what kind of digital camera do you own ? Get a Nikon D50. There is no delay between pictures at all and no delay between the time you press the btton and the camera takes the picture. It has a few "consumer friendly" automatic modes that make it very easy to use, but still offers total photographic control when you are ready to take charge. The "kit" lens is a decent lens optically, so it is a good place to start for your stated purposes. When you are ready to add lenses, the sky is the limit with Nikon.
Get a 1 GB memory card, such as the Sandisk "Ultra" for decent write speed. You can get these in the $35 range, after rebates.

I own a Nikon D50, D70s, D200 and a few Nikon Point and Shoot cameras. It's ridiculous...... I like using the Sony Cybershot with 6.0 megapixels.
The buttons and menu options are easy to navigate. There are many choices for resolution, lighting and picture size.
Like many other digital cameras, the Sony Cybershot can also take video, uses two AA batteries, memory stick, and has a wide angle lense.
Check it out and compare it with other digital cameras others may recommend:) Fast Pictures?
It depends upon the budget but if you really like to take several pictures in one second then go for the SLR cameras, and in SLRs I would reccomend NIKON D50 which is the cheapest and easy to use and give a very good quality pictures. hey there...
the best brand of digital cameras r these:
1 - Sony
2 - Canon
3 - Nikon
4 - Olympus
but i'd recommend either SONY or CANON... coz they could b found everywhere & have good prices & after sale services...
also... they're so easy 2 use, & have everything packed with them... & the computer software is cool!
as 4 me... i own a "SONY DSC-S40" digital camera... great thing & so reliable (though alot of newer models r around these days)... but my camera is 1 of the best as far 2 me! :) Bought Cybershot DSC-H2 on Nov 1; still learning the camera. Still learning digital after sort of mastering 35mm with a Nikon for past 35 yrs. Digital seems like a whole new ballgame. I have several cameras both digital and film - Canon, Kodak, Argus, Minolta and I have used several other brands. The cameras I own cover the range from a very old range finder, point and shooters and SLR's. I still use all of them regularly.
If I understand your question correctly you are looking for a camera that powers on quickly, has a high shutter speed and is capable of taking more than 1 shot per second. The best solution is a digital SLR although it is also the most expensive approach. Next best would be a higher end Prosumer point and shoot like a Canon Powershot.
The top 3 companies in camera sales are Canon #1, Sony #2 and Kodak #3. Although Canon and Sony have been pretty close, the gap is about to widen in Canon's favour as more buyers move to DSLR's and away from the Prosumers. The reason is price and capability. Many DSLR's are less expensive now and have far more capabilty than the Prosumers.
To solve your problem I'd look at a Canon DSLR. nikon is the best. http://www.nikondigital.com/main.html?pa...
http://www.www-camerapurchases.com/the-b... if you want to take FAST pictuers on a digital camera you are going to have to go with a Digital SLR. i have had a Canon Digital reblel EOS for a couple of years now and its great. it takes amazing picture ant the new model has an option for taking up to 14 burst shots in a row at 3 shots per second.
i think these will run you around $800 these days. check it all out at: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/contro... |
