I am looking to buy my first digital camera.
I am looking for a great quality camera somewhere in the $150-$250 price range that is not too big so it can easily fit in my purse. I would like a camera that takes good action shots, one that takes pictures right after the other without much delay. I also need one that is good in low light or dark settings. I would also like it to have a decent zoom option.
What would you recommend? Canon makes the best digital cameras. They invested heavily in digital camera technology about 10 years ago and it's paying dividends. Now all the other camera companies are scrambling to catch up. Canons are the most user friendly and have the most/best features for the money.
I have a Canon PowerShot A550 that I bought for about $175.00 and it does everything I want it to do (and I'm an amateur photographer). You'll have a hard time finding a camera that takes shots one right after the other very quickly because it takes digital cameras a while to project the previous picture and reset. In addition, most digital cameras are not very good in low-light settings unless you're talking about one of the professional grade digital SLR cameras like the Canon Digital Rebel (which is way out of your price range). Finally, the PowerShot series may be a little big for a purse too. You may want to take a look at Canon's ELPH series, and be prepared to pay $250.00 or more. pentax m30 sony cyber shot. then u whant kodak at lest 7millon megapixal All of the major brands are good. Choose a brand that appeals to you. Then you have to think about getting a spare battery, what size memory card, if you want an extended warranty, how much you can afford, what size zoom, if you want manual controls, the size of the camera, finding a reliable place to purchase it, and the list goes on and on and on.......
The first thing to realize is that almost any digital camera will take good pictures. If more people would read the manual more than once, they would be able to take better pictures. Usually, the person assumes it is the camera when it could be them not knowing exactly what to do. Just give yourself more photographic knowledge by doing more reading on the internet.
I really believe buying a camera is an individual choice.
The person needs to read alot of reviews on cameras so they can decide on the features that they really want and need.
Go to the store and hold them so you can see if they feel comfortable in your hands. If possible, take some pictures in the store to check the quality of the pictures.
I can only give a suggestion of what to look for in a new digital camera.
Good Luck
