What is the best nikon or canon digital SLR camera?

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:15:29 +0000

I need a good nikon or canon digital slr camera for a beginner that is easy to carry around.

Thanks,

The top rated entry level SLRs are Nikon’s D40, D60 and D80 and Canon’s Xti and XSi.

The best thing to do it trying them all in a store, you’ll know which one YOU like best. Personally I like them all, but leaning somewhat to the Canon XSi. But it’s a matter of what you like and what you want to spend on a camera.
The D40 is the least expensive and still a favorite for a starter DSLR.

Suggestions on the Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera?

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:15:26 +0000

I’m super interested in getting the new Nikon Coolpix s630 digital camera, and I was wondering how people like the Nikon brand in general and what you guys would rate it on a scale of 1 to 5 [5 being great quality]. Also, I’ve heard that it doesn’t have a flash feature? And that instead it has some sort of infared technology. If anyone has this camera or one of the closer models, could you tell me how you like it?

Thanks a lot, in advance =) !

I honestly would hold off for a few weeks. Nikon is about to release a new batch of Coolpix Digital Cameras. I think the date is Feb 3, 2010.

I’m a Nikon shooter, and while I feel their DSLR’s are great; the P&S line…eh, I feel Canon or Panasonic does a better job. What I would do is head to a store and physically hold one. Play with the menus and see how it feels in your hand.

The s630 does have a small flash, it’s right next to the Nikon logo on the front. Take a look at this web site, it lists all of the features:

compare and contrast cameras from the 1960’s to now?

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:15:22 +0000

I did a paragraph and I am completely confused on what to do….I dont have a topic sentence and my english teacher wants us to do this in paragraph…any suggestions???

Consider that most cameras from the 60’s are still in perfect working order today. I have cameras from the 60’s that still shoot just well as the day they rolled off the end of the production line, and most beat my DSLR in terms of image quality and resolution. In fact I have cameras from the 30’s that are in perfect working order and will be for many decades to come. Compare that to today’s modern cameras, packed with electronics and made from mostly plastic. Will they still be working in 50 years time?. Fat chance.

Back then cameras were built to last a lifetime, not just a few years.

What is the difference between these Canon PowerShot digital cameras?

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:15:18 +0000

I want a new digital camera, and Canon PowerShot was recommended to me. It’s for casual, vacation picture use.

What’s the difference between the Canon PowerShot SD1200-IS and the Canon PowerShot A1100-IS. The latter is cheaper, but will it be lower quality?

Canon PowerShot A1100is does not come with low quality.The difference is A1100 use AA batteries make it bulky

Does anyone know a reliable website to buy a camera?

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:15:16 +0000

I have been scammed by low priced sites, such as 86photoandvideo, and am reading about other "companies" scamming consumers. Anyone know of a reliable website to buy a canon digital camera?

I’ve always had good experiences with bhphotovideo.com, adorama.com, and amazon.com.

what the best digital camera available for a reasonable price?

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:15:10 +0000

i currently have the finepix Z and its a nice camera but doesn’t have the cool features that i am looking for like the more recent cameras offer. im looking for a nice camera for a reasonable price. thanks for the help

Recommendations for YOU at the VERY bottom with 2 asteriks, but general info that will help you out before that.

Before i start let me remind you to buy from reputable online dealers such as beachcamera.com, bhphoto, buydig, adorama, ritz camera, J&R, amazon, etc. NOT ebay. Look around those to get the best price. Just remember to check resellerratings.com and BBB.org to see the reputation of the vendor. There are a lot of scam artists online these days.

REMEMBER, megapixels DON’T MATTER, it’s a marketing tool. Any photographer will tell you megapixels have nothing to do with image quality.

If you want REALLY good zoom look at some of the prosumer point and shoot ones, they come with 20x zoom while compact point and shoots usually have 3-4X. When looking at zoom ONLY LOOK AT THE OPTICAL zoom. Digital zoom means NOTHING. If you want to take another picture immediately after, prosumer point and shoots and dslrs are better than compact camera. So if you shoot a lot of moving things or sports, you may require a prosumer point and shoot or a dslr. However most compact point and shoots these days can do fairly well on that too, but no where near as well as a dslr would.

Here are my general suggestions in each range of cameras, organized by 3 groups, compact point and shoots, prosumer point and shoots (basically higher end and bulkier point and shoots), and dSLRS.

Compact Point and shoot: Canon SD 880 IS (comes in gold and sliver), this is one of the best point and shoot cameras out so far and costs around $250 I believe.

Prosumer point and shoot: Sony HX1 or Canon G10 or Canon SX1IS. All three of these are excellent, you can compare them yourselves to see which one you like. These cameras offer a lot more manual control than point and shoots and have higher zooms. They are a bit more advanced than the typical compact point and shoot cameras. They’ll also be more expensive, around 400-600.

dslr: These are your really serious cameras, with interchangable lenses. These will cost a lot! They have interchangable lenses and offer a lot of flexibility and creative control. When you buy these you buy a system and will build on it with life by purchasing more lenses as you go, flashes, tripods, etc etc. Just one of the lenses alone will cost more than your point and shoot will, so they aren’t cheap. Here are my recommendations for dslrs.

Entry level: Nikon D40, Canon Rebel XS (around 500 total with kit lens)

Mid level dslr: Canon XSi or the New T1i (700 for xsi, 900 for T1i with kit lens)

More professional models: Nikon D90 or nikon D300 or Canon EOS 40D, Canon EOS 50D (1000 + )

Full frame: these are the most expensive cameras in the world and will run around as much as a car for the whole system, so i won’t recommend these cuz if you were in the market for these I’m sure you wouldn’t have asked any questions here on yahoo answers, you’d be a professional taking photos for a living.

*NOTE: canon and nikon are the two biggest and best companies when it comes to cameras. Canon by far leads the way when it comes to point and shoots. In SLR, it’s debatable but I prefer Nikon SLRs

**optical zoom is important, megapixels not so important. Stick with canon point and shoots if you are on a budget. It would help if you told us your budget, but just follow those recommendations and you’ll end up with a good camera in whatever price range you have. Remember don’t buy compact point and shoots if you can afford to go over 300. There are better options as i mentioned in my suggestions.

Nikon D3000 Digital SLR Camera

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 21:09:33 +0000

The D3000 is a 10.2 megapixel DX format DSLR camera announced by Nikon on 30 July 2009. It is supposed to replace the D60 and D40 as Nikon’s entry level DSLR. It features a 3.0-inch 230,000-dot resolution LCD monitor, CCD sensor with ISO 100 – 1600 (3200 with Boost) and 3D tracking Multi-CAM1000 11-point AF system which makes it quite similar to the Nikon D200 in these main parts.
The redevelopment of the city’s Old Port took place in the early 90s, under the direction of architects Aurèle Cardinal and Peter Rose.[1]
Today, the riverfront welcomes over seven million visitors per year. The historical Old Port offers Montrealers and visitors alike access to a wide variety of activities, including the Montréal Science Centre, with an IMAX Theatre, and the Montreal Clock Tower. It offers riverfront access for walking, cycling, roller-blading, quadricycle, pedalo and Segway rentals. It is also located at the eastern end of the Lachine Canal, which has itself been extensively refurbished as a popular destination for cycling, roller-blading and pleasure boating.
The Old Port of Montreal changed its name to The Quays of the Old Port of Montreal in 2005. Every 2 years the Cirque de Soleil launches a new show from the Jacques Cartier Quay.[citation needed]
Shipping has been moved further east to the present Port of Montreal site, leaving the riverside area of Old Port adjacent to Old Montreal as a recreational and historical area.
