I need a digital camera?!?

Question

I am going to a photojournalism class for my school newspaper and I am in desperate need of help to find a digital camera that will fulfill my needs for my artistic side and for regular everyday casual snapshots. I also am sick and tired of the same point and shoot, automatic, default settings. I am an aspiring photographer that is yearning to be able to experiment with a digital camera. Anyone know of a decently priced camera that will have me entertained and satisfied????

Answer 1

You don't mention a budget so being a student I will assume it's pretty low.

Canon A-590 power-shot. You can adjust the shutter speed  ISO settings and the aperture. It is a compact ,but not a subcompact camera. It has an easy mode for the less experienced.But you can get creative with it if you wish.

It uses AA batteries and a SD card so for about $200 you can be on your way to taking good pictures.

It has image stabilization,8MP,4x zoom.

Answer 2

Hi,

I have PINK Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W80 and I really like it. I highly recommend it to you for many reasons. This is a great camera for its price. This might be the best choice for its class because it provides IS (image stabilization for shaky hands and moving objects: anti blur), 2.5 inch LCD, 7.2 megapixels and 3x optical zoom.

Moreover, this is very handy, tiny and light camera that you can carry in your pocket without feeling it.

Menus and settings are very easy and clear. Some tips appear on the screen when you are using different modes, it is very helpful.

The picture is PERFECT! I took some really amazing shots with this camera - they were awesome! I highly recommend if you are looking for a small, amazing camera that you purchase this one.

Good luck!

The all time winner bargain compact digital camera is the Canon 7.1 megapixel PowerShot SD1000 [not the IS] 7.1  with an added  2- gig memory card which when set in the manual mode for "Vivid" colors and videos at 30 fps in 320 dpi format provides killer images and videos.  It currently sells for $160 at Sears:
