Which camera to buy?

[LEAHnew]

Hi there.. we're in photography business here in Phil, it's been a long time we're using CANON brand as well as Nikon which make our photos very nice even without the help of Adobe Photoshop (Photo editor) the image still ok...but that will depend from the camera's features.

It is difficult to suggest a camera without knowing your needs.

Is size and weight important?
What batteries do you want to use? (AA can be found anywhere)
Do you need a good optical zoom?
How much low light photography will you do?
Do you want to use it for video clips?
Do you want an optical viewfinder (LCD screen can be hard to see in bright sun)
Is it mainly for holiday use (don't want to "flash the cash") or home use
Can you use editing software, or can you learn? (It is often better to get a solid image on the camera, then correct on the PC, than get a reasonable but uncorrectable image on the camera)

For general snaps, I would suggest

It must take AA batteries
It should use SD memeroy cards (buy lots of 1GB cards, change them every couple of days, and don't keep the used ones with you or your camera)
It should have at least a 4X optical zoom, preferably 6X
It should be a compact type, ie fairly small
It is very useful to have optical image stablisation
Read online reviews, not from the shopping sites, but camera mags etc
It should have a good battery life


From a previous comment, red eye takes seconds to remove, but increasing the ASA rating introduces noise (speccles/grainyness) which is hard to remove.

If you are in a hurry, go for a Canon, the PS SP850 has just about all you could want in that price range, or the PS A560 or A460/470

For ease of use, picture quality and battery life, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 or DMC-LZ3 is hard to beat (the LZ3 has no sound on video)

If you want something cheap and cheerful, that does a surprisingly good job, then the Vivitar Vivicam 8400 has a lot of useful features, like an optical viewfinder with dioptre corection, 3X optical zoom, and can be found for £50. But it eats batteries, and isn't that good in low light without the flash.

I would keep clear of Vivitar normally, and HP, Kodak, Casio, Samsung, strange Chinese makes and I wouldn't use Sony, as they use their own memory card.

Look on places like Amazon and ebuyer, often you can get the Canons at a very good price if the model has been discontinued.
