I am going to buy digital camera for personal use and photo printer!!!help to choose,plz!?

I want to buy a digital camera. I don't know how to work with SLR camera, and the very important thing is the good quality of picturtes. I also want to get a photo printer. I don't care about the price,just want to be satysfied with the quality of pictures. So what can you advise ? any suggestions? thank u,thank u ,thank you!!!!!!!!

Well, since money is no object all doors are open. The first question you *must* ask is what size pictures you are going to print.

Up to 8x10: Many of the new point and shoot cameras will give great pics. I bought a Casio Exilim and was so pleased with the quality that I bought each of my kids one also. Besides great pics, this camera series also takes *great* movies. The Kodak easyshare series is also top rated.

Over 8x10: Here you will have to get an SLR to get great pics of this size. I use a Pentax K10D and the pentax *istD and have blown up to 24x26inch with wonderful results. The Canon 20/30/...D series are also very good camreas. Unfortunately, digital SLR's will not allow you to make movies. Most Digital SLRs today have a Green Mode. This will essentially turn the SLR into a point and shoot camera. It will set your exposure and auto focus and take a very good pic in most normal situations.

Go to www.dpreview.com to get an umbiased review of all digital cameras. They also have a multi-question form you can fill out to help you choose the best camera for your situation.

Good Luck!

I like Kodak and they are not too expensive and they have package deals including camera, printer, and accessories, etc.

check the amount of pixels so you know how musch storage you have and the quality of pics. most come with an anti shake quality now, make sure you get that because it helps with quality of pics! talk to a rep at best buy, or wherever you plan to purchase from. they can help answer all your questions.

I'm on my third Canon, started with the S30, sold that, bought an S410 then traded up to a S630. I didn't trade up because of dissatisfaction, I traded up because of newer technologies and the ease of selling my old cameras on ebay. I LOVE Canon cameras, and everyone of my close friends are also on their third or fourth (!) Canon. Compared to other digitals i've seen, the picture quality is equal or better than the best i've seen from Sony, Kodak, Minolta and so forth. Not only that, but they are durable and obviously someone put some thought into the industrial design of their bodies. As for your printer, I would go with any type of Epson photo printers. I'd go as high as your budget would allow, and if longevity of your prints is of importance, I'd choose a higher end model that uses their archival inks. Hope this helps!

I know that everyone loves to print their pics at home now, but my best advice is to still take them somewhere to be printed. You will blow thru ink like there is no tomorrow and in the long run it is cheaper to send them out.

the kodak easyshare z710 is a good camera and you can buy the docking unit to print your pixs right from the cam.

Definitely Sony. Its the coca cola of digital cameras. The real thing. Check it out at http://www.geocities.com/lcming/sony
