investment. I own the XTi and am about to buy the 5D…
Canon EOS EF 75-300mm 4-5.6 III Zoom Lens
Canon EF 28-90mm 4-5.6 III

-We’re looking for a kids digicam/cheap digicam that plugs into the tv for my little cousin who’s family has no computer. We can’t really go anymore than 40 bucks because of how many kids we have in our family to buy for.
-I’m also wondering what kind of camera your child has? Do you let them play with yours? How old are they?

some of my friends have got that brand too … but i don’t think they originally make cameras … how can their cameras beat canon , nikon and olympus?

We measure the resolution of digital cameras by the number of pixels of the sensor. Almost all digital cameras have a higher resolution than the SDTV. Most digital cameras comes with a composite video cable and this allows you to view your pictures on the TV. Some new digital cameras have the ability to send HD quality signal to HDTV with a component cable. You can see much more details of your pictures that way.
However, the best way to look at your pictures is to see it from your computer monitor.

Im looking for a camera with slow sync flash because the cheap one I have does horrible with lighting. Online I can’t figure out which types have it and which don’t. Does anyone know?

I’m trying to decide between these two cameras. Canon is about 70 dollars more. I’ve never bought a SLR camera before. Which one is better? I think I might get more life out of the Canon and I can use it longer. For instance, if I wanted to upgrade, I could just get better lenses without getting a whole new camera. Is that right? I need feedback on both of these cameras. Compare and contrast.

what are the 5 basics steps in buying a digital cameras,i prefer ,cannon and sony brand only ,nikon is optional.
