Recommend me a camera?

Question

I'm looking for a good camera, something that fits my needs.. I need it to take good quality photos for a photography portfolio but also be accessible for every day use such as going out with friends and stuff, it doesn't need a ridiculous amount of memory but i'd like it to have options like puting things in focus and stuff :)

Answer 1

nikon or canon are the leaders without doubt but be care-full, if you go for a massive mega pixel camera you will need a top system to process the images, anything above 3mp is photo quality for a photography portfolio you don't need to go to the expense of 10mp that's to high, look around for a good deal, there is a lot of choice, don't buy the first thing you see, remember you can get excellent results from a box brownie. i use both nikon and canon you will have to think what images you are trying to achieve.  

Answer 2

Canon is a great camera brand! i recommend the power shot selection. They take great pictures and are high in mega pixels

Answer 3

If you go for P&S camera, I will recommend Canon Powershot G9.

It built for Pro-Am use, yet it is compact enough to carry around all day long.

Answer 4

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 under low light conditions. It currently sells for $140 at Fotoconnection.com:

Answer 5

Nikon makes the best in my opinion people in my family own cannon and sony HD cameras and i have a Nikon Coolpix from 4 years ago with 7.2 MP on it and it still is better then there's . take my word for it there not that expensive either im pretty sure one of the newer Nikon cameras has 10.1 MP or 10.0 MP its a great camera once you take a picture you wont believe what you can do with theme either since the quality of the pictures are so high you can zoom in so far one time i took a picture of my friends car for him to sell on ebay and there was a little scratch on the fount bumper and when i say little it was about an inch long impossible to see and he had to make me take another picture cause when he zoom'd in he saw it you can zoom well over 10X actual vision and it stays perfict quality. trust me amazing Cameras!
