Recommendations on Digital Cameras
-
Hey guys,
Was wondering which cameras are best for point and shoot photography ~
Currently have a Pentax Optio S30 which is really small - would like to stick around that size. However the S30 takes really blurry photos in low light (with no flash), and horrible flash photography.
I've been considering the Panasonic with its very marketed optical image stabilizer thing ... but apparently Canon has a really good stabilizer too.
All in all, I'm after a compact, well rounded camera that takes great night shots (with and without flash).
Please advise!
Thanks~ -
fujiflim.
can take those supernatural picture.

Try Kodak , Nikon or Canon digital camera's
-
Righttttt ...
No not into third world photography - in fact best if the camera avoids it ~ Any real, factually-substantiated, advice?
EDIT:
I really appreciate the fast responses ~ but it's really general to say "go with Nikon, Panasonic, Canon, Fujifilm" - there are SO MANY big players in the digital photography market ~
was kinda hoping more for specific models that have been tried and tested ~ -
sony's cybershot is a good digi cam, with stability shot function and it is one of the more durable brands and is known for quality but $$
for a substitude one get a cannon ixus 6 series

Thanks ~ my gf has a cybershot but photos very ... blur ... it's this really compact and thin one ~ pretty useless hahaOriginally posted by kenn3th:sony's cybershot is a good digi cam, with stability shot function and it is one of the more durable brands and is known for quality but $$

I'm actually currently considering an SD700 from Canon ~ but wonder how it stacks up realistically (and not based on the marketing claims) -
Already seen it, along with a couple of other DCam sites - not particularly helpful.Originally posted by dakkon_blackblade:
Would really appreciate anyone who owns any of the cams I've mentioned so far to come forward and state their honest opinion - or people who have played/used other actual cameras that they feel are worth recommending -
Probably get a nikon L5. GO search for specs on the net. Lazy to type here. Taken with my Nikon L5.

The camera's brand isn't going to make much of a difference. What will make a difference is your method of taking a photo and the features of the camera.
Personally, I hate using a flash - it just throws all the colours out of whack and looks awful. Without a flash, though, your shutter will have to stay open for longer, which means that you're going to have to keep the camera still, preferably on a tripod but any stable surface will do.
Your typical point-and-shoot camera will do the thinking for you, which would be well and good if it could actually make the right decisions. You're much better off getting a camera that will let you manually adjust your settings like aperture size and shutter speed, and once you get the hang of it, you'll find that you get much better results than with a point-and-shoot.
These shots were taken at night with no flash using a Canon Powershot S1IS (which has since been superceded with the S3IS):
The S1IS isn't the most whiz-bang camera around, but if you learn about things like lighting conditions, you can get some pretty decent results. Here are some samples of different kinds of lighting that I posted in another thread recently:
Natural sunlight:
Overcast:
Light box:
Red tungsten light:
Bottom line: get a camera with manual settings, as well as a tripod. -
all taken by gf with fujifilm finepix v10 at default settings, without flash.
don't have a really dim photo to show...but its night shots at default settings are quite gd.

all these images are put up for your reference only.. -
I agree flash is quite bad....
if your face is very oily, and the flash just go like that, you see 1 white patch on your face only.
